Discover the six most common reasons people leave their job – and strategies you can use to improve these areas of your business.
It’s impossible to build a successful business if you can’t hold on to your best employees.
In fact, studies have shown the top 5% of workers produce a massive 26% of their business’s output. Which means losing just a handful of your top performers can have a huge impact on your company’s bottom line.
Read on for our pick of the top strategies organizations of all sizes can use to retain their top talent, keep them happy, and help make sure they’re engaged with their work.
A retention strategy is a plan an organization puts in place to keep the number of employees who quit their jobs as low as possible while boosting employee engagement and wellbeing across the business.
It costs your business 20% of an outgoing employee’s salary to replace them – and even more than that for high earners. Which means solving the retention challenge can have a huge impact on your business’s bottom line.
What’s more, companies with higher turnover rates have lower employee engagement levels. And since organizations with highly engaged workforces outperform their peers by a massive 147% in earnings-per-share, the total cost of high turnover rates seriously add up.

Want to reduce your company’s staff turnover? Here are the six most common reasons people leave jobs – and the strategies you can start implementing today to help improve these areas of your business and boost your retention rates.
38% of workers who quit do so in their first year – and two out of three employees who leave in the first year do so in the first six months.
Which goes to show how important the way you welcome new employees can be.
Despite this, 51% of employees think their onboarding experience was subpar.
Start things off on the right foot with your new teammates with a new hire survey, which will help set both sides up for success and give you a clear understanding of how your new employee works, thinks, and operates.
Fostering open and honest communication as part of your company culture mix and will also encourage your new hires to open up about any issues they’re facing during one-on-ones and employee pulse surveys.
Today, flexible working options are a must for a lot of employees – especially millennials and gen Z.
In fact:
Expecting your staff to commute to a physical office and sit glued to a desk from nine to five is a surefire way to tank your retention rates in the age of remote working. Instead, consider letting your employees choose where and when they work and measure performance on tangible outcomes, not the time it takes to do them.
Offering a share scheme to your employees so they have a real, tangible stake in your success is one of the most effective ways to retain talent. In fact, 95% of businesses with a share scheme say it has actively helped to improve employee loyalty.
A strong employee share scheme can help your company attract top performers in the first place – and then help keep them on your team for years to come. And when your employees have shares in your company, your success is their success. This gives them a sense of ownership and belonging that can drastically boost engagement across your organization.
Businesses that give their employees a voice are a massive 12X more likely to retain them.
And it’s no wonder why. Empower your people with a real say in how things are done in your organization through surveys and one-to-ones and they can carve out the job they want. That’s not going to be something they’ll want to leave in a hurry.
On the other hand, people who feel like they need to hide part of themselves from their colleagues are never going to be able to bring their best selves to work every day. And that will leave them eyeing the exit – and rarely going the extra mile while they remain your employee.
Try Assembly to see how easy it can be to empower your employees with a voice.
A massive 82% of workers have considered quitting because of a bad manager.
So, don’t be surprised if a team member is eyeing the door if their boss:
All the hard work you put into retaining your best employees will go out the window if your people managers constantly undermine them.
Effective organizations understand this and make giving their managers all the training and support they need to do a great job a key part of their retention strategy. If you’re currently promoting your best individual contributors to management roles without giving them any training, then you’d be well advised to make training them properly a priority.
A massive 79% of people who quit their jobs say a lack of appreciation was a major reason they left.
Despite this, respondents to one survey reported an average of 50 days since they last felt recognised in any way at work – while a Gallup poll shows that 65% of employees haven't received any form of recognition for good work in the last year.
Developing an effective employee recognition program could transform your retention rates. And giving your managers tools that make it easy for them to praise their colleagues – like Assembly’s Give Recognition Flow – is a simple way to bake recognition into your company culture.
