As a professional in this field, top reasons would be...

  • Dissatisfaction with pay
  • Limited/No career progression
  • Dissatisfaction with environment/culture
  • Dissatisfaction with management
  • Poor work-life balance
  • Poor job design/expectations of role
  • Poor taining quality/knowledge management
  • Inadequate tools/systems

Edit: I should also point out we have about half a dozen ping-pong tables scattered around my work and our turnover figures were bang on average for annual benchmarking against the sector. I consider the average too high, though, and will be targeting better retention over this year. We'll need at least double the amount of ping-pong tables.

I don't see pizza party or ping pong table on that list so you're obviously not a professional.

A real professional knows employees want pizza parties instead of higher pay and they want more responsibilities with the same pay!

:P

Pizza party solves everything!!

I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Make lemonade, obviously

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Make some kind of lemon powered rocket launcher and force life to take it's lemons back!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But I have no money and lemons are expensive! If only there was a way we could acquire lemons without paying for them... Anyone know where I could find a lemon tree?

Consult our mutual friend, the Lemon Stealing Whore

My top reasons for leaving a job:

  • Too little pay
  • Too many responsibilities
  • The possibility of career progression

The three Big Nos. My optimal work-life balance is 0.1-99.9. If they trust me to be able to do even one thing, that pay better be huge.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Almost all of these applied to the last job I left, so I guess it's pretty spot on.

So ping pong table falls under the third point right? More ping pong = more fun = better culture? Right? /s just for clarity

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Very correct. You can solve bad culture by throwing more money at the problem. Preferably all at once with zero maintenance budget or governance so that the amenities in question can become non-functional monuments to your superior culture. Future generations will find these and marvel at your ingenuity from the safety of the water cooler.

you really a pro, I'm looking for other jobs precisely because of 1 and 2, even though the rest are all great at my current job

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Obviously right? I mean this post is definitely a joke

Strategic Workforce Planning. It's a bit different to HR in that there's a lot of data analysis. Typically we would use data to identify retention issues (reasons, areas, seasonality, etc) and figure out how to improve it. We'd then hand that over to HR to ~~implement~~ fuck up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There’s some new research that shows raising pay is not great for retention. Studies say it’s better to take that money and put it into a long-term benefit line a pension, profit sharing, while life insurance with a cash out value, etc.

Raises and bonuses had about a 3-month effect.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

That seems highly suspect.

Was this research sponsored by the association for research into golden parachuting out of a pillaged company?
