On The Job

NOVEMBER 8, 2021

I've never met anyone who takes a job and thinks: "I'm going to quit this job in 90 days and start the job hunting process all over again." So why do so many people find themselves quitting a job after less than a year? I think a big part of the problem is that job seekers don't ask enough questions during the interview process. They hear some general idea about what they'll be doing, their salary and company benefits and don't ask any questions.

Retaining your team is crucial to your organization’s success. Here’s what you can lose if your workforce members leave: Money: Turnover costs one-half to two times one person’s salary. Morale: With people leaving, team members might become overworked to compensate for the lack of workforce. As a result, this may produce low morale and a negative work atmosphere (as well as a greater likelihood that other employees will choose to walk out the door).
