Hi - not withstanding the research and the other opinions here, the act of resignation can also be about control and the official record. If someone resigns rather than being dismissed or made redundant, then the control remains or is perceived to remain with the individual. It also allows the employee to create a set of reasons for their resignation that suits them, which isn't necessarily bad for the employer either. Also a 'resignation' can support a career change/rethink explanation for a period of not being in work.
I see this post was put up in the summer with no responses. If this is still of interest, do come back to me. I can put you in touch with our customers who can offer their views on the experience of working with us and our online performance appraisal system.
