This CEO Is Happy After His Top-Performing Employee Quits

And social media is going crazy over it

A few months ago, one of the top-performing employees of Pine Labs quit after serving the company for five years. Usually, companies take such occurrences seriously. They try to persuade employees to stay so that they can retain the talent.

But not the CEO of Pine Labs; Amrish Rau took to Linkedin to celebrate the news.

The Story

The said employee had been with the company for five years. He has grown from a service engineer into an invaluable fintech resource in that duration. However, as he gained the required experience in sales, he left the company for a new job with a better salary.

The first interaction between Amrish Rau and the service engineer was due to a rant by the employee about how salespeople are not doing their jobs correctly. The CEO did a zoom call with the engineer to understand his grievances and ideas to improve the sales.

The service engineer came well prepared for the meeting. He impressed the CEO with his explanations of what he thinks is the problem and ideas for improving the company’s sales.

The engineer’s presentation was so impressive that the company rewarded him, transferred him to sales, and trained him to be a fintech resource.

The engineer performed well in his new role for the next two years. He took the opportunity to gain first-hand experience in sales and learn all he could.

However, he took a better-paying job in another company once he was ready.

Most companies will react not so positively when such things happen to them. They will highlight how they provided opportunities to learn and grow, but the employee failed to reciprocate once they gained the experience.

In the case of Pine Labs, the CEO posted a celebratory message on Linkedin. He highlighted how companies should support employees to achieve their highest potential. And how when their support makes a difference in the employees’ lives, the companies should be happy.

Lessons Learned

This incident reminds me of my first company as a software engineer.

During our induction session, the CEO told us that if in the future, some of the new joiners create their own business or join their dream company, then he will consider it his company’s success.

For him, it meant the training and experience provided by his organization had enabled people to grow and achieve their professional goals.

Such CEOs and their companies teach today’s organizations a few valuable lessons.

1. Be open to ideas

Companies need to be open to ideas and suggestions from all levels of employees and be willing to act on them. They need to create work environments where employees feel comfortable speaking up and sharing their ideas.

It will encourage out-of-the-box thinking and support developing innovative solutions. With happy employees inspired to perform better, businesses can grow faster.

2. Make the best utilization of available talent

It is essential to identify talents within the company and utilize their skills in the best way possible. This means giving employees opportunities to learn and grow. Do not restrict their growth by expecting them to stay in the same role forever.

3. Don’t force people to stay if there is no further scope for growth

Companies should not force employees to stay or harbor hard feelings if they want to quit.

Businesses need to understand that it is not feasible for them to fulfill the dreams of every employee. Hence, it is better to support talented people who can find their path to success, even if that means leaving the company for better opportunities.

4. Celebrate the employees’ success

Employees feel valued when their company celebrates their success. It makes them think they are part of the organization and brings a sense of belonging.

When a company can celebrate the success of a worker who quits, it sends a positive signal to the rest of the employees who are still working for the company. They get motivated to give their best and work towards achieving better results.

Take Away

It is not often we get to read such motivating stories about organizations. Companies usually focus more on their financial growth and seldom think about the employees’ well-being.

But as the CEO of Pine Labs has shown, it is possible to have a win-win situation. The company can focus on its success while supporting employees in their individual growth. When they leave for better opportunities, the company can take it as a sign of success, knowing that they have created a work environment where employees can thrive.

In conclusion, businesses can learn valuable lessons from Amrish Rau’s response to his top-performing employee quitting. They should also enable their employees to grow within the company and be happy when they leave to pursue their dreams.
