Facebook | HR team reveals what causes employee resignations

Employees may quit their jobs for a number of reasons. For example, they may find their current job too stressful or feel their hours are too long, while others may want to improve their work-life balance.

Some even leave their jobs due to who their manager is and how they operate, however, according to Facebook’s HR and People Growth team, the reason why employees throw in the towel can be summed up in three words: It’s the job.

The team at the social media giant tracked why their staff were leaving, reports Inc, which found that the tasks and responsibilities were behind why people chose to resign.

It discovered that staff were generally happy with their bosses and how they worked, meaning managers can play a huge part in retaining staff and helping to avoid receiving a resignation letter.
