...Driving Employee Retention Through Engagement Georgina Shores Florida State College at Jacksonville One of the key topics in Human Resources today is employee retention. Retention is defined by businessdictionary.com as “an effort by a business to maintain a working environment which supports current staff in remaining with the company.” (Business Dictionary, 2013) In today’s business world, the cost of hiring and training new employees is high. It is essential to an organization’s bottom line to attempt to keep quality, valued employees happy and employed in order to keep turnover rates down. Retention is a theme that should be kept in mind from the point of hire. There are several drivers of employee retention that should be looked at when discussing the topic. Employee engagement, satisfaction or dissatisfaction with management, unrealistic employee expectations of the job upon hire, compensation issues and advancement issues are just a few that all factor in to whether or not an employee decides to stay or to seek other employment elsewhere. In the course of this paper I will examine each of these topics and what an organization can do to decrease turnover rates within. Employee engagement is defined by investopedia.com as “the level of enthusiasm and dedication a worker feels toward his or her job.” (Business Dictionary, 2013) An employee that is engaged is his or her work is more productive in day to day tasks and is more likely to take a personal interest...

...Jake Cittadino Professor Coursey English 1102 C 4 March 2013 Recruiting, Hiring, and Maintaining: Mandatory for Business Along with many others, a highly mandatory aspect of running any type of business is a workforce. Recruiting, hiring, and maintaining this workforce is a process that requires a plethora of work and time. To be successful in business, all three of the aspects have to be done efficiently and effectively; like a well-oiled machine. If one of the three parts breaks down and is no longer productive, the whole system breaks down. Although the novel The Magicians does not directly involve a business, it does show some aspects of recruiting and hiring skilled labor to go to Brakebills, a specialized college that only allows magical prodigies to attend. In the novel, Quentin is recruited to go to the magical college by a recruiter disguised as an EMT. This certain EMT gives Quentin and his friend an ultimatum that results in Quentin arriving in Brakebills. Once Quentin and the other recruits are at the college, a process similar to a business hiring an employee is performed by way of an entrance exam. This entrance exam is a way to wean out incompetent candidates to ensure that the college only contains the finest quality students, or “employees” for business’s sake. Once the examinations or interviews are performed, the next step in running a business is to be able to keep the employees working for as long as possible. At Brakebills, there is a mysterious problem...

...Odysseus displays a great amount of heroism in his protection and care for his men in the encounter with the Sirens. Since the Sirens have hypnotizing songs, Odysseus takes Circe’s advice in order to keep his men protected from the songs. He “stopped the ears of my comrades one by one” (276; 193). This way he can keep his men from getting pulled into the trap of the Sirens. Odysseus focuses on keeping his men protected and cared for so he can return with as many men as possible, this truly displays the heroic personality Odysseus has. Likewise, Odysseus puts great importance in ensuring the safety of his men when they face the encounter with the lotus-eaters. Eating the flowers causes the men to forget about the trouble they have. Therefore they get lured into the idea of eating them, but by eating them it causes the men to lose all motivation they originally had. The Sirens create a trap and Odysseus has to remove his men from the land in order to ensure their return home. Odysseus “brought them back, back to the hollow ships” (214; 110-111). Without Odysseus’s concern for his men’s safety, they would have secured their fate of death...

...“Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.” In the workplace, motivation is a highly studied concept that managers are always seeking to better understand. Knowing what motivates employees can lead to improved productivity, loyalty, and overall employee job satisfaction. Companies like Google are known for a culture of keeping employees happy by offering countless perks such as free health and dental benefits, first class dining facilities, on-site oil change, car wash, dry cleaning, massage therapy, stylists (Cook, 2012). Google understands that people are not motivated by just extrinsic rewards but intrinsic rewards as well. Having no real hierarchy and tiny work groups allow for more independence (Cook, 2012). Google’s success is a reflection of the employee friendly culture that has been fostered and embraced throughout the company. While companies like Google give their employees several reasons to be motivated, many other employers struggle to keep employees engaged and productive. Not every person is motivated by the same thing and the key to keeping employees motivated is knowing what that motivating factor is. Motivation can be very fluid and what motivates an employee today may be different in six months. There are many theories on motivation but the one that this paper will focus on is McClelland’s Need Theory and how it can used to explain a motivational problem as well as describe an intervention to change the...

...1. What was the rationale for PBMs? Medco Cost Containment Services was a pharmacy benefit manager (PBM). Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) are private companies that administer pharmacy benefits and manage the purchasing, dispensing and reimbursing of prescription drugs. PBMs provide their services to health insurers or to large health care purchasers. PBM services to their clients may include negotiating rebates or discounts from pharmaceutical manufacturers, processing claims for prescription drugs and negotiating price discounts from retail pharmacies. PBMs also develop formularies and manage utilization of drugs through prior authorization or utilization reviews. 2. Does Medco fit with Merck’s strategy? Medco did fit Merck’s growth strategy. Having lost their virtually unrestrained ability to raise prices, many prescription drug makers are striking deals to get their products into other segments of the market in the hopes of keeping sales and profits growing. 3. What does Medco bring to Merck? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Medco's customer base of 33 million customers at the time. Advantage: By acquiring Medco and including its drug in Medco’s formulary it would be really easy to supply Merck’s drug to a huge customer base. Disadvantage: Merck failed to consider the second side of the coin, where in Medco can lose customer base, either US customer or other pharmaceutical companies. 4. What does Medco get from the Merck acquisition? 1. Sales force substitution:...
