One of the biggest research done by the Gallup Organization, compiled in a book titled First, Break All the Rules by Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman, states that if you want to know why those good employees leave the company, you should look into the manager.
Employees don't simply leave the company they have been working for just because of the money. And, actually, it's not the company that they leave, it's the working unit, the manager.
How does that happen?
Let's say that the company gives generous pay, benefits and training, and somehow the employees are satisfied with that. Yet, this company has no good manager to lead and handle these people.
A bad manager doesn't know how to treat their subordinates well enough. They don't realize that good employees are the biggest assets for the company. Yes, there might be many people out there looking for jobs, yet, these managers don't count the expenses the company has to spend on recruitments and trainings. Plus, the possibility that the good employees leave the company for the competitors. They don't consider the loss that company might have to suffer.
That is why it is necessary for employers/managers to learn more about tips on handling employees. They have to understand how to build employees' sense of belonging towards the company, how to create a comforting atmosphere so that the employees feel at ease in staying at the company and most important, how to praise the employees.
Those tips are not only good to retain employees but also good to augment their performance. The employees' satisfaction will surely affects their way of work and eventually affect the company growth.
