HRM: Week 3 Discussion Solved, No Plagiarism

$10.00

Discussion: Employee Turnover

Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don’t want to.

—Richard Branson

Review the following scenario of Emily and consider the potential consequences for companies where stories like hers (or worse) are commonplace:

Shortly after graduating from college, Emily Evans started a new job in an office downtown. After Emily spent the first few days completing paperwork and getting familiar with the layout of the company, a colleague who worked in the same position began acting as her mentor, explaining the expectations and guiding her on how to perform her job. After a few weeks, Emily felt comfortable with her job and expressed her enthusiasm to her mentor, who only responded with a feigned smile. After a few months, Emily had a general sense of other teams’ responsibilities and she felt comfortable in her own position, which was a good thing because her mentor had left for another company. After a year, she had a solid understanding of the entire company’s objectives because she periodically worked with other teams; however, she started to become dissatisfied with the working environment and the lack of opportunities for her to grow within the company. After two years of being stuck in the same position, Emily became a mentor for a new recruit. When he told her how excited he was to start his new position, she could only return that same expression that was given to her 2 years prior. Emily realized the significance of her reaction and began updating her résumé the next day.
