Hi Bernd,

Certainly it isn't always dissatisfaction that causes employers to move on. Sometimes it's a better opportunity. What can you do? I do think it's a good idea to find out if there is another reason, however. Does this happen regularly to you? Are they really leaving for a better position or are they simply taking any position available to get out of your company? I think these are some of the key questions you must answer first to figure out whether further soul searching is necessary.

Heather,

You are certainly right: If you have people leaving regularly, chances are high that they are not just leaving for a better position but that they just want to get out of your company. You need to address that problem. Thanks for your good comment.

When an employee leaves his job, a lot of pressure and added work is placed on his employer. It's always a challenging time when an employee quits. There are legal issues to consider, productivity lapses to factor in and the costs of hiring and training a new employee to think about. Thanks for sharing.

That's true, but the most important question the employer should ask: Why did the employee leave. If the employer does not dig deep into this question, he might have the same problem again quite soon...
