    As a professional in this field, top reasons would be…

    • Dissatisfaction with pay
    • Limited/No career progression
    • Dissatisfaction with environment/culture
    • Dissatisfaction with management
    • Poor work-life balance
    • Poor job design/expectations of role
    • Poor taining quality/knowledge management
    • Inadequate tools/systems

    Edit: I should also point out we have about half a dozen ping-pong tables scattered around my work and our turnover figures were bang on average for annual benchmarking against the sector. I consider the average too high, though, and will be targeting better retention over this year. We’ll need at least double the amount of ping-pong tables.

      I don’t see pizza party or ping pong table on that list so you’re obviously not a professional.

      A real professional knows employees want pizza parties instead of higher pay and they want more responsibilities with the same pay!

      :P

      you really a pro, I’m looking for other jobs precisely because of 1 and 2, even though the rest are all great at my current job

      My top reasons for leaving a job:

      • Too little pay
      • Too many responsibilities
      • The possibility of career progression

      The three Big Nos. My optimal work-life balance is 0.1-99.9. If they trust me to be able to do even one thing, that pay better be huge.

      Almost all of these applied to the last job I left, so I guess it’s pretty spot on.

        Strategic Workforce Planning. It’s a bit different to HR in that there’s a lot of data analysis. Typically we would use data to identify retention issues (reasons, areas, seasonality, etc) and figure out how to improve it. We’d then hand that over to HR to implement fuck up.
