If Your Star Employee Decides to Leave, Support Them

If Your Star Employee Decides to Leave, Support Them
No manager wants to lose a valued employee, but should you convince them to stay if they want to leave? If the person hasn’t already accepted an outside offer, try to find out more information. Take them out to coffee and ask about their concerns and hopes for the future. Also ask whether the employee is open to staying at the company, and what they would need to do so — more money, more career opportunities, better work-life balance? What aren’t they getting enough of in their current role and career path? There may be a solution the person hasn’t thought of. Offer what you can, within reason. On the other hand, if the employee is set on leaving, let them go gracefully. Congratulate them on the new job, and send them off on a positive note. After all, someday the person might be in a position to recommend (or not) your organization to future applicants.
