The impact felt when an employee leaves is exacerbated
when labor markets are tight. Leaders at all levels in the
organization need to be cognizant of the message their
actions send to employees when someone leaves.
“Leaders are always being watched. How the leadership reacts
when someone leaves is going to impact how everyone else reacts,”
said Marissa Levin, co-founder of Successful Culture International,
and a culture and leadership expert.
“If they are transparent, honest and don’t act like the sky is
falling, they acknowledge the loss, but pivot quickly to fill that
gap, employees will take that cue, and things will go on without a
glitch,” she said.
