2.2 Development and Employee’s Turnover
According to Micheal J.Pires (Feb 2009 ) in his article emphasizes couple of issues that help in reducing employee turnover. He thinking to hiring candidates who are looking for development opportunities can be beneficial for the organization if it does provide career advancements. Moreover it is important to recognize the success and contribution of the employees. Furthermore it is important to provide training courses and career progression within the company so that the employees can develop (Pires, 2009).
In my opinion new career advancement opportunities also affect turnover of an employee. Job opportunity is the availability of other job opportunities. Job opportunity plays a role in job satisfaction

C. (2013) he have similar ides with Micheal J.Pires he believe that the employee development may be especially likely to lead to turnover when the employee believes that career opportunities in his or her organization are a poor match to his or her career goals (Bambacas, 2013). However, Bambacas and Kulik mentioned in his article that if there are no career opportunities for the employee to develop himself by training and have good goals to reach their performance. According to Erin Palmer, (2012) there is a strong bond between career development plan and employees turnover. Creating a career development plan helps to keep the employees in the organizations through providing true career path in order to show employees that you value them for the career advancement that will make the employees feel happy and take care more about the company success (Palmer, 2012). In my opinion, organizations should understand the need of their employees and implement a clear career development plan to keep their employees commitment to the …show more content…
I disagree with him because when the employees are enjoying a higher degree of job satisfaction they tend to be more helpful and friendly with their colleagues at work. This helps to promote teamwork where sharing of information and knowledge is enhanced. Moreover the relationship between job satisfaction and employees may lead to a better and safer working environment with reduced negative conflicts which otherwise would obstruct the smooth running of the
With the high rate of turnover, we would need to find a way to lower that and make sure the employees are feeling like they are valuable members of the business. I predict that I would find out that the employees don’t feel that they are treated well enough and getting rewarded for their liking. I think that they feel undervalued and disrespected and that causes the high turnover. I would recommend to the executives that they sit down and meet with their employees and figure out ways to better the relationship between management and the
Not only is it expensive to hire and train new employees; it can also dilute an organization’s culture as well. According to Mayhew, high turnover does not allow employees to form strong relationships, and hampers new employee development techniques such as mentoring and training.
Employee turnover represents a practical problem to an organization in terms of loss of talent and additional recruitment and training cost. Only a few studies have explored the effects on intention to leave (i.e. Daily & Kirk 1992) . Therefore, the underlying process through with organizational perception leads to employee turnover remain largely unknown. I am not going to consider gender, age or race in this study. I am not going to consider individual employee titles. I am not going to study samples of over 60 people. I am not going to divide HR non-exempt employees by individual HR departments.
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.
Being the lack of career development programmes the main reason for employees to leave the company more in detail issues were identified:
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.
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. As Barry Schwartz stated, “society needs to be mentored by wise teachers.” (Ted2009).
The increasing number of industries is adversely affecting employee retention in corporate company and it is leading to higher employee
I have no formal training in the fields of human resource management, business, or not-for-profit administration. As such, I visualized an organization’s most valuable asset as something tangible, such as capital investments. Prior to commencing my studies in the MPA program, I had a generally vague concept of the financial and operational implications the loss of key employees would have on an organization. Also, I lacked a real grasp of how severe said losses could be, including the effects they could have on the office environment, including employee morale. Through readings in our class, and in others, it has become clear to me that employee retention is one most important strategic, operational and financial facets of successful human resource management in any organization. I discovered that extensive research exists which addresses topics in human resources, including employee retention. Two such articles, one presented in a scientific context and the other in a more practical context, address the issue of employee attrition. I believe that employee retention is a fine art that must be balanced between an organization’s management and the HRD. Both articles provide valuable information to reduce the likelihood of employee attrition, including techniques and values that must be considered.
Changing workplaces clearly require managers to adapt and blend management techniques to best deal with different challenges - no one management technique can accurately address existing challenges and adapt to meet new ones. Questions of job turnover may be addressed with behavioural techniques that attack loss of job satisfaction as a cause for voluntary cease of tenure, but their are other causes for job turnover, that may be addressed more properly by other management techniques. Some issues arising in a diverse workforce can be mitigated with classical methods, but classical management methods are certainly not appropriate for all challenges in a diverse workplace
Training and development are important factors to the success of any organization. Each employee is a valuable asset that can either add to the success a company or contribute to its failure. Training supports and makes possible the development of new skills and knowledge. Offering training for employees at various levels within an organization assist employees develop the necessary skills and proficiency to be successful in their careers as well as prepare for new responsibilities.
In many organisations, managers and bosses have found it a struggle implementing successful strategies to improve job satisfaction and productivity among its employees. While dealing with unproductive, unmotivated and unsatisfied employees, there is an increased risk for turnover, which can be prevented. The risk of high turnover is a problem to workplaces as turnover has been proven to ‘take its toll’ on productivity as it disrupts current projects and increases workloads for other employees. It also has a negative impact on team cohesion (Patrick and Sonia, 2012). Job satisfaction is one’s general attitude to the job, and higher the job satisfaction, the more likely he/she will hold a positive attitude towards their job (De Menzes, 2011). De Menzes (2011) believes that employees who are satisfied with their jobs are likely to be more committed to their organisation and be more productive. People are significantly more productive when they are content and achieving individual and organisational goals are able to be fulfilled in a work environment where employees feel happy and motivated. Interventions which can be used to improve job satisfaction and productivity to decrease rates of turnover and unmotivated employees include an increase in workplace training, as well as performance pay.
Although the concept of leadership and culture for a company has been around since the early 18th century, the ways that companies structure their leadership and culture can vary based on the business. Companies have to use different techniques to ensure that the leadership and culture are aligned. The evolution of leadership and culture entering companies has allowed employees structure around leadership exceptions and the climate in which the exceptions will need to be met. There are different industries in which business is conducted. For this reason employers will need to be aware of the leadership style and business culture to find ways keep their companies operating in a cohesive manner.
...961; Dawson and Lingard 1982; Alvarez and Arias 2003). At the same time, there is some evidence that management affects labour turnover. Thus, Davis and Haltiwanger (1992) and Hamermesh, Hassink and Van Ours (1996) report on variability of turnover rates across firms within narrowly defined sectors of economy, and their persistency within a given firm, which implies that management practices in these firms affect labour turnover. Burgess, Lane and Stevens (2000: 480) have also argued that some managers will be better than others at choosing good matches, and dissolving bad ones – and might even thrive on high turnover. Other managers, and management practices, will need low turnover. It is possible, therefore, that confounding the impacts of turnover itself and management partly mediated through turnover obscures the true role of labour turnover infirm performance.
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...
