o Survey: 25% of CFOs Have Lost Good Employees Because of Pay
Menlo Park, Calif. -- One in four CFOs have lost good employees in the past year to jobs that paid more, according to new research from Menlo Park-based staffing firm Robert Half. The findings come on the heels of previous research by the firm that found salary was the top reason people quit their jobs. "Highly skilled professionals have options in the current hiring environment," said Paul McDonald, senior executive director at Robert Half. "To attract and retain employees, businesses must proactively benchmark salaries and ensure they are offering competitive pay. If a manager can't recall the last time wages were evaluated, it's probably been too long." Limited opportunities for advancement and unhappiness with management also were among the top reasons for employees leaving.
