While all business leaders face problems with voluntary employee turnover, fast food business leaders often face turnover rates at twice the national average. Using Weiss and Cropanzano's affective events theory, this exploratory multiple case study detailed the investigation into strategies that fast food business leaders use to establish an appealing working environment that reduces employee turnover. A purposeful sampling process identified 9 fast food business leaders from 3 different fast food organizations within the Omaha, Nebraska metro area who had successfully established a positive working environment that reduced employee turnover. Data collection included semistructured interviews and review of company documents. Using Yin's 5 step analytic approach, 3 themes (fairness, communication, and trust) emerged relative to fast food business leaders' strategies to establish an appealing working environment that reduces employee turnover. Fairness included fair interpersonal treatment, regulation, and wage setting. Communication included training, employee engagement, and corrective actions. Fast food business leaders used trust as a feedback mechanism for their fairness and communications strategies. Business leaders using strategies of fairness, communication, and trust to establish appealing working environments that reduce employee turnover could increase profitability and productivity within the fast food industry. The implication for positive social change is that more consistent employment and less work-related stress increases the potential for employees and their families to become more involved within their communities.

Organizations globally are spending millions of dollars replacing information technology (IT) professionals. IT professionals, who possess technical skills and competencies that interconnect business processes, are costly to replace. There are direct and indirect costs associated when an IT professional leaves, such as advertising fees, headhunting fees, and project delays. Lacking a firm understanding of the reasons why IT professionals leave their positions, many business leaders do not have strategies for reducing turnover rates. Building on Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory and March and Simon's process model of turnover, this exploratory multiple case study sought to identify the strategies that business leaders view as essential for retaining IT professionals. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 10 IT managers in the Houston, Texas, area; participants were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Thematic analysis revealed eight strategies for addressing turnover: compensation, opportunity and advancement, rewards and recognition, relationship with the supervisor and coworkers, training and development, communications, meaningful work, and flexible work schedule. Findings from this study may contribute to positive social change by providing business leaders with more insight about how they can retain IT professionals. The high turnover among IT professionals affects individuals, families, communities, organizations, and the economy. Implementing strategies to reduce turnover rates can help keep individual employees and their family members together and reduce the unemployment rates.

The oversight of systematic approaches to reducing voluntary employee turnover decreases educational institutions’ budgets and performance. In the United States, public schools spend over $2.22 billion annually in voluntary employee turnover costs. The purpose of this qualitative single case study was to explore strategies public school leaders use to reduce voluntary employee turnover. The population consisted of 3 leaders from 1 public school located in Georgia, with successful experience reducing voluntary employee turnover. The conceptual framework for this study was grounded in Vroom’s expectancy theory. The data collection process included semistructured interviews and organizational documents and artifacts. Data were analyzed using a thematic analysis. Three themes emerged from the data collected: building a collaborative and supportive work environment, creating work motivation, and implementing incentives, rewards, and professional development. The implications for positive social change include the potential to reduce the local government’s expenditures associated with the replacement of employees and to increase resources for supporting social initiatives and more effective instruction for students in the community.

Registered Nurse (RN) turnover is costly for hospitals and healthcare facilities. The problem that healthcare administrators face today is their inability to retain nurses for long periods of time and the detrimental effects that come from the lack of retention. The purpose of this quantitative secondary data analysis is to explore the relationship between the retention of RNs and the geographic regions in which they work. The theoretical framework for this study was Barney's concept of viewing people as resources. Deidentified secondary data of RNs was utilized from the Healthforce Center at the University of California San Francisco to probe differences in retention rates between full-time and part-time RNs and the differences in retention rates between new graduate and specialty RNs in California geographic regions. The data was analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistical techniques to perform a t test of independent means. As a result, it was determined that there was no significance in geographic regions in California influencing the retention rates of full and part-time RNs neither was there a significant finding that geographic regions in California influence the retention rates of new graduate RNs or specialty nurses. It was concluded that the retention of RNs is determined by how well they are maintained and managed. A recommendation would be to investigate retention strategies that create longevity among RNs. This study can contribute to positive social change by having a cohesiveness that builds trust and creates a better work environment and positive outcomes for healthcare facilities which will reduce overall cost.

Employee turnover is extremely costly to any business in terms of training costs and loss of pertinent knowledge and experience. This paper explores the contributors to the high rates of employee turnover seen in public accounting by focusing on the Big Four accounting firms, Deloitte, EY, KPMG, and PricewaterhouseCoopers. Employee retention is a factor of corresponding employee motivation, as seen through the analysis of popular motivational theories and their applications to a career in public accounting. This paper also delves into the possible contributors to the differences in retention rates between males and females in this occupation. Lastly, an analysis of current firm programs and initiatives is conducted, with suggestions for ulterior areas of focus and improvements to current programs. The popular motivational theories explored signify important areas of focus for current and suggested programs. The opportunities presented by effective and accessible mentors are of extreme importance to reducing turnover and aiding an employee in developing ownership over a firm’s mission. Additionally, stereotypes associated with females in the business world and the inherent work of public accounting inhibits young professionals from establishing longevity with a firm. The current programs offered by the Big Four firms are likely to be enhanced and improved upon by new generations of professionals entering into the higher ranks of leadership.

Flexibility in the workplace is no longer perceived as a benefit to employees but as a requirement for organizations to remain competitive. Financial compensation alone may be insufficient to encourage employee retention. The purpose of this qualitative, single case study was to explore the strategies that corporate accounting and finance leaders implement to promote workplace flexibility for increasing accountants' retention. The conceptual framework for this study was Karasek's demand control support framework. The research sample consisted of 6 corporate accounting and finance leaders who had a history of successfully implementing a workplace flexibility program. Data analysis consisted of compiling the data, coding for emergent and a priori codes, disassembling the data into common codes, reassembling the data into themes, interpreting the meaning, and reporting the themes. The major themes from the findings of this study were leadership support and commitment, organization-wide tailored flexibility, clear communication of expectations, trust and cooperation, employee evaluation based on results and deliverables, and the use of technological advances to enhance team collaboration. Organizations and business leaders can use the findings from this study to create competitive advantage by enhancing their existing flexibility policies or to implement formal workplace flexibility policies that may help to reduce the stress and strain that employees experience in attempting to balance their personal and professional life. The implications for social change include creating a balance between employees' jobs and other responsibilities that allows employees to contribute positively to their family and the local community.

Employee turnover remains a ubiquitous phenomenon that could negatively impact the operations and profitability of any business entity. For decades, managers, business leaders, and individuals in academia have devoted considerable time and resources to understanding and reducing the phenomenon. This qualitative multiple case study was conducted to explore the successful strategies that restaurant managers used to reduce employee turnover. The population sample consisted of 4 restaurant managers from Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago who had successfully used strategies to reduce employee turnover. The conceptual framework used was the transformational leadership model. Data for the study were gathered using semistructured interviews, employee records, and company documents. The data were analyzed using cross-case synthesis. The findings included 4 emergent themes. Two themes were tethered to the transformational leadership model with the focus on the constituents of individualized consideration, inspirational motivation, and intellectual stimulation. One theme was linked to the transactional leadership style under the element of management by exception active approach. The 4th theme was unexpected and tethered to practice; actions involved the use of various labor configurations to reduce employee turnover. The results of the study might be beneficial to managers not only in the restaurant industry but within the wider business ecology. With the implementation of successful strategies to reduce employee turnover, business operations and profitability could be spared degradation from operational disruptions due to frequent recruitment and labor shortages. The improved margins could be reinvested towards improving the communities and the lives of workers through positive changes in wages, therefore, contributing to positive social change.

Many healthcare organizations are investigating the reasons for nurse turnover and seeking ways to retain the nurses they already employ. The primary deliverable of the DNP project was a nurse retention plan. In order to devise the plan, the DNP student conducted a literature review, collected qualitative data from representative nursing staff members, and assembled an expert panel of senior leaders to secure permissions to implement the nurse retention plan. The purpose of the project was to develop a nurse retention plan for the emergency department and propose it to an expert panel of nursing administration at the project site. The concepts of nursing satisfaction, theory of human capital, nurse dissatisfaction, and nurse turnover were used for this DNP project. At the practicum site, 36.7% of the emergency department nurses (n =22) participated in the DNP student's focus groups. Coding was used and the themes that emerged from the focus groups were that nurses feel stuck and want the opportunity to advance, there was a lack of communication and pay was a determining factor regarding whether nurses plan to stay employed in the project site's emergency department. Recommendations to decrease voluntary nursing turnover included more flexible scheduling, forming a scheduling committee in the department, providing for more nursing autonomy, and the sharing of emergency department staff throughout the health system all of which were accepted by the expert panel for evaluation and implementation. This project contributes to positive social change, as nurse satisfaction and decreased nursing turnover has been linked to increased patient satisfaction and better patient outcomes.

Employees who choose to leave employment cause significant challenges for organizations. Compounded challenges exist when employee retention strategies are not effective, affecting job satisfaction and personnel replacement costs as the organization continues to lose qualified and valuable staff. This single case study, built on a psychological contract theory framework, was focused on effective employee retention strategies to reduce voluntary turnover in a for-profit, higher education institution located in the Midwestern United States. The population consisted of 12 employees, 6 Student Success employees and 6 Student Success managers, who shared their unique perspectives. Methodological triangulation was achieved through semistructured interviews with the 12 participants, review of the institution's archival data, and examination of the institution's mission statement. The data analysis process consisted of a manual and systematic coding procedure for the 3 sources of inquiry. Three strategies emerged in the findings: relationship management, work environment, and career development. Moreover, participants agreed that the employee-employer relationship was critically important to job satisfaction and developing effective retention strategies. The study has implications for positive social change, in that higher educational institutions may apply the findings to create a more enjoyable work environment and retain happier employees, thereby promoting financial, economic, and social improvements for communities.

Replacing an employee can cost a firm as much as 200% of that employee's annual salary, and small business owners may be especially sensitive to voluntary employee turnover due to their limited resources. The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore the strategies that some owners of small professional services businesses in the midwestern region of the United States used to reduce voluntary employee turnover in their firms. The conceptual framework for this doctoral study was Barney's resource-based theory. Data were collected from 4 participants whose firms were at least 5 years old and had experienced lower turnover than the average as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, using semistructured interviews and a review of company policies and procedures found in employee handbooks, as well as publicly available information on company websites. Data were analyzed by compiling all the data, using coding to organize the data, identifying themes that emerged, and then making observations about those themes as they pertained to the research. Member checking, along with the review of company documents, served as methodological triangulation for reliability and validity of the research. The 3 major themes that surfaced were how voluntary employee turnover impacts small professional services firms, how hiring reduced voluntary employee turnover, and how corporate culture and employee engagement reduced voluntary employee turnover. Data about strategies for reducing voluntary employee turnover may bring about positive social change in local economies by helping to ensure stability in local commerce and national economies by supporting the success of small businesses that account for many businesses in the United States.

In a competitive retail environment, retail store managers (RSMs) need to retain retail customer service employees (RCSE) to maximize sales and reduce employee turnover costs. Servant leadership (SL) is a preferred leadership style within customer service organizations; however, there is disagreement regarding the usefulness of SL in the retail industry. The theoretical framework for this correlational study is Greenleaf's SL theory. Seventy-four of 109 contacted human resources managers (HRMs) from a Fortune 500 United States retailer, with responsibility for evaluating leadership competencies of the RSMs they support, completed Liden's Servant Leadership Questionnaire. RCSE turnover rates were available from company records. To analyze the correlation between the 3 SL constructs and RCSE turnover, multiple regression analysis with Pearson's r providing sample correlation coefficients were used. Individually the 3 constructs FIRST (beta = .083, p = .692), EMPOWER (beta = -.076, p = .685), and GROW (beta = -.018, p = .917) were not statistically significant to predict RCSE turnover. The study multiple regression model with F (3,74) = .071, p = .98, R2 = .003 failed to demonstrate a significant correlation between SL constructs and turnover. Considering these findings, the HRMs could hire or train for different leadership skills that may be more applicable to effectively lead a retail sales force. In doing so, the implications for positive social change may result in RCSE retention leading to economic stability and career growth.

Many investigators have documented the impact of high attrition rates on an organization's ability to deliver its expected results. However, limited information is available regarding the efficacy of a specific bundle of variables, which would support a leader's ability to influence voluntary employee turnover. This quantitative study investigated the effectiveness of a 60-day treatment implemented to address the problem of voluntary employee turnover in a diverse retail environment. The research questions examined the effectiveness of an increase in communication, answering, recognition, and training on voluntary employee turnover and job satisfaction in a diverse retail environment. The theoretical foundation of the study was the job embeddedness theory, advocating closer community ties, organizational fit, and sacrifice to support retention. A pretest-posttest control group design, in which a self-designed survey instrument, along with the short form of the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, were used to gather data from a diverse group of retail employees (N = 279). Pearson product-moment correlational analysis was used for both pretest and posttest measurements, which showed evidence of a moderate association between the independent and dependent variables, and lead to a rejection of the null hypothesis. Based on the observed increase in retention rates, the intervention of the 60-day treatment was deemed moderately successful. Positive social change will be evident not only within diverse organizations, but also within those which are increasingly becoming more diverse, as they seek to design platforms which would afford their influential leaders the ability to increase their current levels of communication, answering, recognition, and training.

In Peru, this figure is above 15%, which generates high cost overruns for organizations. Companies with the highest turnover are the service companies, and the operational staff is regarded the key factor of these organizations. Previous research has been carried out on this issue, and the solutions are models with the objective of retaining employees, using Employer Branding, Endomarketing, and Talent Management techniques. However, for this study, a model based on the combination of these techniques was designed and applied. Thus, it is intended that the model managed to meet the concerns raised and to reduce costs in companies. The model was applied in a company in the fast food sector, aiming the frontline/operational personnel of the organization. The results showed that an agile recruitment process and development of personnel training significantly reduces high rates of personnel turnover and the costs presented by this. Additionally, it is proven that the leadership of store managers plays an important role in increasing employee satisfaction and commitment within the organization.

<p>Employee turnover affects retail organizations in the form of lower productivity, decreased profitability, and reduced sustainability. In 2014, organizations lost over $11 billion in tangible and intangible assets as the result of employee turnover. High employee turnover rates have an adverse effect on productivity, which lead to unsustainable business practices. The number of retail employees who quit their jobs each month increased from 432,000 in December 2016 to 464,000 in January 2017, which indicates that some managers lack strategies to reduce employee turnover. Using the transformational leadership theory, the purpose of this single case study was to explore effective strategies used by retail store managers from El Paso, Texas to decrease employee turnover. Participants were purposefully selected because of their experience implementing effective employee turnover reduction strategies; they reduced employee turnover from 24% in 2012 to 15% in 2016. Data were collected via face-to-face semistructured interviews with 10 managers and the review of organizational documents on employee turnover. Data were analyzed using inductive coding of phrases, word frequency searches, and theme interpretation. Three themes emerged: supportive leadership reduced employee turnover, managing personnel scheduling decreased employee turnover, and competitive compensation reduced employee turnover. Reducing employee turnover contributes to social change by providing retail store managers with valuable insight that can lead to enhanced sustainability, improved organizational growth, and increased profitability, which might promote prosperity for local families and the community.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2001.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The South African Air Force (SAAF) is loosing pilots at an alarming rate and if not addressed with a matter of urgency will become the most critical problems facing the Air Force in the future. This study analyses the problem in comparison to other Air Forces, and how airline hiring and lack of Air Force leadership are contributing to the current situation. Employee retention is a problem inherent in most organisations. The study also examines the reasons that motivate employees to leave any organisation and what world-class organisations are doing to reduce employee turnover. This is used as a logical starting point towards finding a long-term solution as to how the Air Force can retain its pilots. This solution includes increasing pay, dealing with quality of life issues and by examining job and career issues. The paper concludes that the implementation of a multi-faceted solution will allow the Air Force and other organisations to retain its essential core of pilots/employees in spite of increased competition from other employers.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Suid-Afrikaanse Lugmag (SALM) verloor tans sy vlieëniers teen 'n hewige tempo, en as hierdie toestand nie dadelik en met erns aangespreek word nie, sal dit seer sekerlik die mees kritiese probleem word wat die SALM in die toekoms in die gesig sal staar. Hierdie geskryf staan te doel om die probleem te analiseer vergelyke te trek met ander Lugmagte, asook hoe lugredery aanstellings en die te kort aan Lugmag leierskap die huidige situasie vererger. Werknemer retensie is 'n inherente probleem in meeste organisasies. Hierdie studie ondersoek verder, die redes wat werknemers motiveer om 'n betrokke organisasie te verlaat, asook wat wêreldklas organisasies tans doen om werknemer omset te verminder. Dit word dan as 'n logiese vertrekpunt gebruik om 'n langtermyn oplossing te vind waarmee die SALM sy vlieëniers sal kan behou. Die oplossing sluit in verhoogde en meer kompeterende salaris pakkette, beter hanteering van kwessies met betrekking tot die standaard van lewensgehalte asook die ondersoek na beter werksomstanighede en loopbaan moontlikhede. Die geskryf sluit af met die gevolgtrekking dat slegs die implementering van 'n multi-faset oplossing die SALM, en ander organisasies, in staat sal stel om sy/hulle essensiële kern van vlieëniers/werknemers te behou, ten spyte van verhoogde kompetisie van ander werkgewers.

La indústria hotelera és un dels sectors que dóna feina a més persones a tot el món i el capital humà, és un dels actius més valuosos a causa de la naturalesa de les seves interaccions. Paradoxalment, la indústria hotelera pren la davantera en comparació amb altres indústries pel que fa al seu elevat índex de rotació de personal. Avui dia, aquest escenari s’agreuja amb el perfil de la noves generacions emergents en el mercat laboral que es caracteritzen per tenir una perspectiva professional diferent en comparació de les precedents. Amb aquesta premissa, moltes empreses estan tenint dificultat per comprendre les necessitats d'aquesta generació la qual cosa genera elevats costos organitzacionals. La tesi doctoral té com a objectiu contribuir a la indústria hotelera mitjançant un enfocament centrat en l'anàlisi de la força laboral dels Millennials des de dues perspectives altament vinculades entre si. D'una banda, comprendre quines són les seves motivacions laborals basades en valors utilitzant l'Escala EVAT, i d'altra banda, estudiant la influència dels seus trets de personalitat i els aspectes més valorats a l'hora de busca feina utilitzant el qüestionari de trets de personalitat Big Five. Tots dos instruments es seleccionen per les seves propietats psicomètriques. La investigació s'aplica a estudiants universitaris de turisme i presta especial atenció a algunes característiques clau com el gènere o l'experiència laboral prèvia per determinar si poden influir en el comportament dels estudiants. Els mètodes emprats s'utilitzen com a eines de diagnòstic per ajudar a entendre les noves forces laborals en funció dels seus valors i trets de personalitat, així com els aspectes més demandats a l'hora de buscar feina. Els resultats destaquen la importància de prestar atenció a algunes característiques clau com ara el gènere i l'experiència laboral prèvia. L'aplicació d'aquests elements permet als departaments de recursos humans comprendre millor els treballadors i crear un camí que pot ser útil per elaborar estratègies més precises que contribueixin a tenir una organització més saludable. Finalment, és important ressaltar que aquest enfocament és adequat per a ser aplicat en altres sectors i grups d'individus.<br>La industria hotelera es uno de los sectores que emplea a más personas en todo el mundo y el capital humano, es uno de los activos más valiosos debido a la naturaleza de sus interacciones. Paradójicamente, la industria hotelera toma la delantera en comparación con otras industrias en lo que respecta a su elevado índice de rotación de personal. Hoy en día, este escenario se agravia con el perfil de las nuevas generaciones emergentes en el mercado laboral que se caracterizan por tener una perspectiva profesional diferente en comparación con sus precedentes. Esto provoca que las empresas tengan dificultades para comprender las necesidades de esta generación lo cual genera elevados costes organizacionales. La tesis doctoral tiene como objetivo contribuir a la industria hotelera mediante un enfoque centrado en el análisis de los Millennials que se incorporan al mercado laboral desde dos perspectivas altamente vinculadas entre sí. Por un lado, comprender cuáles son sus motivaciones laborales basadas en valores utilizando la Escala EVAT, y por otro lado, estudiando la influencia de sus rasgos de personalidad y los aspectos más valorados a la hora de busca trabajo utilizando el cuestionario de rasgos de personalidad Big Five. Ambos instrumentos se seleccionan debido a sus propiedades psicométricas. La investigación se aplica a estudiantes universitarios de turismo y presta especial atención a algunas características clave como el género o la experiencia laboral previa para determinar si pueden influir en el comportamiento de los estudiantes. Los métodos empleados se utilizan como herramientas de diagnóstico para ayudar a comprender mejor a los nuevos profesionales en función de sus valores y rasgos de personalidad, así como los aspectos más demandados a la hora de buscar trabajo. Los resultados destacan la importancia de prestar atención a algunas características clave tales como el género y la experiencia laboral previa. La aplicación de estos elementos permite a los departamentos de recursos humanos comprender mejor a los trabajadores y crear un camino que puede ser útil para elaborar estrategias más precisas que contribuyan a tener una organización más saludable. Finalmente, es importante resaltar que este enfoque es adecuado para ser aplicado en otros sectores y grupos de individuos.<br>The hospitality industry is one of the sectors that employs more people across the globe and human capital is the one of the most valuable asset due to the nature of its interactions. Paradoxically, the hospitality industry takes the lead when compared to other industries in regards to its elevated turnover ratio. Nowadays, this scenario is even worst due to the profile of the new workforces’ generations, which are characterized by having a different professional perspective in comparison with previous generations. With the above scenario, a handful of companies are struggling when it comes to understanding the needs of this generation, which leads to high organizational costs. The doctoral thesis aims to contribute to the hospitality industry by means of an approach focused on analyzing the Millennials’ workforces from two perspectives highly linked among them. On the one side, understanding which their work motivation are based on values using the EVAT Scale. On the other side, linking the influence of their personality traits and the most value aspects when they look for a job using the Big Five personality traits questionnaire. Both instruments are selected due to their psychometric properties. The research is applied into tourism university students and it pays special attention to some key characteristics such as gender or previous work experience in order to determine if they may influence the students’ behavior. The methods employed are used as a diagnosis tools to bring light into the new workforces based on their work values and personality traits as well as the most demanded aspects when looking for a job. Findings highlight the importance of paying attention to some key characteristics such as gender and previous work experience. The application of these elements allows human resource departments to understand better employees and create a path that can be useful to draft more accurate strategies contributing to have a healthier organization. Finally, it is important to highlight that this approach is suitable to be applied into other sectors and groups of individuals.

The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore strategies that managers in the retail grocery industry use in reducing short-tenured employee attrition in the West Midland states in the United Kingdom. Participants were 4 store managers who had managerial experience in the retail grocery industry, worked as a retail store manager in the West Midlands, and had experience implementing effective strategies to reduce employee attrition. The Herzberg 2-factor theory was the conceptual framework. Semistructured interviews were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using Yin's 5-step data analysis process. The major themes were: training and development, enriched job responsibility, human resources intervention, and employee recognition. Participants relied on training and development, enriched job responsibility, human resources intervention and, employee recognition to reduce employee attrition. The results may provide retail grocery leaders with strategies for reducing short-tenured employee attrition in grocery stores, which may reduce adverse effects on the industry's profitability. Implications for positive social change include improving the quality of life of the community and citizens; improved levels of satisfaction in quality of life translate into developing and maintaining positive relationships with family and friends, as well as helping the local communities and the economy.

碩士<br>國立彰化師範大學<br>商業教育學系<br>101<br>This paper aims to the problem of high turnover rate of hospital registered nurses in Taiwan. For further investigation and analysis, the key factors to reduce the turnover rate of the registered nurses in regional teaching hospitals are constructed. This research is studied through literature reviews and in-depth interview with experts and scholars. The Delphi technique is employed in this study by inviting eighteen professional experts for discussion on the issue in group. The data collected by the Delphi Technique survey method for three times are inductively processed and statistically analyzed. As a result, 14 key factors classified in 5 major aspects are obtained to reduce the turnover rate of the registered nurses in the hospitals. The five major aspects are to increase hospital nurses' welfare and salaries, to appropriately allocate hospital nurses’ work, to reduce the work load of the hospital nurses, to improve the working environment of the hospital nurses, and to create a friendly organizational culture. It is sincerely hoped that the results of this study can be used as a reference for the Taiwanese Government and the medical institutions in policy making to reduce the turnover rate of the hospital registered nurses and in measure taking to execute employee retention.
