The Corporate Leavers Survey shows that each year more than 2 million professionals and managers leave their jobs because of cumulative small comments, whispered jokes and not-so-funny emails. The Survey shows that unfairness costs U.S. employers $64 billion on an annual basis — a price tag nearly equivalent to the 2006 combined revenues of Google, Amazon, Goldman Sachs and Starbucks.
The Survey takes an in-depth look at: (1) the effect of unfairness upon an employee's decision to leave their employer, (2) the specific behaviors which cause employees to leave, (3) the financial costs to employers including reputation costs amongst prospective future employees and prospective clients and (4) what employers could have done to keep employees.
