Answer the questions:
1. What is the fifth reason why employees quit?
2. Why do employers underpay their workers?
3. What kind of benefits could help?
Reason #5 why your good employees are leaving is the pay is not fair (не
честно) or reasonable (обоснованно). Now this is self-explanatory (говорит
само за себя). But if you know that you are underpaying (недоплачиваете)
your employees then you can expect that turnover (текучесть/ротация) is
going to happen. Unless you have already planned for this and implemented
benefits (выгоду, которую работники могут извлечь) that are going to go
above and beyond (сделают всё возможное) what the pay allows
(позволит). So, for example, additional vacation, employee-centered events
(события/мероприятия), purposeful (целенаправленное) work training,
anything that is going to get them to stay engaged (остаться вовлечёнными)
and compelled (будут вынуждены) to stay longer at the organization is going
to help.
