Esigning retention agreement

[Music] [Laughter] employee retention refers to the ability of an organization to retain its employees employee retention can be represented by a simple statistic for example a retention rate of 80 percent usually indicates that an organization kept 80 percent of its employees in a given period however many consider employee retention as relating to the efforts by which employers attempt to retain employees in their workforce in this sense retention becomes the strategies rather than the outcome a distinction should be drawn between low performing employees and top performers and efforts to retain employees should be targeted at valuable contributing employees employee turnover is a symptom of deeper issues that have not been resolved which may include low employee morale absence of a clear career path lack of recognition poor employee manager relationships or many other issues a lack of satisfaction and commitment to the organization can also cause an employee to withdraw and begin looking for other opportunities pay does not always play as large a role in inducing turnover as is typically believed in a business setting the goal of employers is usually to decrease employee turnover thereby decreasing training costs recruitment costs and loss of talent and organizational knowledge by implementing lessons learned from key organizational behavior concepts employers can improve retention rates and decrease the associated costs of high turnover however this isn't always the case employers can seek positive turnover whereby they aim to maintain only those employees whom they consider to be high performers studies have shown that cost related to directly replacing an employee can be as high as 50-60 percent of the employees annual salary but the total cost of turnover can reach as high as 90 - 200 percent of the employees annual salary these costs include candidate views new hire training the recruiters salary separation processing job errors lost sales reduced morale and a number of other costs to the organization turnover also affects organizational performance high turnover industry such as retailing food services call centers elder care nurses and salespeople make up almost a quarter of the United States population replacing workers in these industries is less expensive than another more stable employment fields but costs can still reach over $500 per employee an alternative motivation theory to Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a motivator hygiene herzberg's theory the series have overlap but the fundamental nature of each model differs while Mons Long's hierarchy implies the addition or removal of the same leave stimuli will enhance or detract from the employees satisfaction Herzberg findings indicate that factors garnering job satisfaction are separate from factors leading to poor job satisfaction and employee turnover herzberg's system of needs is segmented into motivators and hygiene factors like Maslow's hierarchy motivators are often unexpected bonuses that foster the desire to excel hygiene factors include expected conditions that if missing will create the satisfaction examples of hygiene factors include bathrooms lighting and the appropriate tool for a given job employers must utilize positive reinforcement methods while maintaining expected hygiene factors to maximize employee satisfaction and retention you [Music]
