Bad management, specifically a poor relationship with one's direct supervisor, is cited as the primary reason employees leave their jobs. Studies have found that 88% of employees quit for reasons other than pay, though 70% of managers believe pay is the main factor. Other common reasons for leaving include lack of recognition for one's contributions, an unhealthy work environment, lack of career growth opportunities, and imbalance between work and personal life. To improve retention, organizations must focus on employee satisfaction by addressing needs, treating people with respect, and ensuring fairness and motivation.

2. Why Employees Quit Organization-
Employees quit organization for many reasons though it is generally believed
that employees leave organization mainly for monitory benefits. It may be one
of the reasons but definitely not the main reason for quitting an organization,
when organization is offering a competitive compensation. In different research
it has been found that number one reason for employees' turnover is “Bad
Boss”. Whether an employee will stay with you or not, it depends on how you
are treating or giving value to your employees. In most of the cases people like
to leave manager, not the company. How much you pay to your employees will
not matter to them if they are not respected, not valued or sidelined. It has been
found that 88% employees leave their job for reasons other than pay related
issues. But interestingly 70% managers think that employees leave
organization for monitory benefits.

recognized they leave their organization.

employee that organization will ensure a good
working environment for its employees. If
organization does not ensure a secured and
congenial working environment, employees don’t
feel comfort and leave organization.

Today’s business world is very competitive. If any
organizations doesn't offer competitive
compensation packages it would be very difficult
for them to retain good employees.

put their best effort to do well in organization.
They are committed to do whatever it requires to
build their career. But when they notice no
opportunities wait for their career development
they become frustrated and leave organization.

Today work-life balance has emerged as an
important reason for employee turnover. Some
situation like sifting duties, expected job posting,
getting married, becoming mother etc sometimes
create extra pressure to employees and they
leave their job.

It is one of the major reasons why employees
leave organization. A good organization should
ensure proper justice for all of its employees; if
organization doesn’t ensure justice, people
become de-motivated and leave organization.

12. Lack of Motivation
Poor management practice, lack of
communications skill, Injustice or not recognizing
employee’s contribution is the main reasons for
poor employee motivation. A poorly motivated
employee, don’t enjoy his job and he leaves
organization.

satisfaction. So, employers need to listen employee’s
needs and expectation carefully to develop employee
retention strategy for sustainable business growth.
