Scenario 3: The Effect of Losing Staff Members during a Staff Reduction
The existing recruitment and retention policies can create a delay because it requires upper-level approval for all new hires. It could take time to obtain the required permissions for hiring.
Employee retention can be impacted by many things, low pay, lack of growth, and motivation cause an employee to seek other employment. According to Module 7 of Employee Compensation, Incentive, and Benefits Strategies, compensation is something that needs to be monitored in order to keep up with current trends and make sure that your employees are receiving equitable pay.
To maintain communication, I would develop a survey to send to all employees asking employees to respond to job satisfaction questions. Making sure to include specific questions about the type of work performed, management style, and work/life balance. I would take the results and develop an employee retention plan.
