They avoid doing social interactions.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If a usually outgoing or vocal worker is now distant and is uncharacteristically silent, chances are he\/she is contemplating on leaving. \u00a0The employee begins to spend less time with colleagues and tries to avoid interacting with the boss as much as possible. A change in your employee\u2019s social habits is a good warning sign.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_They_show_less_interest_in_work_related_discussions\"><\/span><strong>2. They show less interest in work <\/strong><strong>related discussions.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Offering fewer contributions than usual during\u00a0meetings is a signal that your employee maybe ready to leave the ship. A decline in participation in discussions is a tell tale sign that they might be thinking that their ideas and feedback could be better used elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_No_longer_punctual_as_usual\"><\/span><strong>3. No longer punctual as usual. <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If\u00a0an employee constantly comes in late and is going home earlier than usual, shows that he\/she is not looking forward to working anymore and is planning on quitting soon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_They_start_taking_more_time_off_from_work\"><\/span><strong>4. They start taking more time off from work. <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If they begin calling in sick more often or are using up their vacation leave periodically might mean they are no longer interested in doing work or probably using their time off looking for other employment options.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_They_no_longer_go_beyond_the_call_of_duty\"><\/span><strong>5. They no longer go beyond the call of duty. <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Willingly taking on challenges is what separates good employees from great ones. So if a usual go-getter personality becomes\u00a0more passive, chances are they are tired and ready to move on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_you_intervene\"><\/span><strong>Should you intervene?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The last thing you want to do is to jump into conclusions and accuse your employee of wanting to jump ship. If it turns out to be untrue, then that puts a strain in your working relationship. Instead, try to open up a dialogue and find out what\u2019s going on so you can better address the situation. Show that you are actually concerned for their wellbeing and not just their working habits. If the employee ultimately ends up quitting despite your best efforts, then it is best to always be prepared so both parties will have a smooth transition.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sign_up_on_Kalibrr_and_start_hiring_better_today_You_can_also_follow_us_on_Facebook_for_more_business_and_recruiter_advice\"><\/span><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kalibrr.com\/employers?utm_source=b2b-blog&amp;utm_medium=in-text&amp;utm_content=sign-up-text&amp;utm_campaign=social-content\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sign up on Kalibrr<\/a><\/strong> and start hiring better today!
