The employee resigned to stir-fry the boss

Today, I learned that a good friend of mine has resigned. He works in a well-known technology company and many people want to sharpen his head to enter this company. I asked him why his expected answer may be "I need more challenges", or "this position cannot accommodate me, and I need more space for development ", but he said, "I am fed up with my boss ".

 

He reminds me of all the people who resigned just because they couldn't stand the boss. The work is exciting and the team is very harmonious, but the boss (manager) is intolerable. In this case, what you can see is the continuous loss of good employees, and all the management is sitting in front of the conference table trying to find out the crux of the brain drain and think about how to retain employees.

 

Retaining talents is a real problem for all managers. The key to retaining a good employee is not especially about the salary provided by the boss or how much/What kind of work the boss provides, but also the management method of the manager, and the feelings of employees working under such managers. Do employees feel their own values in the team? Does the boss give timely feedback on their demands? Do they feel the support and help from their superiors as the person in charge of a team or company?

 

Abraham Maslow is an American psychologist. His most known contribution is the creation of a hierarchy of needs theory, which you can see below.

Enterprise managers have the ability to influence the layer-3 needs in this hierarchy-security, love, sense of belonging, and respect. In a workspace, these three levels of requirements represent three different things. The first layer-security refers to work security, career development, and health care. What do employees feel about their work? Are they worried about the risk of layoffs every day in a depressed atmosphere? Do they feel that the boss cares about their health just like they do their jobs?

 

The next layer is love and sense of belonging. People want to be different and be part of an important thing. As a boss, how do you arrange tasks, instruct employees, and communicate with them? Does it show how much you attach importance to their performance. This is the responsibility of the boss. It is the responsibility of the boss to express to employees that their work efforts have made a difference and they are part of the company's greater prospects. One bad thing for an employee is that they think they are just a screw in a machine.

 

The last layer is respected. Trusted and respected.

 

One important thing about enterprise management is how to make employees feel positive about their work, colleagues, and managers. It is very important for employees to be respected in the office. It may lead to a good employee's move and stay. Providing necessary training and guidance to give employees the right life/work skills is a great way to inspire their confidence. Investing in employees and providing their skills is good for the company and employees. Zig ziglar once said that there is only one thing worse than training employees, training employees, and then leaving. That is, you don't train them or train them, but they still stay.

 

A professor at Florida State University and two of his doctoral students conducted a survey focusing on the negative effects of managers/bosses who do not respect people and have poor abilities. They investigated 700 people working in different positions and asked their views on the boss, superiors, and leaders.

 

This study reveals the following results:

39%: The boss does not keep his promise.

37%: the boss will not be rewarded for the reward.

31%: The boss treats Employees with "cold processing ".

27%: the superior Manager/boss speaks bad things in front of other employees and managers.

24%: The boss infringes on their privacy.

23%: The boss uses blaming others to conceal his mistakes or embarrassment.

These questions can be considered as a good checklist to check how the boss manages employees, because the employee resigned not because of the company, but because of the manager or the boss!
