4 warning signs that your workers might quit

Published 2 Min Read

Has your star employee suddenly lost their shine? It might be a sign they are ready to start over someplace new.

There are a number of reasons why employees decide to leave their current work environments, including burnout, lack of career growth, bad managers, and family responsibilities — like caregiving — that make it difficult to maintain a regular 9-to-5 schedule.

Some things to watch out for here include a decline in the quality of the employee’s work, Simon says, and an unwillingness to commit to long-term projects or meet deadlines.

When an employee is acting like less of a team player by being less sociable and offering minimal participation during meetings, it could mean they are getting ready to jump ship, Simon says.
