People still leave their jobs because they don’t like their boss, don’t see opportunities for promotion or growth, or are offered a better gig. But timing plays a big role too.

If a company has to resort to the measures mentioned in this article, then that company is monitoring the wrong things. Rather than looking for warning signs that an employee is about to leave, the company should be doing more productively. Leadership training, open honest employee communication, regular one on ones with supervisors, career development and, here’s the big one, leadership needs to ask questions and then listen to what their employees are saying and then act on that information. #leadership

This HBR article argues job market is moving into a new “big brother AI” dimension. I frankly doubt the efficacy of tecnology in this. I still believe the job change is driven by ambitions, motivation for a professional and economic growth and, particularly for new generations, individual needs and balanced lifestyle. Companies need to grow in the understanding of this last one to protect their young valuable workforce.

LinkedIn Top Executive Coaching Voice ♦️ Executive Coach for Senior Leaders in Financial & Professional Services
Why People Quit their Jobs Scanning this HBR article, I was looking for insights, having most recently worked with a client who - senior, experienced and successful - had quit their job and wasn't, at least initially, fully clear on what had driven them to follow-through on this action. So, this caught my eye: "We've learned that what really affects people is their sense of how they're doing compared with other people in their peer group, or with where they thought they would be at a certain point in life." 💭 The article goes on to share that the most likely times for this to happen are around events that prompt people to make these comparisons, "work anniversaries (whether of joining the company or of moving into one’s current role) are natural times for reflection" and birthdays, "particularly midlife milestones such as turning 40 or 50—can prompt employees to assess their careers and take action if they’re unhappy with the results." This probably isn't surprising in itself, it's natural to compare ourselves to our peers or to the goals we set for ourselves at different landmark stages of life. But sometimes, these comparisons can leave us feeling stuck, unfulfilled, and as demonstrated by this research, even making drastic changes in response to such comparisons. 😕 So, how can we take control of our career journey before reaching that tipping point? The answer lies in proactively defining our own path and regularly assessing our progress. 🧭 As an executive who has navigated corporate life and as an executive coach working with leaders, I've seen time and again the transformative power of taking a step back to reflect on your career aspirations, expectations and plan for the future. By investing in yourself and your career development, you can make progress towards your goals and feel more confident and happy in your path, regardless of what others are doing or where you thought you "should" be. 💪 If you're curious about how coaching can help you navigate your career, I invite you DM me to schedule a complimentary Career Audit call. Together, we'll assess your current situation, identify areas for growth, and explore if executive coaching can support you in taking control of your professional journey. 📞

Reason for leaving jobs have remained consistent over time: Manager, lack of Growth Opportunities or better offer elsewhere. As mentioned in this article, Job hunting also spikes closer to work anniversaries, life stage events driven by personal milestones and reflections. Actively engaging with employees becomes key but it’s uphill task which requires investment, time and patience. However this effort can lead to improved retention.

Some of the discoveries are unsurprising. Work anniversaries (whether of joining the company or of moving into one’s current role) are natural times for reflection, and job-hunting activity jumps by 6% and 9%, respectively, at those points. But other data reveals factors that have nothing directly to do with work. For instance, birthdays—particularly midlife milestones such as turning 40 or 50—can prompt employees to assess their careers and take action if they’re unhappy with the results. (Job hunting jumps 12% just before birthdays.) Large social gatherings of peers, such as class reunions, can also be catalysts—they’re natural occasions for people to measure their progress relative to others’. (Job hunting jumps 16% after reunions.) Kropp says, “The big realization is that it’s not just what happens at work—it’s what happens in someone’s personal life that determines when he or she decides to look for a new job.”
