Why Do Employees Leave?
Concern over employee retention was no doubt responsible for the popularity of our report, Why Do Employees Leave?, which is based on a regression analysis of a survey of 5,000 individuals. To understand the drivers for turnover and retention, we analyzed the differences in response rates for employees who expressed their intent to leave their organization “within the next 12 months” and those who intended to stay. As the results below show, the organizations doing a better job of retaining staff are those who attend to issues of fair compensation and whose managers are involved in the growth and development of subordinate employees.

Job Seeker Survey Reports
The 2019 Job Seeker Survey Report (Parts 1-3) explores the perceptions of active and passive candidates with regard to the role of recognition throughout the recruitment process, perceptions of the recruitment process itself and perceptions about pre-boarding and onboarding. Survey highlights from these reports, shown below, paint a clear picture of what candidates really want. Lack of respect is the second most important reason employees leave employers.

The Remote Workforce
Nearly three-quarters of millennials express a desire to have more opportunities to work remotely. What influence does working remotely have on key drivers for engagement? To find out, we conducted a regression analysis of data collected via our nationwide survey of 5,000 U.S. employees. The results presented in our report titled, The Remote Workforce, reveal that individuals who work remotely at least one day a week have a greater tendency to experience recognition from their manager and organization and are more likely to report that their manager has made a personal investment in their growth and development.
