Employee study: 30 percent plan to quit soon
As a recent study by the auditor Deloitte has found,
30 percent of younger employees (born 1983 to 2002)

Four signs reveal whether employees want to quit
Patrick Cournoyer is the head of innovation at Peakon, a company that specializes in employee surveys.
He claims that companies can
predict layoffs nine months in advance
.
But how is that possible?
In an interview with HR software provider Personio, he reveals which signals bosses should watch out for:
1. Bad ratings
If you give a bad rating, you quit three times faster, says Cournoyer.
Therefore, HR managers and bosses should listen carefully as soon as the recommendation rate for the company among employees drops.
2. Loyalty decreases
"How quickly would an employee quit, would he or she get an offer from another company?" According to the expert, this is an important indicator that is closely linked to loyalty to the company.
3. Nobody listens to employees
According to Cournoyer, the opinion, feelings and voice of employees are more important than ever.
This change has accelerated even further due to the Corona crisis.
So if you want to prevent employees from quitting, you absolutely have to listen to them and bring their views into the company.
4. No more development possible
Your employee complains about a lack of development opportunities in the company?
This could also indicate an imminent termination.

However, if you recognize these signs in your team, you can still avert a termination in many cases.
On the one hand, Cournoyer recommends
development plans for each individual employee
, which are discussed monthly.
“When [employees] feel that their development is a priority for the company, and especially for their line manager, it encourages them to stay and invest in the company,” says the expert.
Another tip:
Encourage your employees to provide feedback
and share their concerns and concerns.
This is especially important now in the Corona crisis, where the team often works across many locations, be it in the home office or in the office.
Cournoyer explains that employees would feel more connected to the company if their voice was heard.
And ideally, that will ensure that they stay with the company.
