This is where AQUM comes in. These ... Read More

A focus on mutual respect between employees and supervisors, appropriate pay, benefits and rewards, as well as recognition of performance excellence, are key ingredients of an effective employee retention program. The importance of putting such actions into practice generally is well understood by most managers, but actually doing them takes time, so they are often left for another day. However, the payoff of focusing on employee retention—in terms of increased performance, productivity, employee morale and quality of work, plus a reduction in both turnover and employee-related problems—is well worth the investment of time and ...

Despite much of policy makers’ time being devoted to the ongoing financial crisis and the resulting recession, there seems to be a great deal of resolve to tackle the pressing issue of healthcare reform. With this in mind, it is a good time to take a look at the healthcare industry. As a portion of total employment, the industry is relatively large, accounting for 10 percent of total employment in February 2008, up from 7.5 percent of employment in 1990. In contrast to most other industries, employment in healthcare has been remarkably resilient over the past three recessions. In fact, since the 1990 recession healthcare ...

In fact, Corporate Executive Board's Corporate Leadership Council conducted research that finds less than one quarter of employees (23 percent) exhibited a high level of "intent to stay," a leading measure of turnover, in the second ...

Employee turnover continues to be a concern for many hospitality firms. To gain insights about the relative costs of different aspects of turnover, we first compared the costs of turnover for different hotel types. Based on data gathered from 33 U.S. hotels, we found that the costs of turnover were generally higher for: (1) higher complexity jobs; (2) independent properties; (3) properties with relatively high room rates; (4) large properties; (5) high- occupancy properties; (6) properties in markets with a high cost-of-living index; and (7) properties in markets with a high unemployment rate.

information available on the costs of turnover, various calculators
for figuring out the numbers for your organization, and the techniques
necessary for improved employee retention.
