Do you feel like your employees are disappearing faster than canapés at a corporate event? You're not alone. High employee turnover has become a real headache for modern businesses. Between the loss of valuable skills, increased stress for remaining teams, and the skyrocketing cost of recruitment, this talent drain threatens both productivity and company culture. But don’t worry—solutions exist!


Why So Many Departures? Why Are Your Best People Leaving?


1. Lack of Clear Vision
If your employees don’t have a clear idea of their future within the company, they’ll quickly lose motivation. Imagine being in an escape room with no clues… frustrating, right?

2. Uninspiring Leadership
A manager who rules with an iron fist but provides no direction or recognition? Beware—your employees didn’t sign up to be extras in a corporate tragedy. They want inspiration, constructive feedback, and, most importantly, to feel valued.

3. A Work Environment Worthy of a Reality Show
Unresolved conflicts, excessive workloads, lack of appreciation… A toxic work environment can turn your best talent into sprinters heading for the exit.

4. Lack of Structure and Clear Processes
Employees need a well-defined framework. A chaotic organisation can quickly make them question their future in the company.


The Consequences of Turnover: A Very Real Cost


Frequent departures don’t just create gaps in your organisational chart—they also drain your budget! Here are some numbers to make your head spin:

✔Replacing an employee can cost 50% to 200% of their annual salary (recruitment, onboarding, training...).
✔Increased workload for remaining employees leads to a 30% drop in productivity.
✔A poor employer brand can reduce quality job applications by 50%.

In short, every departure is a loss of skills, motivation, and money. But fear not—here’s how to turn things around!
