The Challenge of Employee Retention
The load has to be taken by existing workers/employees initially. Until suitable employees are selected and trained, there can be issues. Retention of good employees and engaging them in productive pursuits is a significant challenge for all companies. Employees should not be seen as dispensable as there is always a queue of job seekers. When CAs and PhD holders apply for a peon's job, the job crisis is evident. Recruitment costs, training costs, production hold-ups, etc., are caused by trained employees leaving the company. Therefore, HR plays a significant role in suggesting retention policies and implementing those policies when approved by the board.
Lee Iacocca's Approach to Employee Management
Iconic Lee Iacocca has spelled out his thoughts splendidly: "Start with good people, lay out the rules, communicate with your employees, motivate them, and reward them. If you do all those things effectively, you can't miss." Starting with good people means selecting carefully after establishing job requirements for employees. Laying out the rules involves the simple principle of work regulations in the company according to the legal rules of the nation and the company's culture. Communication with employees is vital to building trust and openness, provided that bosses themselves communicate truthfully. Motivating and rewarding employees are self-explanatory. This approach will provide the best results for all concerned.
