"The results of the study show that not only financial conditions, but also non-material aspects of work remain a key factor in staff turnover. Employees leave if they don't see prospects, feel constantly overwhelmed, or don't receive feedback from management. This indicates the need for an integrated approach to staff retention: it is important not only to offer competitive salaries, but also to form an understandable development system, take care of work—life balance, and build open and trusting relationships within the team," said Anastasia Borovskaya, director of the Russian School of Management.

She noted that companies that regularly analyze the reasons for layoffs receive important information about internal problems that can be quickly addressed.
