The MetLife 9th Annual Study of Employee Benefit Trends released in March 2011 found that compared with previous surveys, the U.S. workforce has grown much more dissatisfied and that one out of three employees hopes to be working elsewhere in the next 12 months.
At the same time, the study found that employers are unaware of this potential flight risk and instead believe that their organizations have maintained strong levels of employee job satisfaction and loyalty. In companies where this kind of disconnect exists, employers may be unprepared for higher than expected turnover rates if the labor market continues to improve.
The ten top reasons employees leave work, according to many research studies are:
1. Employee/manager relationship
2. Inability to use core skills
3. Not able to impact the organization’s goals, mission
4. Frequent reorganizations; lack of control over career
5. Inability to grow and develop
6. Employee/organization values misalignment
7. Lack of resources to do the job
8. Unclear expectations
9. Lack of flexibility; no whole life balance
10. Salary/benefits
