Abstract

Course name Instructor’s name Assignment due date Human Resource Management and Employee Turnover Introduction One of the key goals of human resource practices is to develop and maintain a capable workforce aligned with the needs and goals of the organization. Human resource practices have significant implications on how companies are able to maintain a stable workforce that meets the needs of the stakeholders. The current research paper seeks to establish the role of human resource practices in lowering employee turnover in organizations. By evaluating novel research in human resource, the paper will demonstrate the factors affecting the human resource practices that have the potential to improve the workplace for the employees (Islam et al., 2023). Key evidence from research shows that industry-related factors, training factors, and sustainability have significant implications on the capacity of companies to lower turnover. Firms employing human resource methodologies that align with the needs of the millennial workforce are more equipped to increase employee retention and lower the rates of turnover. Organizations should consider industry-related factors, training, and sustainability goals when developing strategies to lower employee turnover and reduce the related costs of low employee retention. Background Employee turnover rate is an important factor affecting the capacity of inorganizations to meet their performance goals. It refers to the rate at which employees leave the industry or organization in search of a better working environment. Determining the factors affecting employee turnover is important in human resource management since turnover is expensive to organizations (Bresk, 2023). Companies with high-turnover rates experience high costs in human resource activities including the hiring and training of employees in organizations. Businesses have to consider the measures related to their industry that affect the rate of turnover of employees and the response to the issues causing the workers to leave the organization. Consequently, research on employee turnover seeks to establish the measures that companies could implement to lower employee turnover and increase the retention of workers in the industry. One of the measures of the effectiveness of human resource practices is the rate or turnover in an organization since it determines the cost of human resource operations in the company. New concepts in human resource turnover affect the practices that companies should implement to improve their capacity to retain workers in the workforce. They determine the issues in the modern work environment that determine the decisions of employees to leave the industry and the measures that companies must take to improve the working environment in the company. Employees’ retention rates are sensitive to issues affecting their work environment and satisfaction levels with the organization (Islam et al., 2023). Consequently, the process of hiring, training, and promoting employees should align with evidence of the changing interests of the employees and their effect on rendition levels. The 21st century employee differs from workers in the previous decades in various ways that affect satisfaction levels for the employees. Measures to promote the workplace must align with evidence on the ways through which the interests of employees change in time, industry, and the organization. Novel Information Industry-specific factors have significant implications on the need for companies to adopt novel management practices to maintain profitability. Determining the factors influencing an industry in particular geographic locations allows human resource managers to increase the effectiveness of the companies in retaining employees. Turnover affects the profitability of organizations by increasing the overall operation cost related to employees. Aburumman et al. (2020) noted that the increase in turnover in the banking industry in Jordan has significant implications on the competitiveness of organizations in the sector. One the factors affecting the industry is the low retention of highly trained and experienced workers in the sector. Their motivation to leave organizations and the industry in general makes it challenging for the companies to maintain profitability. It is fundamental that the organizations develop strategies to increase the retention of workers in the workforce by determining factors that determine turnover rates of the workers. The study by Aburumman et al. (2020) was conducted in Jordanian banks and involved 394 employees to determine the factors affecting employee retention. The study wanted to investigate the determinants of retention and, therefore, the reasons for high turnover rates in the industry. The researchers hypothesized that if human resource practices improved these factors, they could effectively lower turnover rates and improve the competitiveness of companies in the banking industry. The findings showed that human resource factors are critical in determining the competitiveness of organizations in the banking sector. Companies can seek to improve their profitability and capacity to meet the needs of the employees by effectively promoting their ability to compete against other players. Important considerations in this area include the compensation, performance appraisals, promotion strategies, training, and job satisfaction. Human resource practices determine the relationships that companies build with their employees. High compensation was an important factor that determined the potential of employees to leave the industry and seek alternative employment. Additionally, the findings revealed that companies that developed fair appraisal models and increased promotion strategies were capable of meeting the needs of their employees and lower the turnover rates. It is important that companies use relevant information concerning their employees’ needs to determine the appropriate appraisal models and promotion strategies best equipped to maintain low-turnover rates. According to the findings of the study, the factors affecting turnover included the human resource practices and their impact on the level of workers’ satisfaction with their workplace. Aburumman et al. (2020) noted that human resource practices have significant implications on turnover and the retention of employees. They showed the link between profitability, performance, and employee retention in the banking sector of the industry. The effectiveness of the human resource approaches in organizations is important since it determines the experiences of employees in the workplace. One of the methods affecting human resource management and leadership is the level of training for the employees performing the human resource roles in companies. The study by Bresk (2023) used desktop research to investigate the role of human resource training on the turnover of employees in companies in London. The goal of the study was to investigate the level of impact that training has on the capacity of organizations to retain their employees. Investments in employee training have associated costs including the capital and labor hours necessary to implement the relevant training that managers and employees in this role. Additionally, training promotes the capacity of human resource leaders to obtain knowledge and experience on the novel issues affecting the retention of workers in the industry. Since...
