It’s what we’re all supposed to be striving for at work: the promotion. The holy grail of employment. However, according to ADP research, recently promoted people are more likely to quit their jobs.
Why might frontline workers, specifically, quit when faced with new roles? They may encounter a gap between their skills and those required for their new role. The demands of a higher-level role may require more profound knowledge without the time for additional training or learning. Meanwhile, the pressure to manage complex tasks, projects, or teams can be overwhelming, especially if the employee enjoyed high independence previously. They may find themselves managing former peers or colleagues, which can strain relationships.
