Analysis of High Turnover Rate

Introduction
High turnover rate of minorities and female employees has become a serious issue in the United States. Even though many ethnic races form this country, male Anglo-Saxons dominate the majority of the workforce. It is not uncommon for minority and female employees to leave their company after only working for a few years. Why has this behavior become a trend? In order to stop this trend, companies must ask themselves several questions. For example, what are the issues causing the high turnover rate? What legal and ethical issues are the companies facing? After these questions have been asked and processed, solutions must be implemented to change the flow of the trend.

While implementing solutions to the high turnover rate, companies must know and understand the law. The law is created and enforced by the government to prevent any discrimination or biases between the company and employees. It also prevents the strong, corporations, from taking advantage of the weak, employees.

Keeping a high turnover rate, companies will continue to lose money until they decide to deal with the issue. Through some adjustments and implementations of the programs to lower turnover rates, the company can see a significant change in their costs and what they might actually save.

    After analyzing the reading, a few things seems to be causing this issue. First, Gobias Industries recently underwent a change which made each division a separate entity. The change caused job mobility to plummet. Communication between each division halted. The pool of job opportunities and work location transfers decreased for the employees of each location. Without communication between the divisions, employees found it difficult to hear of job opportunities at other location. The employees became limited to only the opportunities offered at their location. Secondly, the job opportunities at each division also decreased with the introduction of new technology. The technology began taking over the majority of work for many entry-level jobs. The work left for employees to do became low complexity and low effort therefore, were compensated less. The wages for these entry-level jobs became stagnant. These jobs then became boring, less attractive, and scarce. With the decrease in jobs, a decrease in the opportunity for promotion also exist. Thirdly, the new technology also caused job evaluations to become outdated and incorrect. If recruiters are misrepresenting the jobs during recruitment, then employees will be highly unlikely to stay with that job for long especially if the job does not pay well and has little room for promotion. In order to fix the issue of high turnover, Sudden Valley Works needs to redo their job analysis and revamp their recruiting. These solutions will help with job turnover as well as reaching their goals of retention and employment of more women and minority groups.

    I agree with you saying that there are a number of factors that negatively affect the lowest turnover rate in the United States and “how we decide who is eligible to vote” affects the outcome. An individual is eligible to vote when he/she becomes 18 years of age but that does not mean the person will be able to vote. I too used this reason for lowest turnout rate in voting; noncitizens and ex-felons. There are so many Americans who have committed a felony and are no longer eligible to vote. The United States also has so many illegal immigrants who have migrated to the United States and they are not eligible to vote because they are not a United States citizen. The rules that govern elections make it difficult for Americans to vote that some
