Why quitting from your job?

 In the last 6 months, there are 4 out of 18 people resigning from my department. In average, 1 person resigned every 1.5 month. Is it normal? Or is there something terribly wrong?

Following is my observation. The reasons they choose to work in the new company or to open his/her own business are:
1. Higher salary
2. Better benefits (health care, travel allowance, etc)
3. Flexible time and higher income

In summary, the reason of resigning from your job is MONEY.

There are so many self-help book about motivation at work that says money is not the real motivation. True! Our productivity at work depends on many factors other than money: the people, work environment, company's culture, job significance, career advancement, appreciation, etc. Our performance can be high or low based on those factors. But, what makes people decide to stay or leave is back to its root: monetary factor.

We never know what the new company's environment and culture would be like other than what is being said by the interviewer. Thus, our decision is made based on tangible factors.

For bosses out there, it is important to create a conducive work environment by providing intangible benefits. However, reviewing tangible benefit is no less important than the previous one.
