href=\"https:\/\/www.pwc.com\/gx\/en\/issues\/workforce\/hopes-and-fears.html\"> recent study by PWC<\/a> states that more than one-quarter of employees studied are extremely likely to switch employers in the next 12 months.\n\nThere\u2019s no worse feeling for a manager than being blindsided by an employee\u2019s resignation. One day, you\u2019re kicking goals together and <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/professional-development-plan-template\/\">planning for the future<\/a>. Next, they\u2019re organising a mysterious meeting and wishing you \u2018all the best for the future\u2019. What went wrong?\n\nAn unsatisfied employee can be hard to spot, but your team member may be giving off warning signs. With the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/employee-movement-and-retention-report\/\">Great Resignation<\/a> phenomenon generating more flight risk employees than ever, it\u2019s extremely important to recognise the tell-tale signals of an employee that may have one foot out the door and what you can do to keep them under your roof.\n<h2 id=\"what-is-a-flight-risk-employee\">What is a \u2018flight risk\u2019 employee?<\/h2>\nA \u2018flight risk\u2019 employee is one that may be preparing to leave your business. They may be <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/solutions\/employee-engagement-software\/\">feeling disengaged<\/a> or curious about another opportunity, which might have caused them to start thinking about alternative options.\n\nFlight risk employees may be in the process of re-evaluating their decision to stay within the company and are constantly assessing other companies for job opportunities.\n\nUnfortunately, flight risk employees are bad news for any business. Their actions have the possibility of <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/reduce-staff-turnover\/\">impacting turnover rates<\/a> and disrupting the team dynamic.\n\nThe more flight risk employees a business has, the more money it will lose in turnover costs and lost productivity. The longer it takes to get someone new on board to replace a departed flight risk, the more a business\u2019s bottom line takes a hit.\n<h2 id=\"why-would-an-employee-become-a-flight-risk\">Why would an employee become a flight risk?<\/h2>\nWhile there aren\u2019t always justifiable reasons for at-risk employees, the common reasons could be due to pay differences, poor employee satisfaction, or because they are working through a personal problem.\n\nFlight risk employees may also look for a company that offers a better work-life balance or a higher salary. Or, many employees could be simply wondering if the grass really is greener on the other side.\n\nHere are some reasons why top-performing employees choose to leave a company:\n<h3 id=\"1-going-through-a-major-life-change\">1. Going through a major life change<\/h3>\nThere are any number of big life events that can cause employees to re-evaluate their place in an organisation.\n\nTake general life milestones like; moving, becoming a parent, discovering a new passion or moving towards retirement. Taking on additional caring responsibilities or adjusting to remote working, there are a lot of changes to absorb in an already overwhelming period.\n\nThese personal events can change employee perspectives and priorities, especially when it comes to working.\n\nOur <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/wellness-at-work-report\/\">Wellness at Work Report<\/a> found that workers were feeling the effects of burnout; 54% agreed that they felt a sense of extreme fatigue.\n<h3 id=\"2-feeling-stuck-in-their-job\">2. Feeling stuck in their job<\/h3>\nHave you ever been in a role which felt like a dead end? There might be nothing left to learn, a lack of <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/career-progression-plan-template\/\">development opportunities<\/a> and no new projects to get stuck into; it\u2019s easy to fall into a working rut. You can quickly feel like you\u2019ve stepped onto the hamster wheel.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Two hamsters running in a green spinning wheel, wobbling as they move.\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5613 size-full\" height=\"268\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/giphy-14.gif\" width=\"480\"\/>\n\nHumans, as a general rule, like to feel like we\u2019re always progressing. There\u2019s nothing that\u2019s more demotivating than feeling like you\u2019re out of options and falling into a monotonous day-to-day.\n<h3 id=\"3-bigger-and-better-offers-from-other-companies\">3. Bigger and better offers from other companies<\/h3>\nIf you\u2019ve noticed a few LinkedIn InMail\u2019s in your inbox lately, there\u2019s a very high chance that your team members have too.\n\nRecruiters are working overtime to secure new talent. There\u2019s every chance that your employees are being poached by another great company, and they may be saying all the right things to get your employee excited about their opportunity.\n\nRecruiters can be very convincing. If your employee is feeling even slightly unsatisfied in their current role, they might be open to making the switch \u2013 especially when there is a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/compensation-conversations\/\">pay gap<\/a> involved.\n<h3 id=\"4-increased-negativity\">4. Increased negativity<\/h3>\nOur <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/wellness-at-work-report\/\">research<\/a> shows that over half of the workforce has felt a sense of burnout in recent times. This feeling of intense fatigue can really hinder motivation and make teamwork more challenging.\n\nIt\u2019s a vicious cycle. The more an employee feels burnt out, the more likely they are to be overwhelmed with negativity, which can be extremely contagious to others. They say that one bad apple can spoil the bunch, and in this case, the bunch is the rest of your team.\n\nThis is why we often see waves of turnover; bad vibes catch on quickly and spread like wildfire.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Animated dog sitting in a room on fire\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6588\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ezgif.com-gif-maker-10.gif\" style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\" width=\"480\"\/>\n<h3 id=\"5-a-perception-of-low-pay\">5. A perception of low pay<\/h3>\nWhen was the last time you reviewed your employees\u2019 salaries?\n\nThere are more resources than ever for your team to examine and benchmark market salary packages for their roles and industry. We\u2019re also seeing major rates of inflation and wage growth is far from keeping up with the rising cost of living.\n\nThese three big factors should have you thinking about your team\u2019s salaries.\n<ul>\n<li>When was the last time they had a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/compensation-conversations\/\">salary review<\/a>?<\/li>\n<li>What does the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/performance-review-guide\/\">employee&#8217;s performance appraisal<\/a> look like?<\/li>\n<li>Does their remuneration package seem on par with their current performance or in line with other roles in the same position out there?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOur survey found that only <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/wellness-at-work-report\/\">39% of employees are comfortable discussing their finances with their managers<\/a>. There\u2019s a good chance they will never come to you for a conversation about being paid fairly, they may just jump ship instead.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Michael Scott saying 'We want you back'\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5612\" height=\"358\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ezgif.com-gif-maker-2.gif\" style=\"font-size: 16px;\" width=\"480\"\/>\n\nDon\u2019t let your high achievers go over a salary conversation that didn\u2019t happen.\n<h3 id=\"6-a-change-in-management\">6. A change in management<\/h3>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/blog\/10-reasons-employees-resign\/\">Glassdoor\u2019s top 10<\/a> reasons why employees resign reveals that a change in the organisation structure or in management can wreak havoc on turnover rates. This usually falls to a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/communication-in-the-workplace\/\">lack of proper communication<\/a> and consideration for how the employee will be affected.\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/guide-to-change-management\/\">Change management<\/a> can be done, and it can be done well \u2013 or not so well. If you\u2019re planning any major upheaval within the organisation, it\u2019s important that employees have a transparent understanding of what changes are being made and why.\n\nIt\u2019s critical to map this out and have a game plan for the proposed changes to keep your staff feeling supported. If done poorly, this is where you\u2019ll see your top players head for the door.\n\n<strong><em>Read more: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/how-to-deal-with-bad-managers\/\"><strong><em>Dealing with bad managers in your organisation<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\n<h3 id=\"7-theyre-a-job-jumper\">7.

They\u2019re always looking for more, and they\u2019ve got their eyes on greener pastures.\n\nIf you have a feeling this might be the case during the hiring process, be sure to ask honest questions about their job movement and conduct <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/reference-check\/\">thorough reference checks<\/a>.\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-spot-flight-risk-employees\">How to spot flight risk employees<\/h2>\nNow we understand their motivations, how can we identify team members who are feeling this way?\n\nHere are the signs and signals to identify flight risk employees:\n<h3 id=\"lack-of-employee-engagement\">Lack of employee engagement<\/h3>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/employee-engagement-guide\/\">When employees are engaged<\/a>, they feel motivated and have a sense of purpose around the work that they do. They actively contribute to discussions and aren\u2019t afraid to share their ideas in brainstorming sessions.\n\nDisengaged employees would do the opposite. It might be tough to get a sense of motivation, they may have a lack of understanding of why they are doing a certain task. They lack purpose and as a result, lack direction.\n\nIf your team member frequently keeps their camera and mic off, fails to contribute during discussions and seems to have lost interest in their tasks \u2013 it\u2019s highly likely that their employee engagement has dropped.\n\nThey may no longer be excited about the work that they are doing, and they may have one foot out the door already.\n\n<strong><em>Read more: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/how-to-coach-employees-in-the-workplace\/\"><strong><em>Why workplace coaching is essential to engaged employees<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\n<h3 id=\"constant-absence\">Constant absence<\/h3>\nEverybody will need a sick or mental health day every once in a while, and annual leave should be actively encouraged.\n\nHowever, if your employee is often absent, leaving early without justification or taking really long lunches on a regular basis \u2013 it could signal that their mind is on other opportunities.\n\n<strong><em>Read more: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/running-effective-11s-bundle\/\"><strong><em>How to run effective 1:1s<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\n<h3 id=\"missing-deadlines-or-tasks\">Missing deadlines or tasks<\/h3>\nThere are plenty of good reasons for missing deadlines or dropping the ball on tasks \u2013 it happens to everybody.\n\nAs it is with <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/employee-absenteeism\/\">employee absences<\/a>, it\u2019s all about looking for trends. Do they have justified reasons for a drop in quality of work? Have they changed roles or taken on new projects that they may be adjusting to?\n\nThey may just need additional support. If this is the case, it\u2019s also worth having a conversation about how they\u2019re coping mentally and providing details about your company\u2019s employee assistance program.\n\nHowever, if they no longer seem to care about missing deadlines or aren\u2019t interested in tasks that are being delegated to them, it could be a sign that their work is no longer working for them.\n\n<strong><em>Read more: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/performance-improvement-plan-template\/\"><strong><em>Use a performance improvement plan to get them back on track<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\n<h3 id=\"additional-push-back\">Additional push-back<\/h3>\nFielding more push-back than usual from your team can be a surprise, but you should always listen carefully.\n\nA flight risk employee may be trying harder to improve their situation before they make a move to another company.

Recognition spurs motivation, loyalty and team morale.\n\nPut yourself in the shoes of a potential flight risk employee; do you really want to switch jobs when you feel nurtured and appreciated in your current role? It can make the uncertainty of a new team culture at a different job much less appealing.\n\nAs a leader, think about the full spectrum of recognition you have to give.\n\nFrom a personal thank you message appreciating their effort to showing your recognition publicly on a company feed (like on the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/solutions\/performance-management-software\/\">91±¬ΑΟ app<\/a>), right through to taking them out for a celebration lunch.
