Why Your Best Employee Quit On The Spot
Don’t you feel stupid, your best employee has quit and left you and your company in the mud. They aren’t coming back and they aren’t even going to help you transition properly. A lot of companies are experiencing something like this post-pandemic.
Staff have realised a few things, things like they hate their job, they hate it in the office, and there are other options out there. You’d think that this would make employers show their staff more respect but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
So staff are leaving to retire, work for a rival, or start a pointless business of their own. The world is changing and you need to change or risk losing your best staff.
