2 Read the text again and guess the meaning of the unknown words from the context.
I think it is quite difficult for companies to retain good employees because there is a fierce competition among employers.
It's sad when good employees quit, especially when an organization has invested a lot in them in terms of training, attention, and commitment.
Once I read an article that said that over 50% of employees who have quit their job have done so to get away from their bosses. That's a lot. Another research shows that the people who quit jobs are often the most valuable employees. They are people who feel like they deserve a certain kind of treatment at work, people who feel like they have better options.
One of the most common reasons people quit jobs is that they want more opportunity for promotion and they want to earn more money. They are quite often unsatisfied with their work environment and want to have a better work-life balance.
All these reasons are different ways of saying they need better leadership. Progressive leaders know that you can’t buy loyalty, it has to be earned. Feedback, recognition and attention are the most important factors when it comes to retaining talented people.
