A few months ago, I asked a young manager why she left a well-known tech firm after just 18 months.
Her answer was simple: “I stopped learning, and nobody noticed.”
That sentence captures the silent truth about retention today — people don’t leave because of salary; they leave because of stagnation and invisibility.
Technology has done something remarkable for HR — it has made the invisible visible.
