The only formula to retain the employees is to genuinely care about them. The company policies should reflect this. Also, there are other factors involved like the role of each individual I  the company should be well defined. Then only there can be good reporting and you can expect the employee to be content with his work also. If the employees get bonus and extra pay for extra work, they will feel that the company cares about them. The employer should also keep communicating with employees frequently.

Apart from conducting a survey about whether or not an employee leaves, there must be an additional reason why they want to leave the company they currently occupy because in my opinion this is one thing that really has a connection between one and the other.
We can't say they lost or not because in this case we still don't know the reasons that really made them want to leave.
If indeed the reason they left makes sense, such as problems that often occur in compensation or wages that don't match then indeed we also can't blame the employees who want to leave but when the reasons they do for leaving are things that don't really make sense then maybe I will say they failed at this.

Sometimes people consider that when employees come out of work because there is a problem with the company, but according to the latest survey states that employees who come out because they feel the salary offered by the new company is more feasible and appropriate, the most common company's mistakes are no appreciation to employees, and the best awards for employees is to provide a decent salary.

For some people - they would want to change the environment every year some people want to stick to one place.
There is a big telecom company in my country - when people leave that - they are always unhappy for resigning. I think if you a comfortable at one place stay there and dont be over effect
The advice you give is not wrong, but it's just more suitable for those who prioritize comfort without prioritizing a large salary. Because some people who are aiming for a big salary or income will not always prioritize comfort as long as they can be able to survive in a job that has no comfort at all.

But if the choice is intended for me personally, then I will choose a job with a higher salary, because comfort will come by itself when we truly enjoy and love our work.
Although, as I said before, where getting a job with a higher salary is not an easy matter at this time, so most people will only choose a comfortable job with a modest salary.


It burns you out quickly and will cause a mental breakdown; I've been in that situation, and even though I resigned, many people asked why I quit that job, given that it pays well and can make you wealthy. Well, at first, it is very stressful, and just to make my mind positive, I am saying that I will be happy while doing this job after a few months, but it turns out I will not be. Can you imagine I'm still bringing my task home and usually don't have time for my family? I'm also easily irritated, so my family is affected by it. It took me months to decide to shift careers, so now I am happy, and I am always looking forward to Mondays to go to work, unlike before.
There are really some exemptions when it comes into these kind of situations on which you would be needed to quit or resign on a certain job if you arent that happy or it do really make out huge effects on your living
not only on some aspects but on major ones which is really that affecting you as a person and towards also into your family which it would really be just right that you should really do and you cant
really be just living like this forever.Even myself had tested or experienced out on having a job which is really just too far on my interest and very stressful which i have decided on resigning and
finding another job which do really suits me out and wont really be that something give out some problems on my daily life.Yes,its good paying but if you arent
happy on doing it then it would really be a burden.

Without a doubt there are circumstances in which you have no other option but to take the highest salary possible due to some debts you may have or because you have other more pressing needs, but I can tell you that sooner or later this is going to take a toll on you as I have seen people which only cared about the money and they were miserable, because they did things they hated just to get a few more dollars and whatever happiness they got from that money was eclipsed by the unhappiness that job brought them.

Long-term employee retention is not a losing battle if the company knows how the treat people, it's part of the corporate culture, and as long as bureaucracy and policy isn't opposite of these.

Data do not lie. If these companies do not want to keep losing this battle they have to start caring about their employees. They have to treat their employees great. In this day and age companies need to start to try to be human and actually care about what their employees care about or at least putting it on the same pedestal with the degree at which the company cares about making profit. We need new generational leaders who are high on emotional intelligence.


Employees leave their jobs because the company does not care about them; they have few benefits and a low salary and treat employees like robots. I am also planning to quit my job in the next 6 months due to a low salary and many tasks you need to do but no salary increase. This can make the employee burn out, and I am sure it could affect the company's transaction if they quit immediately without proper handover. I'm not sure when they will recognize their employees' efforts, but they should begin focusing on employee development now so they can later focus on expanding their business.

When someone is comfortable working in a company, most of them will be loyal and accept even with a small salary, I have worked in a company and mostly filled with employees who have been working for more than 20 years, of course it is very difficult to find or move to work if I have worked too long at one place.
A comfort is indeed very difficult to exchange for a bigger salary at another company, because working comfortably is everyone's dream besides they are looking for money. It is indeed very logical to maintain because everyone also will not be able to last long on a large salary if there is no comfort when they work. And besides that, the difficulty of getting a job with a big salary can also be the main reason for some people who still want to stick with their old job even though their income doesn't increase.

Not all workers have the same talent, but not all companies have the same compensation neither. I have been working for the same person for over 6 years now, do you know how that happened? I am a good employee I think, I do my best, and he is a great boss and we found an amazing pairing, you know how? Because I do my best, and he pays me accordingly and even then some, and keeps me insanely happy, I would never even consider working for anyone else.
That is why companies need to choose people who are suitable in their work, companies also have standards for the selection of employees they recruit, so they can work according to the duties charged, the company's compensation is different, if you have worked well according to the standards What is set, then surely the company will pay compensation that is in accordance with the employment contract agreement, it is the obligation of the company and cannot commit violations of compensation, because workers are protected by law and the company cannot ignore it.

Quote
Do you think companies pay their employees like that? How many companies are out there paying people so much money that people would not even consider working for another company? Not a lot, most companies pay 50% of what you should be paid, that’s the problem.
That should be done by the company and pay employees in accordance with the agreement, this cannot be ignored by the company, because workers can sue the company if they do not pay appropriate compensation. I don't understand what you mean most companies pay 50% that you should pay.

The presence of technology allows anyone to change work easily and quickly, I also feel the easy to send an online job application application and get the opportunity to work, of course I adjust the right time to be able to take the test in the company that I am aiming for, of course the main reason is the offer of salary higher.

Indeed evident. An employee could seek for a high salary but would encounter toxic environments. For people who became employees for years, they settle for things which are more important to them. Some would choose salary over environment but we cannot blame those who wants a peaceful life as an employee. We do all have different circumstances. If you are needing money then you're morr likely to last in a company which pays high but if you're not having that much of problem, you'd be good with a healthy working environment. It depends on the individual because that would be your preference.

They will be forced to win the battle in the long run, otherwise they will lose all their employees and stop their companies. Sooner or later companies will realize that continuing with this same policy will cause them to lose their employees and stop their business, so I expect that they will start improving the standard of living and salaries to ensure the survival of their employees.
 But at the same time, companies are going through difficult times as a result of the bad global economic situation, so they may look for other solutions, for example, using workers from other countries who accept lower wages and a lower standard of living, but certainly these workers will not be of the same quality and experience as the resigning workers and this will have a negative impact bad in the long run.

Due to technology booming success, mostly people (specially in GenZ) can find easier job, without a boss (like vlogging, affiliation, etc). Most of the business also have a major crisis in starting after a long vacation from the pandemic that can't afford to hire their previous employees. Sadly, most of the 90's baby is much affected by it. I just not ok to that people nowadays don't like so much work, but can't blame them because the hardworkers sometimes received small amount of compensation rather than those who enjoying videoing themselves and can earn thousands of dollar.

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)
when your time ends at some place you are suppose to move from that place.
That is one way of saying it. But someone having the skills will be able to move on to another place. The difference is between the old and the young, the young are usually trying to settle, so they will accept the lower payment at a new or old place while the older user will try to retain their position in the company and not move.

There are exceptions but trying to maintain the status quo is what majority of people try to do over time. It is a sense of comfort with regular routine and regular place to work in.

Even then, getting laid off is bad thing both emotionally and economically. I do hope the future generations understand this and attempt in hobs that they have interest or a passion in.

I still don't get what that means but if it's about the low salary then it's really just going to be an adaption matter. You'll have to depend on that place and as well as your way of living.
Whether it's a small amount of salary per month and companies won't think about your welfare, you'll just have to do the things on your own and do all the adjustments.

Long term employment is a relic of the past. Why would anyone wish to stay in a single role their whole life? Or work with a single company? People need change to grow and learn otherwise they are nothing but work slaves. A long time ago, back when jobs were very lucrative in pay and very rare, only the best and luckiest were selected. Obviously given the living conditions of those times the employees wanted to stay as long as possible. Because that job gave them a comfortable life. With time, employers became greedier and jobs became more abundant. Working no longer provided the same rewards as before.

Nowadays employers demand very high qualifications for crappy jobs with low pay. Even though the jobs themselves require minimal training time for new employees. So now its all about who pays more and because of this competitive market, people jump from one job to another, better paying one.

If employers sacrificed part of their profits for higher employee wages, they would have employees staying longer with them. But that is not cost effective, if you consider the cost of training new employees who accept lower wages.

The only reason I can see is financial stability through one job or company that you acknowledge; we seek comfort in what we know and feel safe with. Change is sometimes difficult and may seem out of reach for some, which is one of the reasons someone would be hesitant to make such a switch. On the other hand, by switching jobs, you're much more likely to obtain a pay rise than by staying in the same job for years. 

Another article I recently read claimed that the average increase in salary for someone who's staying at a specific job for years is up to 4–5%, while changing jobs can achieve up to 20%. I can't vouch for the validity of such claims, but it sounds possible. Long-term employees are rarely appreciated until their resignation comes.

If we often change jobs then our skills will never be maximized, sometimes people think that by changing jobs then he can benefit, if we only come from a salary of course this is a wrong thing, companies pay salaries of course look at the skills we have, if we are paid low then the company sees that our skills are still low.
Logically, when someone has worked in several places with different professions, it is clear that there will be a bit of different experience and different knowledge that he will get. Even though it won't be optimal, if he has a high will to continue to improve his abilities in certain fields that already have the basics, then nothing is impossible for him to get the maximum knowledge and abilities.

The company also places certain people with their respective expertise in the required fields because that is also based on the knowledge and experience that someone already has. Because companies only need employees who work well apart from having certain skills and the company obviously won't think about how much knowledge and experience you have gained while working there.
