How Can I Convince an Employee to Stay When They Won't Share Why They're Leaving?

Hi all,

I am Raj, working as an Associate in the Human Resource department. I would like to know how to prevent an employee from resigning. I understand that there may be various reasons for an employee to resign, but I want to know how I should approach a specific employee and convince them to stay.

For example, if an employee does not want to share the exact reason for resigning, what should I do?

Employee Attrition: Problem or Curiosity?

Is employee attrition a problem in your company, or have you raised the query out of curiosity? If employee attrition has increased, the first thing that needs to be done is an "Employee Attrition Analysis." Have you done that?

Secondly, you could have checked this forum before raising this query. Look at the right sidebar, and you will find posts about attrition analysis. Earlier, I had given an exhaustive reply about attrition analysis. Check the following link to refer to it: https://www.citehr.com/519562-employ...ml#post2211229

Earlier, there was a report in the Times of India on why employees quit their companies. Click the following link to refer to it: Bosses, not money, make staff stick to company - Times of India

Go through the above links, do the attrition analysis, and come back to this forum with your action plan to contain the attrition. Last but not least, what about your management? Are they worried about employee attrition? Will you get support from them to retain employees?

Thanks,
Dinesh Divekar

First of all, you should find out what the reason is for people resigning, considering the employee's point of view. You can arrange a meeting, distribute questionnaires, or obtain feedback in written or oral form from employees to come up with better solutions that benefit both parties.

Ensure there is a single line break between paragraphs to improve readability.

Take business survey by conducting exit interviews using forms that contain various questionnaires. This will provide you with a clear understanding of the main reasons why employees are resigning and leaving their jobs. Compare this information with what other competitors are doing to retain their employees.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.
