About this episode
We all know TJ Lavin hates quitters.
But real life isn’t “The Challenge.” And sometimes, quitting is the only option when you’re burnt-out, stressed out, unacknowledged, and at your wit’s end.
So what leads employees to quit? More importantly, what’s the one thing a company could do to cause someone to hand in their two weeks notice without pause?
This past season, I’ve asked each of my guests one simple question to find the root cause of employee dissatisfaction— “What would cause you to quit?”
And in this episode, we’re taking a look at the best answers my all-star roster of HR experts had to give. From being unacknowledged to feeling like you’re stuck at a dead-end job, you don’t want to miss out on these red-flag warning signs.
