The issue of increasing employee turnover has been the subject of concern for ABC International. The human capital department has reported a sharp increase in employee turnover for the past year and it has been decided that the best approach to resolving this matter would be to first conduct a research. A secondary step would be to take completed Exit Interviews for the past three years. Using these two information, ABC would be able to analyze and get a big picture of how separated and current employees feel about the various aspects of the company such as compensation and benefits package, career advancement, training and education etc.
They continue to use resources to hire more people, but fail to put many of these resources toward minimising or eliminating turnover in the hourly employee and management ranks (DiPietro 2007). The cost of turnover is great given the financial expenses of recruiting, training and retaining employees. Furthermore, the emotional cost manifested by stress in the workplace for existing employees, supervisors and customers can have negative effects on the working environment (Hinkin and Tracey 2000). It is widely known across the globe that the general requirements for hospitality job roles require little skill and little proficiency in speaking the native language. As a result, training is often spent on new employees which are often an international migration of workers (Miller 2010).
What is hospitality? Hospitality industry is both a service and labor intensive proposition (Poulston, 2008). As per dictionary meaning is the kindness on welcoming guests or strangers, just like a reception for the patient when stay inside the hospital, patients will receive a friendly and generous reception.

Students are expect to providing high contact services, every single movement or behaviour will give a big impact towards customer. The key determinants to provide service quality, which will direct linkage to customer or guest satisfaction and loyalty are employee attitude, performance, and behaviour (Heskett, Jones, Loveman, Sasser Jr., & Schlesinger, 1994). So hospitality industry consider one of the tough industry in the world, because dealing with people is always difficult and challenger.
In the hospitality industry, specifically in hotels, the industry faces an increasing high turnover rate. When dealing with the hotel industry, the question arises as to why employees have high turnover.

The second point discussed is safety needs. Teams benefit both the employer and the employees. The fourth need defined by Maslow is esteem. The fifth and final need mentioned is the need for self-actualization. Ultimately, the reason why the hospitality industry experiences
Many factors play a role in employee turnover-wages; benefits, attendance and job performance all play a significant role in employee satisfaction and productivity. Some organizations may attempt to save costs by decreasing these benefits as a cost savings measure, but if employee retention is affected a cost savings is not realized.
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.
