Why More Employees Are Considering Leaving Their Companies [INFOGRAPHIC]

I want to share an informative but somewhat dated Infographic published by LinkedIn on a critical topic now that the economy is picking up and good employees are looking for greener grass.

As you can see, the top reason employees say they’ll jump ship (better compensation/benefits) and the top reason they actually jumped ship (greater opportunities for advancement) differ. Perhaps it has created a misconception among employers that has prevented them from developing internal mobility (a.k.a. mobility and talent mobility) programs that advance their employees’ careers, and as a result, increased preventable turnover? Wrong.

In mid-January, I attended the annual Profiles International World Conference held in San Antonio, Texas along with over 300 members of the global team of Strategic Business Partners, company executives & H.R. professionals.  We deepened our knowledge of how businesses and organizations are achieving significant results from using our talent assessment, management and development programs. One of our keynote speakers zeroed in the power of people who know who they are and show these strengths in their business and personal relationships. As of last year, our team has assessed over 45 million people and 40,000 companies, but with a new year comes new opportunities to help even more companies and organizations.
