According to SHRM, it takes on average 24 days to fill a job. 25% of employees leave within their first year, with bad management being the number one reason they leave. To reduce employee turnover, avoid these common leadership mistakes:
Not setting consistent goals or expectations. Ever seen bug faceted glasses? That is how it looks to new employees if you are not clear.
Burning out your employees. If you don’t give your team the resources they need to succeed, you are setting them up to fail. Make sure they know the priorities of what they are assigned.
Putting people in the wrong seat on your company “bus”. Unused abilities can leave employees feeling they got duped in the interview. Make sure the job description clearly outlines the job and has the KEY accountabilities.
Assigning boring or overly easy tasks. Make sure you know their passions and ensure you have a roadmap outlining how they will fulfill them.
Failing to create a safe culture where employees are able to take risks and even make mistakes which will allow them to grow.
Turnover is extremely costly and damages morale and productivity. Make sure you actually focus on your human capital. Without quality employees, you are not going to achieve your company goals.
