...OF EMPLOYEE RETENTION PROGRAMS WINSLOW GEORGIA High employee turnover rate decreases the company’s efficiency and carries a high price tag. All of the company funds spent on employee’s training are lost when the employee resigns. Moreover, further spending is generated in order to advertise the vacancy and training for new employees. The purpose of this document is to present new methods on retaining employees to help the company alleviate the cost attributed to high turnover rates. This report introduces new programs that present opportunities to lower high employee turnover rate and therefore helps the company cut down overspending from job advertisements and employee training. The document will present how positive orientation programs, competitive compensation packages, job specific training including leadership training will contribute to lowering the employee turnover rate. Thank you for the opportunity for allowing me to be part of this program and I look forward to our company succeeding from these programs.

...partnership, being a parent, your political affiliation, career path or level of income can also influence your personal perspectives. These factors make us react, approach challenges and solve problems differently. CURRICULUM TOPICS • Business environment • Business strategy • People in organisations • Communication GLOSSARY When people refer to ‘diversity’, especially in a business context, they often focus on a particular set of key characteristics or differences. These are: • gender • ethnicity (which refers to colour, race and national origin) • religion • disability • age • sexual orientation. These differences are protected by law. This means staff and customers have the legal right to be treated fairly and equally in relation to these characteristics. Diversity brings real benefits to society and businesses. For society, diversity brings richness and variety. There are always new and interesting things to be learnt from each other. For a business, employing a diverse workforce enables it to use a wider range of talents and skills. These lead to creativity and innovation. Businesses need to mirror the communities and cultures they work in so they can understand and anticipate the diverse needs of their customers. In order to get the best from staff and meet the varying needs of their diverse customers, it is very important for businesses to ‘manage diversity’ in a positive way. They need to recognise, respect and value people’s differences. Political affiliation: belonging...

...Summary ABC Inc. hired 15 new employees with the intention of starting the orientation on June 15. Carl has only six months experience and has made several critical errors. This may have been created due to lack of qualifications, training, or overstating of qualification on Carl’s resume. Due to this, certain tasks were not addressed in a timely manner. Four problems are readily apparent; employee applications are incomplete or missing documentation, lack of training manuals, no drug screenings have been administered, and the training room intended for the orientation is book for the entire month of June. Introduction Carl Robins, a newly hired campus recruiter for ABC, Inc, hired 15 new employees within his first six months on the job. These newly hired employees will be working for Monica Carrolls, the Operations Supervisor. The new employees require an orientation on company policy, manuals to learn such policies, physicals, and drug screening. Carl is behind on preparation for the orientation and has not completed the required processing for the new employees. Some of the new hires do not have completed applications or their transcripts on file, and none of them had the required drug screening. The orientation manuals were also missing pages and Carl could only locate a total of three. Carl also discovered the training room he was going to use for the orientation is booked for the entire month of June...

...The Role of Human Resource Management in Risk Management Bernard L. Erven Department of Agricultural, Environmental and Development Economics Ohio State University Human resources have two roles in risk management. First, people are a source of risk, e.g., shortage of employees, people doing sloppy work, an employee refusing to take on additional responsibility or a key employee leaving two months after completion of a one-year training program. Second, people are important in handling risk, e.g., people using their ingenuity to solve unexpected problems, employees going the extra mile for the good of the organization, a key employee redesigning her own job to avoid unnecessary delays in getting work done, or an employee persuading a talented friend to apply for a position in the business. Human resources include more than regular full-time employees. They include: all management and labor personnel, family and non family members, full-time and part-time people, and seasonal and year around employees. Human resources play important roles in farm businesses of all sizes. Orientation and training matter as much for one employee as for 20 employees. A business with just two people can have serious conflicts that jeopardize the business’ continuity and success. No team of people is so small as to avoid the need for leadership or so large as to make leadership impossible. Risk specialists have traditionally focused mostly on important causes of risk such as weather, disease and natural...

...Eventually, this serves as a basis for the feeling of the shared understanding that members have about the organisation at hand, the way in which the members are expected to behave and the way in which things are done (Lok & Crawford, 1999). Commonwealth Bank has a good employee friendly organisation culture and is more or less a blend of the seven characteristics of organisation cultures. However, it is always better to avoid the flaws in each type of culture and adapt to only the meritorious attributes of these cultures. For this purpose, it is significant to analyse one’s own corporate environment and then figure out which blend of cultures suits best to the organisation as whole. The Bank focuses greatly on the incentivising the performance of the employees, in making the organisation more people oriented, getting a perfect mix of both innovative and stable organisation, in improving the collaboration and coordination amongst employees, in getting good quality results and outcomes for their customers to ensure better engagement with customers and ensuring optimum utilisation of all their resources or factors for the smooth functioning of the organisation.
