Employee Turnover Case Study

2. If you became the new manager at a restaurant with high employee turnover, what actions would you take to increase retention of employees?
If I was the manager at the restaurant with high employee turnover, the actions that I would take to increase retention of employees will be first find out the reasons why employees are leaving when conducting their exit interview (Chapter 5, page 192). By doing this I as manager can pinpoint the problem and fix it so no more employees leave and our talented employees stay with the company and don’t go with our competitors and so our employee turnover can decrease. If one of the reason why the employee leaves is because the pay is too little, then me as a manager I’ll have to offer competitive pay (Chapter
This means that it is costing the company $343,102.50 to replace the 85 machine operator position.

If an employee see’s that he or she can go up the ladder within the company then they’ll stay put knowing that one day they can take on a management
Showing all the interviews and survey responses will show management all the good and bad within the company so we can focus on making the good better and fix the bad. If there’s a lot of bad and that’s what causing employees to leave then management will have to address the issue so no more employees leave. If a problem is work-life balance then we’ll have to address it so employees can have a better work-life balance so they can be more with their family and possibly even work from home from time to time (chapter 3, page 96). Having a better work-life balance will encourage an existing employees to stay and will also encourage people to apply because they’ll see that the company respects their life outside of
