Employee turnover is a massive concern for employers the world over. Employers spend plenty of time and money training employees to fit in the job roles assigned to them. Once this training is done, employers want their employees to stay longer, so that everything that has been taught to them during the training sessions can be implemented for the good of your organization.
Seeing an employee leave can be frustrating, expensive, and time-consuming for employers. Several estimates in this regard have found out that the total cost of losing an employee could well be over the annual salary of that specific employee.
The immediate impact of losing an employee can be even more catastrophic if you aren’t prepared for the news. As a manager, it comes under your job responsibilities to check upon employees and see if they are fascinated towards or are thinking of joining other competitors. All grievances should also be checked so that no employee suddenly comes into your office one day to hand in their resignation letter.
Here we look at some of the telltale signs that your employee is about to leave:
No Longer Committed to Long Term Projects
Long term projects come with a whole new level of challenge and reward for employees. Any employee thinking of a future in your organization would never say no to a future long term project. However, someone who does not see themselves hanging around, in the long run, would shy away from long term projects and would be more inclined towards short term ones.
Active on LinkedIn
Seeing an employee continuously online on LinkedIn or posting new articles, building new connections, and joining new groups on the platform should be a red flag for you. Employees looking for a new job opportunity almost always turn to LinkedIn to see their options.
Absent a Lot
An increase in employee absenteeism is a sign of an employee either feeling low on morale or losing all interest in the job. The person is disinterested and is probably looking for jobs that can make them feel better and more interested. Even if they do come to the office, they stay reserved and quiet and do not interact with many people.
Less Interested in Advancement
It is easy for managers to spot employees who were very excited and eager about promotions and advancements previously, but have lost all interest in that. This happens because employees do not see their future in the organization and aren’t really looking for growth opportunities here. They want to shift jobs and explore options elsewhere.
