While all issues mentioned below are best avoided, companies need to go beyond to find out what their employees need and start delivering on it.
Investing in your employees first will build a solid reputation in the marketplace that will attract the best talent.

85% of all Employees are dissatisfied with their jobs all over the world. (State of Global Workplace)
This resolves in Trillions in loss of productivity every year and twice as much in cost of replacing employees especially high performers who often deliver 400% in productivity.
Elements for thought:
The Cost of Poor Communication:
One of the elements that contribute to unhappy employees is poor communication, where an assumption is made that everyone knows exactly what they are supposed to do.
Lack of Training
There is also a lack of training where a rulebook rarely suffices to inform employees of their job. If there is no development plan for employees, they are most likely to leave.
Micromanagement
Nobody likes a manager who constantly hovers over their shoulder or having to report on their work every hour. A report by Career Addicts shows us that 79% of the respondents were micromanaged and 69% resulted in switching companies. This just shows that people who are micromanaged tend to be demotivated and do not perform at their full potential.
