    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.

    My view of the hospitality literature was that of a navigator.

    Employee retention is a practice in which the employees are convinced to stay in the organization for the most period of time or until the accomplishment of the plan. There is no scarcity of opportunities for a capable person. There are countless organizations, which are looking for such employees. If individuals are not satisfied by the job they are doing, they might switch over to some other more appropriate job. In today’s upbringing it turns out to be very imperative for organizations to retain their employees (Dibble, 2000). Employee retention is supportive for the organization with that of the employee. Employees today are diverse. They are not the ones who don’t have first-rate opportunities in hand. As soon as they dissatisfy with the current organization or the job, they switch over to the next job. It is the duty of the organization to keep their paramount employees (Phillips and Connell, 2003).

Hiring knowledgeable workers for the job is essential for an organization. However retention is even more crucial than hiring (Inkson, 2007).
