The top reason good people leave their jobs is clear and simple.
They don’t feel appreciated.
We’ve all been there. You give your best effort, invest extra hours, and deliver outstanding results. Yet your manager overlooks it or claims your achievements as their own.
No wonder talented people disengage and move on.
But the good news? Showing genuine appreciation is free and simple.
Here’s how easy it can be:
• Regular one-to-one catch-ups with your team.
• Saying a sincere “thank you” regularly.
• Recognising achievements openly in meetings.
• Sending a quick message to acknowledge hard work.
• Encouraging honest feedback and genuinely acting upon it.
Small gestures make a huge difference.
People aren’t machines or interchangeable parts. They’re humans who thrive on respect and kindness.
