Your employee may be showing signs of quitting — it’s critical to know how to spot them.

Productivity declined an average of 33.5% within the span of 12 weeks for employees who plan to quit their jobs, according to new data from software application Prodoscore. The engagement tracker is integrated into company software applications — such as Google Suite and Microsoft Teams — and provides visibility into daily productivity by analyzing other internal applications such as Slack and Zoom. Then, Prodoscore delivers a score based on the findings.

Employees who are poised to leave demonstrate, on average, more volatility in their start and end times during the three weeks prior to leaving, when compared to employees who stay, the study found.

Individuals who left saw a 16-minute decrease in the time they started work and a 24-minute reduction in the time they ended their day, according to Prodoscore. Twenty-one days before an employee quits, people staying with the organization put in an average of 1 hour and 31 minutes more than the employee(s) leaving.
