Effective methods for detecting early signs of attrition include regular engagement surveys, monitoring work patterns, tracking performance metrics, and analysing discussions/meetings. Companies should engage in open communication, offer career development opportunities, consider flexible work arrangements, provide recognition/rewards, mentor, maintain competitive/ comparable compensation, plan the replacement, remind them of their impact, and offer support during their transition when a high-performing team member shows signs of leaving. Retaining valued employees necessitates proactive efforts and the creation of a growth-friendly environment.
