How to Recognize the Subtle Signs and Act Before It’s Too Late
By Leigh Branham
THE 7 HIDDEN REASONS EMPLOYEES LEAVE
THE SUMMARY IN BRIEF
In The 7 Hidden Reasons Employees Leave, employee-retention expert Leigh Branham knocks down the wall that separates employee from employer — and even management from senior leadership — in an effort to forge an open discussion on employee disengagement and what organizations need to recognize and actively pursue in order to retain their best and brightest people. Using a voluminous amount of interview and survey data, Branham isolates each reason, tells companies what to look for, and translates the needs and desires of employers and employees into a common language, enabling companies and their most valued human resources to better understand one another.
