Immediate managers cause 38.15% of Attrition
It confirms my theory that employees don’t leave their job or
company… They leave their manager.

 HR should continuously train managers
in handling employee expectations
 HR should provide them with the
necessary tools
 An online Manager Services solution to
allow managers to constantly counsel
employees
What to do?Why?
HR should also be able to track changes in employee performance rating, gaps between
employee and manager performance, sudden increase in paid-time-off and should be
prepared to act quickly if any visible trends are evident.

All companies want to become the ‘best paying employer’, but market forces,
tough competition and a slow economy dictate otherwise
Balancing P&L and employee compensation shall always be a nightmare for
them given the high cost of talented employees.

The Problems
54.82%

job profile increases

The Solutions

Convince employees that they are compensated in direct proportion to their
productivity
Each individual should be assigned SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable,
Reviewable and Time Based) goals and you could cascade these from
organization objectives
Employees work on
goals that are
aligned to the
company objectives
Adopt a fair and transparent compensation policy where each employee gets
his/ her dues based on company, team & individual performance
Compensation
and Job Profile
become
manageable
