Why your best employees are leaving

Employers around the globe are all making the same mistake, and it's resulting in their best employees leaving. 

That is according to research published in the latest issue of The Harvard Business Review. The researchers revealed that the most knowledgeable and specialised employees tend to leave for the same reason; they are asked to do too much work that their supervisors don’t necessarily see.  

Their ever-expanding workload results in high productivity, but it eventually burns them out.

Rob Cross is a Professor of Commerce at the University of Virginia, and one of the three authors behind the study.
