CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS:
• Many employers and human resources professionals are committed to finding ways of making their workplace better. One important way to get information about possible improvements is by speaking with departing employees.

By keeping track of the outcomes of exit interviews over time, employers can begin to identify trends and patterns as to why people leave the company. Employers can also determine whether turnover is higher in certain positions and departments, whether there are management issues in certain areas, and whether the organization is offering remuneration which is in line with the competition.

• The decision-making process for exiting a project, business, or industry has three steps. First, a well-run company routinely assesses whether its products, internal projects, and business units are meeting expectations. If they aren't, the second step is the difficult decision about whether to shut them down or divest if they can't be improved. Finally, executives tackle the nitty-gritty details of
One indicator that there is a problem with employee satisfaction is that multiple, valued employees have left for other jobs citing low job satisfaction and cultural problems as their primary motivations for leaving. These employees asked for exit interviews and were disappointed that they had to request them. As further evidence that this problem exists, employees often answer informal questions about teamwork, job satisfaction, accountability and communication in a negative way. To gather further evidence of this problem, I propose that a survey be conducted to all employees to collect formal data on employee satisfaction and morale, among other things.

My professional background includes three summers working at a credit union, and the time I have spent job shadowing, both of which are valuable. They will help me by giving me a starting point to build my professional career. Work experience is valuable because it allows me to see how things work with jobs in the “real world” and prepare me for my future after graduation. The job shadows I have done will help me decide what exactly I would like to do upon my graduation. I hope all of my ideas point you towards the same conclusion I have made: I would make a great pharmacist someday and pursuing this degree is a major step in getting there.
When the merger between Al-tech Manufacturing and Border Manufacturing took place, the layoffs caused the employees to react in a way that could possibly cause the company harm. There was a drastic drop in morale and production. The employees showed signs of stress and were feeling unappreciated. Jill’s production slowed because she was uncertain of what changes were going to coming and wanted certainty about exactly what her job was going to be. Jill needed to feel like she was an asset to the team and needed to be given clear direction on where her job was headed.

Turnovers are the worst situation a business can face, after of course, a lost income. Harry Davis is looking different alternatives in which he can avoid or at least minimize MedEx’s turnovers rate. One of the best solutions to figure out the root of the cause that creates turnovers is conducting an employee survey. After conducting the survey, Harry finds out about several reasons why his employees were quitting their jobs at MedEx. “Turnover is one's propensity to depart the job that the individual is currently pursuing (Sondhi et al, 2008)”.(Anwar, Sidin, & Javed, 2017, p. 86).
One of the least favorite parts of a manager's job is having to let an employee go, however, some employment terminations are unavoidable (Fallon & McConnell, 2007). In the unfortunate event of a business layoff, the manager should take great care in how this process is handled as it can send a powerful message to the remaining staff (Heathfield, 2016). Management should work closely with HR beforehand to ensure all organizational policies and procedures have been followed. Any termination should be handled in private where other employees cannot hear the conversation, thus, allowing the employee as much dignity as possible (Gunn, 2017).
Employee turnover costs are very costly to a company. Turnover not only affects the bottom line but also affects the company’s morale. We are analyzing the problems within our company that are causing our employees to become unsatisfied with their job. Then we are going to find solutions. And then do the cost estimates of the turnover costs and the turnover savings after our solutions are implemented.
Employee satisfaction, employee turnover, and workplace environment are inseparably linked. Workplace environments heavily influence employee satisfaction, which directly affects employee turnover rates. When employees feel they are not being supported within their first months of hire, they will inevitably leave the company. Employees want to have the security that if they need assistance, someone will be there to guide them. Therefore, it is imperative for organizations to develop a thorough onboarding program and a long-term retention plan.
During the years getting the degree, I would be able to develop key skills such as good communication skills, good team worker and listing skills. As I would have to talk to different people, attend lectures, activities and group work might be involved which gives me the opportunity to use and develop these skills.
All business schools should have an internship program. The benefits that the internship program can give to its students are outstanding. Students that participate in internships not only benefit themselves but they can also help out other business students by bringing back valuable knowledge and sharing it with them. (Swift and Kent 1) Students also get a good taste of the high pace business world, internships can help weed out the week business students and strengthen the strong. But usually both the student and the business and the business school benefit from the internship. According to Swift and Kent researchers have reported that students who participate in formal internships find their jobs sooner and receive more job offers than do students who do not participate in internships.

In 2012, eighty-four percent of Santa Clara University graduates who responded to a survey from the Santa Clara University School of Engineering obtained one or more internships during their undergraduate studies. Of those who responded, eighty-two percent were employed full-time after graduation earning a median salary of $62,500 (Santa Clara University). This research exhibits that internships can be an important strategy in the efforts toward job search for both students, as well as for employers looking to hire valuable employees. As defined by InternNE.com, an internship is any carefully monitored service or work experience that may be evaluated for educational credit in which an intern or student establishes learning goals and reflects on his or her learning experience in relation to achievement of the stated goals. Internships should first be examined that, when implemented at fullest potential, these opportunities can provide companies and students with a competitive edge in today’s business world. Subsequently, it can be shown that internships assist organizations and companies with temporary or seasonal project and task completion. Lastly, internships will be clarified as to how they allow students to gain valuable experience before entering the workforce. From reviewing an ample amount of research, internships are beneficial and advantageous to the success of a young student, as well as companies.
An internship is a formal program to provide practical experience for beginners in an occupation or profession. By this point in my internship I am more than half way through it and taking on more and more responsibilities and positions as I go along.
Employee turnover in organization is one of the main issues that extensively affect the overall performance of a workplace (Tariq, Ramzan and Riaz, 2013). Various studies show that employee turnover negatively affect the overall efficiency at the organization (Tariq, Ramzan and Riaz, 2013). Xiancheng, (2013) mentioned the employee turnover is a method of personal issues who decided to stop associate with the company for better advantage. There are two types of turnover which are voluntary and involuntary turnover. Voluntary turnover can be defined as the termination of the official and the psychological contract between the employee and employer (Krausz, 2002; Macdonald, 1999; Mclean Parks et al, 1999; Rousseau, 1995) while involuntary turnover inescapably lead to direct negative results such as current job is insecurity, work difficulty, and status fluctuation (Gowan and Gatewood, 1997). However, other researchers such as Haven-Tang and Jones, (2012) concluded poor management, lack of salary, bad working environment and paucity of job opportunities could be the highest causes of turnover among organization. This statement was support by Kusluvan et al., (2010) where is they had stated that poor management, low payment of salary, work environment and lack of employees’ job opportunities on the organization will make employee want to quit from their job. Turnover intention situation will appear when labour had feeling that they want to quit from current job, so voluntary and involuntary turnover will become final stage for them as their decision (AlBattat and Mat Som, 2013) but it is different for researchers such as Mosadeghrad, Ferlie and Rosbenberg (2013) when they conclude that employee turno...
