Background and Discussion:
A Pew Research Center survey found that most workers who quit a job in 2021 say low pay (63%), no opportunities for advancement (63%) and feeling disrespected at work (57%) were reasons why they quit. At least a third say each of these were major reasons why they left. A 2022 Flexjobs study survey of workers gave the following five top reasons for wanting to quit.
* Toxic company culture (62%)
* Low salary (59%)
* Poor management (56%)
* lack of healthy work-life boundaries (49%)
* Not allowing remote work (43%)
The City of Houston recently conducted a citywide employee survey to measure the job satisfaction of its employees.

Use data to develop strategies for employee retention.
