...Causes & Effects of High & Low Staff Turnover As a business manager, staff turnover is one area to keep an eye on throughout the year. Turnover is defined as the percentage of a company's work force that voluntarily quits during one year. In general, the goal is to have low staff turnover to maintain consistency in the work force and develop more skilled employees. High-Turnover Causes For the most part, high turnover is related to employee dissatisfaction with the job. Some specific reasons might include low pay, poor working conditions, long hours, not enough benefits or a negative atmosphere, especially from authority figures. In some cases, a business won't be able to help much that it has high staff turnover. Businesses that hire seasonally will obviously have high turnover because seasonal employees do not necessarily come back the following year to work seasonally again. In addition, businesses that hire students will suffer from high turnover as students move or become too busy to work. High-Turnover Effects High turnover is financially costly to the business because it needs to spend time and resources filling the position and training the new employee. This cost can be about 30 percent of the position's annual salary. In addition, high turnover can lower employee morale and cause a flood of people leaving because they see their peers doing the same thing. High turnover can also make the remaining employees more stressed out because they have to fill in...

...leadership, How is it related to Soundwave For leaders, high emotional intelligence is essential for success. The four key attributes of Emotional intelligence “self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management”, enable leaders possessing high emotional intelligence to “perceive emotions as they arise in response to an action or situation, regulate themselves and stay in control”(Furth 2005), as well as “effectively convey directions and know what to say in order to inspire and motivate others”(Furth 2005). Further more it provides leaders with “adequate conflict resolution skills allowing them to effectively manage any disagreements that arise between employees, customers, and other parties”(Gleeson 2013). On the other hand leaders with poor Ei who react from their emotions without filtering them can create “mistrust amongst staff and can seriously jeopardize the working relationship with employees proving detrimental to overall culture, attitudes and positive feelings toward the company and the mission”(Fletcher 2011).This is related to sound wave as we believe the high turnover in employees is a direct result of the poor emotional intelligence of the leaders/managers of this company. This is because the managers are unable to to effectively gauge the needs, wants and expectations of those they lead causing workplace inefficiency and employee dissatisfaction. This must be fixed as high employee turnover is not only financially costly to the business as...

...to laterally transfer or earn a promotion from a different department within the organization. Likewise, most would assume that promoting from within an organization rather than seeking out an external candidate to fill supervisory positions would be the norm, but that may not always be the case. According to the executive search company Carter Baldwin, there are quite a few reasons an organization would choose to select an external candidate over an internal candidate, but a few standout points include: Diversifying the organization’s staff, bridging the leadership gap and to gain expertise in a market, technology or service offering (Carter Baldwin). The first standout reason, diversifying the staff, allows an organization to ensure that their customers and prospective customers feel supported and represented in the organization. One example of this is Apple who has recently began a big push to try and diversify their staff and executive team. They have gone as far as releasing a dedicated page on their website highlighting their effort to diversify (Apple). In the second standout reason, bridging the leadership gap, a company may have a vacant position, but the person that...

...Topic: How to Reduce Employee Turnover? By Priscila da Silva Nowadays employee turnover has received a special attention from human resources professionals and managers. It has proven to be one of the most important factors in influencing quality and cost for companies. Based in these two articles below, this paper will show both the turnover impact in performance and also some ways in which a company can retain its employees. Article 1: Managing the Impact of Employee Turnover on Performance: The Role of Process Conformance. This article analyzes the impact of turnover specifically in the Retail industry because of 3 main reasons: this industry owns a high level of employment; it operates in US with a very high turnover level and finally because its performance may depend on repetitive tasks, a factor that is highly influenced by turnover. Despite of the theory that new employees can potentially bring innovative thoughts and motivation to a given company, turnover can also generate high costs and damage the quality of the service. The likelihood of either of them happen will depend on the environment where the turnover is occurring, and therefore the managers should evaluate how to minimize the turnover impact in performance. Curiously the stores with low turnover rates is more negatively affected by turnovers than the stores with high turnover rates, because companies with high turnover rates normally don’t have very skillful employees because they lack experience...

...EFFECTS AND CAUSES OF EMPLOYEE TURNOVER INTRODUCTION “Employee turnover is the ration of organizational members who have left during the period being considered divided by the average number of people in that organization "Price 1977. “A company's greatest asset is not its financials, buildings, equipment or services- a company's most important asset is its employees”. (Susan Kaplan-Williams) Employees are company’s intellectual capital. They not only bring their skills and talents, they also bring ideas, creativity, innovation, commitment and desire to learn. They are self-motivated even before they begin working for an organization. That motivation stems from the need to provide a home, safety and food for their families and themselves as seen in Abraham Maslow’s 1943 Study. Human resources are one of the most valuable resources of an organization and indeed an organization is nothing without them. Getting and keeping good people is critical to the success of every organization. Maintaining employees is about providing working conditions that are worker friendly, involvement in decision making, good salaries, recognition for good performance and so forth. Many companies are increasingly finding it difficult to retain employees. Turnover is becoming a serious problem in today’s corporate environment. Turnover costs for many organizations are very high and can significantly affect financial performance of an organization. STATEMENT PROBLEM Organizational stability has been...
