If the employees move quickly, the chances of staying long enough to expect an increment in their wages will decrease. The third one is about the low employee expectations. If there is a high turnover of employees, there will not be great expectations. This means that employees can put the minimum amount of effort into ensuring that employees will do a good job. The last “pro” concerns to the minimum impact of “difficult employees”. Most companies have a few employees who are difficult to deal with for several reasons (it can be because they are moody or they like to stir up trouble amongst other employees, or because they are not good enough to do their job); with a high turnover, this kind of employees are likely to move on quickly, minimizing their impact on the company. Hereupon, we will now refer the cons of a high turnover. The first one, and probably the most important one concerns with the high cost of training. In order to reduce the turnover, Jack Amazallag has the idea, that in the future, will be possible to recruit and train qualified GOs in a specialized school for a week or two, before their first assignment, in order to reduce the turnover and solve the turnover problem.

Retaining employees is one way the turnover rate can decrease, Branham (2000), focuses on retaining valuable employees by incorporating four key elements. The first key elements is, “be a company that people want to work for”. There are many companies that have been labeled as, “employers of choice”. These employers all have something in common, which is how they value their employers (Branham, 2000). They treat their employees with respect and like family. With being an “employer of choice,” people are the most valuable asset; not just customers but employees too. Many companies go above and beyond for their customers, but not for their employees, yet they wonder why they are losing valuable talent.

After realizing that their company is becoming less profitable is when they begin to wonder why and brainstorm on ways to retain them. In Information Technology, “the cost of recruiting new staff is high and the loss of continuity when staff leave can also be very expensive” (Bott, 2005, p. 111).

The Club Med (A) case examines the companies core values, innovative goals in providing a complete all-inclusive resort getaway experience for their customers, and competitive advantages and disadvantages the resort company had against others. They pride themselves on being innovators and on customer satisfaction, though they did begin to fall behind in some areas due to new competitors entering their category.

Excessive turnover in an organization is a prime indicator that something is not right in the employee environment. We will look at
