Resignation sent. Notice period begins. ⏳
A few hours later, Arjun gets a meeting invite from his manager:
"Arjun, what can we do? If it’s about money, we can adjust your salary."
A kind offer—but money wasn’t the issue.
Two days later, the CEO calls:
"Arjun, if the work isn’t exciting, we can change your role."
Again, not the real problem.
Here’s the kicker: Retention isn’t about last-minute counteroffers.
It’s about understanding what your best people need—support, growth, and fulfillment—long before they consider leaving.
Proactive care > Reactive fixes. Every time.
