Seems pretty on target, though it may be too late by the time you notice a change in their daily routine (the first bullet point), as this may indicate that they've already begun going on interviews. Perhaps it's better instead to ask the employees periodically for their feedback, rather than wait until you notice a bad sign.
- ogreyonder 13y agoAnd when they give you their feedback, listen. They may only tell you once.

- a3n 13y agoYep, lots of people work for little people at BigCo.
- namenotrequired 13y agoI think he means a change in routine caused by them simply not enjoying the work anymore, so they come late or leave early or take long breaks etc. And yes of course digging for signs doesn't beat asking by far. Ideally performance reviews can fill this role (sadly, at least here, too often those are treated as just a legal obligation where the only practical goal is to discuss and most importantly document some complaint, no matter how small, so that just in case the company later decides to fire the employee, they already have a file with "evidence" that you were underperforming for a long time).
