Many think its because of salary, but a recent survey made by naukri.com indicates its just recognition and appreciation for hard work.

If we see that there are some basic issues like inequitable salary, disagreement with the manager or boss, or sometimes personal family problems. These are basic factors that may lead a candidate to seek a change. There is a lesser chance of employee favoritism in such cases, which often occur when credit is taken by another person.

Good Morning....

This question is very interesting and tough too. According to my point of view:

1) If a person/employee is in a lower position (junior/medium level), then he/she mainly looks for monetary benefits and the brand name of the employer (MNC). These would be the main reasons to quit a job.

2) If an employee is in a higher/senior level, then he mainly focuses on career growth and development. So, that would be the reason to quit a job and look for advanced opportunities.

Thank You, Sangeeta Arun

Nowadays, employees are more worried about 'Treatment Issue' and 'Differed Job Profiles' rather than salary issues. Basically, leaders should be more attentive with regard to their team members, but unfortunately, most of the leaders are ignoring it. This also gives bad market branding to the organization.

Of course, disparity, internal politics, favoritism are the other causes for the high attrition.

Dear all,

In my observation, the reasons are as follows:

1) Junior/middle level - salary, brand.
2) Middle/senior level - brand, career growth opportunities.
3) For all levels, very important aspects are organizational culture and working atmosphere within the group.
