INTERVIEWED an exiting employee, and here are 10 insights I would like to share with you:

1. Mental resignation happens long before. The physical resignation is the final act of a loss of hope.
2. You can’t try to appreciate someone on their way out. It is a little too late.
3. Money motivates only to a point. People rarely leave just for money.
4. Career progression is one of the biggest factors to retention. Every job plateaus. Create a career          path for each employee to ensure they stay motivated.
5. Once trust is broken, it's hard to regain.

6. Ensure managers in place uplift and coach employees, rather than criticize and belittle them.

7. Take time to listen to your employees input.

8. Happy employees will produce more than abused employees.

9. Boost employee morale by acknowledging and praising their good work as well.

10.Be empathetic not condecending. No one can look up to someone they cannot respect. 

Your employees are your most valuable asset. Don't take them for granted or treat them poorly. Loyalty is a two-way street.
