Do This if You Want Your New Hires To Leave.

​Have you ever been promised one thing but gotten something completely different?
 
It’s not a nice feeling, and it leaves you distrusting the person, who gave you their word.
 
It’s jarring too, and comparable to shift shock – the jolt you may feel when the transmission in your car changes gear.
 
Shift Shock is also the term recently coined by the CEO of The Muse, to describe what people feel when they change jobs, only to learn that the position or company is nothing like what was promised.
 
They surveyed more than 2,500 respondents earlier this year:
 
🚩 Shockingly 72% said they’ve experienced Shift Shock.
 
Unfortunately, it’s nothing new for a candidate to be hired for a specific role, only to find that the reality of the position or organization is quite different to what was discussed.
 
Why do companies do this?

And COVID has majorly shifted priorities around how people live and work, so a great culture has never been more important.
 
Plus, it’s not like the new hire isn’t going to quickly realize that things aren’t as promised.
 
Bottom line, employees simply are not prepared to put up with things they may have in the past.
 
And they will leave.

Leaving the organization to start the hiring process all over again.
 
✅ Bottom line, organizations do themselves no favors by not being truthful in their postings and interviewing.
 
Instead, engage employees and build a great culture, and scrupulously practice “truth in advertising”.
 
The result: People will stay longer, and great candidates will be attracted to your organization.
