...Importance of Employee Retention The sustainability and success of any organization depends upon the retention of key employees and according to Panoch, (2001) valuable employees are increasingly becoming more difficult to find. In today's highly competitive environment employee retention should be top priority for organizations especially since many consider human talent to be the ‘greatest assets' to a company. Cutler (2001) stated that one of the most important demands on management today in any organization is keeping the most vital and dynamic human resources motivated and dedicated. Managing and retaining valuable talent requires a balance between the employee aspirations and the strategic and financial needs of the business. Implementing strategies that encourage employees to remain in an organization can be termed as employee retention. Zineldin, (2000) has defined retention as “an obligation to continue to do business or exchange with a particular company on an ongoing basis”. * Hiring is not an easy process. According to the University of California, Riverside, in order to strategically increase efficiency and effectiveness in hiring and retention and to maintain consistency and compliance in the recruitment and selection process there are a number of tedious steps that must be followed. These processes can be very time consuming and costly for an organization. Step 1: Identify Vacancy and Evaluate Need Step 2: Develop Position Description Step 3: Develop...

...Goodman 1. Introduction Employee motivation can be regarded as one of the key practices for an organization to build long-term sustainability in any respective business industry. In relation to the recent phenomenon, the performance of employees significantly depends upon a number of factors including employee motivation, employee satisfaction, performance appraisal, compensation, training and development (T&D) along with adequate security of job role and organizational structure among other factors (Muogbo, 2013). However, the specific area of this study is focused on employee motivation, which tends to highly influence employee performance within an organization. In relation to the rapidly growing global business environment, marketers have been widely witnessed to implement a number of strategic measures in order to keep the workforce more optimistic with regard to their specific roles and responsibilities within the organization. In this regard, Organizational Behavior (OB) has long been observed to play an essential role for the entrepreneurs to develop strong workforce in accordance with the vision and postulated business goals (Tishman et al., 2012). Emphasising the notion of OB to play as an essential role in employee motivation, the primary objective of this report is to critically analyse the practice of OB by United Healthcare (UHC) while empowering performance and long-term relationship of the employees within the organization.

...as well as team members working with the division must employ new strategies that not only increase their efficiency, but also encourage them to work together as a team. This paper analyses some of the problems facing the Division of Environmental Assessments, as well as some solutions aimed at improving employee experience. Problems There are underlying problems in the case. The problems must be solved if the division is to play a more complete role in assessment of environmental plans of oil and gas developments. One of the clearest problems is poor employee retention. In the history of the division, it is obvious that employee turnover has not been a serious issue. However, there is now an increase in the turnover rate, and the ability of filling vacant positions is becoming increasingly difficult. From the case, it is evident that within the first month of Jane’s leadership as the Manager of Environmental Assessments, the division has lost one top engineer and one junior engineer. The main reason why employees are leaving the division is that they are receiving more attractive salary packages from other companies, especially in the private sector. Poor employee retention clearly has a direct relationship with the inability of the division to attract new workers. Based on the situation on the ground, this is not only because of a lack of engineers with the appropriate background, but also because of lack of engineers that are willing to commit themselves to...

...Implementing an Effective Performance Management Process Improving Performance Through Meaningful Feedback Performance management continues to be a challenge for many organizations. People believe in the value of the outcomes, but to many, giving (and receiving) feedback is a daunting task. Burke’s annual Workforce Perspective® survey shows that while 70% of employees receive an annual performance review, less than half believe the review effectively evaluates their performance. And, just over 60% find the feedback useful in helping them to improve job performance. To put this all in context, linkage research shows that employee engagement is linked to customer loyalty and organizational performance. Further, performance management and career development are both strong drivers of employee engagement. Giving these topics the attention they deserve is vital to individual and organizational success! Performance Management is more than just an annual review. It encompasses the entire process of employee performance evaluation and feedback and includes goal setting and coaching. Done effectively, it also includes the creation of development plans to address current performance issues as well as maximize future performance and career potential. “Feedback is the breakfast of champions.” Ken Blanchard What Are the Characteristics of a Successful Performance Management Program?

...(PEMRA), Pakistan Ajmal Waheed, Quaid-e-Azam University, Pakistan Khattak Hamid Rafiq, National University of Modern Languages, Pakistan ABSTRACT Researchers have developed a relationship between HRM practices and organizational performance, but the relationship between HRM practice like job analysis – employee Job performance remains unexplored. This paper, based on a study of employees of Pakistan Public sector regulatory authorities of telecommunication, oil and gas, power, media, security exchange, banking sector and organizations being regulated by these authorities is an attempt to develop and test a hypothesized model linking HR importance of job analysis with employee job performance. Survey results of 568 employees indicated that practice of job analysis was strongly related to employee job performance. The findings suggest that an organisation-wide policy of job analysis is an important source of competitive advantage in its own right, and requires due attention of HR professionals. The study extends the findings of the HR–employee job performance research pursued in Western countries to a non-Western context.

...Employee retention has always been an important focus for human resource managers. Once a company has invested time and money to recruit and train a good employee, it is in their own best interest to retain that employee and to further develop and motivate them so that they continue to provide value to the organization. However, employers must also recognize and tend to what is in the best interest of their employees, if they intend to keep them. When a company overlooks the needs of its employees and focuses only on the needs of the organization, turnover often results. Excessive turnover in an organization is a prime indicator that something is not right in the employee environment. For this reason, I chose to research and address this topic. In the near future I plan working my way through different management positions in the organization I establish myself with and ultimately reach corporate level. When this comes to fruition, I will need to know my employees, how to retain the most productive ones, and how to keep them satisfied. With this in mind, the topics covered in this report will look at the differences between retention and turnover, why employees stay, reasons why they leave, and what can be done to save them. Employees leave organizations for all sorts of reasons. Some find a different job, some go back to school, and some follow a spouse who has been transferred out of town. Others retire, get angry about something and quit on impulse, or never intended to...

...rewards approach. Total rewards should embrace everything that today’s employee values in the employment relationship. Because total rewards are made up of all the tools that attract, motivate and retain employees, employers need to develop an effective strategy that works with its organizational demographics. (WorldatWork, 2007, pg. 4) There are five (5) advantages of a total rewards approach: Increase Flexibility, Improved Recruitment and Retention, Reduced Labor Cost/Cost of Turnover, Heightened Visibility in a Tight Labor Market, and Enhanced Profitability. Increased flexibility total rewards approach “combines transactional and relational awards to be mixed and remixed to meet the different emotional and motivational needs of employees (WorldatWork, 2007, pg. 15).” Workplace flexibility is a way to define how, when and where work gets done and how careers are organized. It is essential that flexibility work for both the employer and the employees, to be effective. Recruiting and retaining talent is an important priority for best-practice companies. Best practice companies understand the importance of attracting and retaining top talent because of the belief that “getting the right people on the bus” is likely to lead to better employee performance and long-term business success (http://www.totalhrmanagement.com/hr-as-a-strategic-business-partner). Improving recruitment and retention is important to address because of the issues with cost and turnover that...
