IHSCM Insight Session: 6 Reasons Good Employers Lose Good Staff (and none of them are pay)

Your best people aren’t leaving because of pay. They’re leaving because of 6 hidden risks most good employers have never been told about.

Every time a member of staff leaves, it costs around £8,000. Advertising. Interviews. Lost Productivity Time. Re-training. The weeks go by as someone new finds their feet.

That is before you count what leaves with them. The knowledge. The relationships. The standards that quietly drop while you are focused on replacing one person.

Here is what nobody tells you…

There are six hidden reasons good people leave good employers. The same six. Across thousands of businesses. Small ones and large ones.

One of the risks is called “The Manager Will Handle It”. You won’t recognise that term because staff don’t go around thinking it, but they might think “that job is above my pay grade” or “if I pick that task up, I’ll be stuck with it forever”.

All of which are insignificant on their own, per individual, but when one team hits 30% threshold of this type of team dynamic there’s a contagion affect.

The team becomes bottlenecked and the manager has to pickup tasks their team aren’t doing, removing them from other priority tasks like audit preperation or strategic planning. Squeezing managers to their limit, and that’s why they quit. Directly impacting your bottom line.
