to a career and life you'll truly enjoy

and today is my very first corner office

insights video so this is a new segment

on my channel where I'm going to speak

to you if you happen to be a manager

senior manager director or CC with C

suite level executive in your

organization and you're responsible for

managing a team I'm going to share with

you some raw and real insights that you

need to know if you truly want to become

a better leader in your company

so today I'm going to share with you

five key reasons why many companies are

losing good employees so if you happen

to be in this situation then this is the

right video for you so as a manager

there will come a day or there may have

already been many days where your direct

report your employee your staff member

asks to meet with you privately and in

that meeting they hand over their letter

of resignation and you're shocked this

happens to be an amazing employee they

are heavily relied upon by you and now

they're telling you that they're leaving

you didn't see it coming and you might

even ask them why why are you leaving

were you not happy here and then as you

continue to question you might even ask

yourself is there a chance that it might

be because of me was it something that I

said or I did well I can tell you this

the answer that your soon-to-be ex

employee is going to tell you is likely

not going to be the entire truth they're

not going to give you the real reasons

as to why they're leaving because their

fear of burning their own bridges is

much greater than their desire to share

with you the truth not to worry I'm

going to give you my top five real

reasons why you're good employees are

leaving you and what you need to think

about in order to resolve this if it's

happening in your company reason number

one your employees are leaving you

there's no room for growth this is by

far the most common and the biggest

reason that I hear from job candidates

who want to leave their companies good

employees are good because they're

ambitious they're keen to learn they

consistently produce high quality work

and they deliver value but what happens

when they've done that for a while

they've made amazing accomplishments and

now they're ready to move up and

naturally they're going to start to look

at what opportunities are available to

them in their current organization and

if there's nothing available no room for

advancement they know they're stuck and

that's the point where they start to

think about moving into another company

looking for new opportunities outside of

the organization so as the manager if

you don't want to get to a point where

you get a letter of resignation sooner

than you would like then you need to be

thinking about the future of your

employees long before they do you need

to accept the fact that this is natural

and you need to anticipate it as human

beings we're ambitious we have desires

we want to experience new things and so

that is naturally going to happen with

your good ambitious employees as well so

the plan here now is on your team if

there are some employees who are really

good people that you truly want to keep

you need to start thinking about their

future now not at the point when they

hand you their letter of resignation at

that point it's way too late you need to

start planning out with them where you

see them going where you see them moving

up and what opportunities you can

potentially help them to get into after

they've completed and truly achieved

what they've need needed to in this

current role and I have seen this

firsthand I have seen certain

individuals who have been able to take

on a multitude of roles in their

organizations and because of that they

stayed quite a long time and they became

valuable assets to their companies so if

that's what you want with your current

employees then you need to start

planning reason number two while you're

good employees are leaving you is due to

a lack of challenging work now when it

comes to challenging work there are

actually two subsets to this the first

is that there's not enough autonomy

meaning the employee does not get enough

independence and freedom to do their

work

or two the work isn't challenging

because it's too routine first let's

talk about lack of challenging work in

terms of lack of autonomy good employees

like to feel a sense of ownership over

their work these employees are good

because they deliver high quality work

and they want to be given the freedom to

be able to do their work their way if

you're finding yourself micromanaging

every aspect criticizing and not

complimenting or encouraging then you

will quickly find yourself with an

unhappy employee who's going to want to

leave so the solution to this is

whenever you can ask your employee for

their opinion ask them for what their

approach would be and give them the

freedom

to test it out now when it comes to the

work being too routine good employees

especially if they're highly ambitious

will eventually become bored they need

challenge they need variety they need

different experiences so as their

manager you want to be able to predict

this and foresee this by planning out

projects ahead of time and letting your

employee know about them so that they

can feel engaged and work hard for not

only themselves but for the organization

reason number three you don't have a

real connection with your employees the

connection that you have with your

employee is huge because it's going to

determine how long they're gonna stay

with you and whether they truly want to

work with you if you're good employee

simply views you as just someone who

gives them their paycheck rather than

someone who they feel empowered by who

they want to help in support there's a

big difference there you have to

remember that you're not just their boss

you're someone who they look to as a key

player in their career so the way that

you connect with your employees

determines whether they'll be happy and

stay at their job with you or whether

they leave your organization and go for

something else so what's the key to

connecting with your employees the

answer is to be present be present with

them have genuine discussions learn more

about your employees what excites them

what they're motivated by be present for

them every single day when you're

present with someone they will be able

to sense it and they'll be able to

appreciate it they will see you as

someone who does see value in them and

that will give them that sense of

empowerment and a sense of wanting to

stay worth with you longer under your

leadership

now this ties into reason number four as

to why you're good employees are leaving

you and that is you as the manager are

not inspiring enough how good are you at

truly motivating your employees or do

you find yourself turning your employees

against each other thinking that that's

going to motivate them that's not

inspiring to anyone in order to become

someone and a manager a leader that

others aspire to be you have to find

that sense of

inspiration from within yourself you

have to inspire yourself to step outside

of your ego so instead of focusing on

you you need to place your focus on your

employees and be able to identify and

recognize their value think about it

everybody wants to be able to feel that

they are valued that they are making a

bigger impact for any cause or

organization or team that they're on and

so if you can tell your employees that

they are valued that the work that

they're do that they're doing does have

an impact that's going to make them feel

more committed and more engaged with the

work that they're doing and with the

place that they're at if you can help

them to feel connected to the work that

they do and why they're there in the

impact that they're making they are much

more likely to last longer in your

company and finally reason number five

while your good employees are leaving

you is that the pay isn't fair or

reasonable now this is self explanatory

but if you know that you are paying

under paying your employees then you can

expect that turnover is going to happen

unless you can have already planned for

this and implemented benefits that are

going to go above and beyond what the

pay allows so for example additional

vacation employee centered events

purposeful work training anything that

is going to get them to stay engaged and

compelled to stay longer at the

organization is going to help so there

you have it my five reasons on why

you're good employees are leaving you
