Discussion Separation and Retention

Separation and Retention

Juanita should seek to reduce both voluntary and involuntary turnover resulting from lack of advancement opportunities, staff conflict, or external appealing job offers. This will help the organization to retain and develop its human resources hence rendering it more competitive and profitable. Juanita may achieve this through a number of ways including examining and reviewing employee’s benefits and salary, employee recognition, creating an environment that encourages flexibility and trust, having clear organizational goals, and investing in employee development and training (McElroy, Morrow & Rude, 2011). Therefore, Juanita is entitled to address these issues on time because it may be costly for the organization to hire and train new employees.   

Forms of Organizational Policies to Avoid Risks of Discipline

Because of the legal and ethical risks associated with unfair or discriminatory employee discharge, the organizations must develop policies and standards to guide supervisors and managers on how to discipline and discharge low-performing employees (Hopkin, 2017). First, employees should be rewarded on the basis of their performance in order to encourage hard work. Therefore, this will encourage high-performing employees by rewarding the more while low performing employees will not meet expectations hence they will feel demotivated. Secondly, the set goals must be achievable within the stipulated deadlines, failure to which the responsible person will be rated low. In addition, the HRM must communicate consequences of violating the set rules to all employee.  Therefore, low performers will have no room in the organization since they are unable to follow the rules or meet acceptable performance rating.
