There are times when HR knows a resignation could have been prevented months earlier with a simple conversation. By the time it reaches HR formally, it’s already too late.
Do organizations react to attrition instead of preventing it?

Yeah, unfortunately it’s a double edged sword and leadership plays a MASSIVE part in how this is managed since HR isn’t always the decision maker even if we need to deliver the news.

I used to flag issues and some managers were proactive - check-in calls, mentoring, mental health checks, etc. Other managers - didn’t care because they didn’t like the person, wanted them to quit anyways or flat out didn’t care because it didn’t generate revenue.

Personally - I’ve always acted to avoid it, but as I’m sure you know. Once someone is disengaged it’s hard to get them back, and when they have another offer it’s even harder to keep them. But also.. why all of a sudden does the company care that you’re resigning and NOW they want to pay you more?? Because your role is critical and they don’t have a replacement or it will impact revenue or they relied on you to plug all the gaps - and only now do they realize the value.

The unfortunate reality is the business acts to prevent it if they want to - but it’s not surprising when they don’t. Good culture treats everyone equally, but poor culture or management will apply rules and policies how they wish, where they wish and to who they wish.

Which is another reason why HR is an important puzzle piece! 🧩

I have seen this happen too often. By the time it reaches HR, it is already too late. I think most organisations react instead of preventing.

I go with this.

I'm currently looking at two HRBP roles at two different titles/salary bands. This would at a large banking company located in NYC.

I have a friend that's a VP at JPM and has about the same YOE as me (shes not in HR). I have about 15 YOE but about 10 yrs HR YOE and 3 HRBP YOE.

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers.

So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
