Turnover at Walgreens

One constant trend throughout many organizations if not all is the struggle in finding qualified candidates to fill job openings. Not only is it difficult to recruit skilled workers, but also to retain them. Going back to my parent’s work experience, companies expected job loyalty, but today, I noticed and read stories of employees accepting other job offers only weeks after being hired. I wonder if people have changed or is it that employers are not able to satisfy employees. To completive and win the battle for workforce share, organizations should rethink their strategies to effectively recruit, motivate, and retain committed employees.

We can see from the data that regardless of the role, retention is costly. Therefore maintaining a strong stable workforce, while reducing employee turnover is vital to the success of the

One of the tools Sharp managers use to retain the employees is re-recruitment of current employees rather than new ones. Re-recruiting recognizes employees for their contributions, renews their sense of self-worth and loyalty, and ensures their longevity. The management places employees in three different categories based on their performance. The categories include great, good and low-performing employees. The management meets with employees in each category individually. However, when they meet with their great performers, they let them know they are a valuable asset to

During the recent past however, when the company became a more dominant global competitor and a publicly traded conglomerate, the numbers of employees leaving the firm have increased, generating adjacent problems of employee recruitment, training and retention. In other words, the major challenges currently faced by the company are related to talent management. At a more specific level, the issues refer to the following:

The millennial's are coming. This can be a very shocking and disturbing thing to many employers and managers. There is a new generation entering the workforce that many see as difficult, lazy, and foreign. While the years vary, millennial's generally are represented by people in the United States born in-between 1980 & 2000 (Kuhl, 2014). This is a new generation of employees who think very differently than past generations and have a very different perception of the employee-employer relationship. Many companies are struggling with recruiting this generation into their workforce and even more companies are plagued by extremely high attritions rates within this demographic. In this essay the ideas of changes to recruiting and on boarding

A critical factor to the success of any company is its ability to attract top talent while retaining those already working within the company. Losing employees can have a significant impact on a company’s morale, productivity and overall profit.

Employees, especially Millennials or Generation Y workers, want to stay in a company that provides a range of professional opportunities and career paths where they can grow their careers (("Internal Mobility Benefits Employees and the Business | RPO Intelligence Blog," n.d.), lack of career advancement opportunities is one of the main reasons that desirable, high-potential employees leave a business. According to a recent LinkedIn “exit survey” of 7,350 members across five countries, the top reason workers left their jobs was because they wanted

To write for employee involvement and commitment in a change process, it is important to provide to the reader a clear understanding of the meaning employee involvement and commitment, as well as the interaction of these two factors in order to have a

Voluntary employee turnover of the Millennial generation is costing the U.S. economy billions of dollars annually. High costs of voluntary employee turnover are causing organizations to have a retention plan in place to accommodate the Millennial workforce (Nolan, 2015). The Millennial generation, ages 24-34 years, is the largest population with a high voluntary turnover rate in the workforce. Approximately 70 percent of Millennial employees leave their first jobs within two and a half years of joining. One of the main reasons why organizations experience high voluntary turnover rates is due to poor retention of the Millennials (Campione, 2015). While changing jobs frequently by taking jobs outside their field of study and taking on more student debt, job hopping has tainted the job market because of the lack of job satisfaction (Campione, 2015).

Employers, on a daily basis, are in a battle to recruit and retain a talented workforce. While initially, compensation is important in driving interest. It can be the benefits of a company that determines the loyalty, engagement or retention of an employee. In 1995, the ratio of people who quit their job each month increased to more than 13 percent compared to the prior average of 10 percent (Branham, 2001, p. 1). Based on this ratio, an “average public company [would lose] half its employees every four years” (Branham, 2001, p. 1). This number does not include the “fifty-five percent of U.S. employees” who think of “quitting or plan to quit within a year” of working (Branham, 2001, p. 1). Further impacting a company is the growing mix of a diverse workforce. The diversity lends to better pool of performers, a wider range of customers and the strong potential of a company becoming the “employer of choice” (Branham, 2001, p. 264). Traditionally there are nine dimensions of diversity that a company may pool from: gender, race, age, religion, ethnicity, hierarchy/class, sexual orientation, family situation and disability (Branham, 2001, p. 265). The dynamics and mixture of employees will affect the business strategy of a company. More than just compensation, employers understand they must arm themselves with good benefits. Part of this benefit strategy can be obtained through the use of work/life balance.

According to Collings and Mellahi (2009), a talent management involves some activities in human resource practices one of which is to maintain the loyalty of employees to a company. High turnover rate of employees as an indication of low workers’ commitment (in companies’ views) or poor retention applications (in employees’ views) is a big problem in some companies (Becker & Huselid, 1998). The problem can lead to inefficiency in the cost of employment and may also influence companies’ performance (Boselie, Dietz, & Boon, 2005). Therefore, some companies may set and implement a retention strategy as an

The world has been changing dramatically due to an increase in technology and humans are now living in the information technology century. Thanks to technology, the living standard of most humans especially in western countries and emerging economies have been improved. However, changes may lead to problems. Therefore, changes in the surrounding environment lead to changes in human’s life, behaviour, and mind, which lead to some critical problems as social and demographic changes result in more educated and skilled employees. As a consequence, employees’ expectations in job satisfactions are higher compared to previous decades. This may lead to problems that employees have in finding secure jobs since the amount of vacancies available has been taken by more educated people. According to Nankervis, et al. (2005, p.208), those problems above may have resulted in a narrower access to long-term career paths. This essay will briefly discuss that issue.

The purpose of this essay is to show the detrimental effects of voluntary staff turnover to organizations and demonstrate how retention strategies can be implemented to retain talented and motivated employees. This essay draws on knowledge from empirical studies, to analyze the types of turnover and possible solutions for organizations in the future.
