    Examples include rumination of an employee due to drug use and layoffs during times of downturn (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, & Wright, 2014, p. 305). Voluntary turnover is turnover initiated by the employee, often when the organization would prefer to keep them (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, & Wright, 2014, p. 305). Examples of these are employee retirement, or when an employee takes a job at a different organization. Both turnovers are costly to the organizations, training new hires takes time and money and replacing those works is expensive. Employees that left because of extreme job dissatisfaction can deliver bad publicity and shine an unfavorable light towards the organization in which the employee

    Based on what I learned in Chapter 10, interventions that I would make to reduce management turnover would be to include various and multiple strategies for promoting employee job satisfaction and commitment. What this means is that organizations today are concentrating on retaining good employees, so motivational techniques play a big part in an organization’s success. Turnover is time consuming and costly. I have never understood the purpose of the “revolving door” at some of the law firms that I have been employed other than a dysfunctional management.

  • Voluntary And Involuntary Turnover Case Study

    Voluntary and involuntary turnover have an effect on organizations. Rapid changes in job descriptions, organizational structures, and inter-organizational competitiveness increase the importance of studying turnover and its relationship with organizational change. According to Leana and Van Buren (1999), "the loss of key network members can severely damage an organization 's social fabric and perhaps eradicate its social capital altogether." When businesses lose a high number of employees, problems can occur, costing the company time and money. Some of the costs incurred are associated with training, drug testing, physicals, and orientations to hire replacements that may take several months to learn the job and to achieve competency. There is a saying, “Good help is hard to find---and harder to keep”. This saying refers to good organizations trying to reduce turnover when the competition for retaining good employees is intense.

    673), retention management must be based on three types of turnover, voluntary, discharged, and downsizing. Not all businesses are freighted by turnovers, for some it is the way of life and cost is built into the budget. However, for others any type of high turnover can be detrimental for company profit, employee wage and benefits offered. First, let’s take a look at voluntary and involuntary turnover that affects retention. Voluntary turnovers are caused by many different reasons. Turnover may result from topics such as job dissatisfaction, job mismatching, knowing that job opportunities are plentiful. Two reasons that I will discuss more are micromanagement and employee loyalty. Like stated before in the introduction, when employees are dissatisfied, possibly due to being placed in an area that doesn’t fit with their skill set, one is more likely to seek new employment. Another part of turnover is discharging and downsizing. Discharge is just that, members being discharged due to discipline and job performance. While downsizing turnover is a result of business being overstaffed (Heneman III, Judge, Kammeyer-Mueller, 2015, pg. 675). There are also other reasons for voluntarily employee turnover, such as generation differences when it relates to employment. The current generations are more likely to see a job as one piece in their life puzzle rather than as the first, indispensable anchor piece without
