In fact, in many cases the repercussions of presenting a counter offer can cause further detriment to your team. Here are just a few reasons why:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It can demonstrate to employees that they have to threaten to leave in order to be compensated better.<\/li>\n<li>Instead of working towards addressing the real issue of why the employee is choosing to leave the organization, you are asking them to instead take a pay increase in lieu of a resolution.<\/li>\n<li>The employee may experience rapport loss with co-workers if they become aware of the situation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>Results show that a staggering 90% of employees who accept a counter offer, leave the organization within one year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Undoubtedly, there is a better solution. Consider a thorough exit interview process. The exit interview process should be far more than having the employee complete a survey. The results should be tracked by department, by category, and a team of leaders should look for common trends and solutions. Using this information wisely can significantly reduce your turnover as an organization.<\/p>\n<p><em>Want to learn more about how you can gain access to Trillium\u2019s national network of top level talent?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/trilliumstaffing.com\/contact\/\">Contact<\/a>\u00a0us today!
