Disloyal employees may have good reason for grudges

You can’t take your employees for granted, even in today’s labor market. Common mistakes can send workers packing. Take a look to see if you’re guilty of fostering employee discontent: 

• No regular training. Good employees know they need to keep learning and improving their skills. Those who stick around appreciate companies that do more than encourage training, but regularly provide it. But we’re not talking just about job-related training; non-business learning opportunities such as foreign language or computer classes are key to good productivity and loyalty. 

• No career plan for employees. Good managers retain good workers by helping them set long-term goals. If the manager can help an employee meet those goals, they foster employee loyalty.
