Turnover in the Workplace

Turnover within the Work Place

Based on the large turnover of employees leaving the organization for reasons like: low moral, stress, working long hours, lack of growth, and no support or communication from management. All of these and other issues can cause good employees to: retire early, transferring to another organization, or resign. It was clear that there was a problem within the organization that Management was not addressing or ignoring. Management did not have the resources or did not want to face the problems within the organization. When moral is low, you can feel it within the organization. The normal potlucks, luncheons, or even sending cards around are replaced with a more non-communicative and negative atmosphere. A person can feel that they are not appreciated or wanted.

These feelings can be felt by everyone in the work environment, and can contribute to low productivity and creating stress and depression within the workforce. If an employee has ever worked in an organization that had some type of management support and high moral in the workplace, then they would know the different between the two types of organization. There are also some employees that have worked for only one organization and unfortunately this can be a disadvantage for that employee. In some cases employees never leave their first workplace until retirement or resigning from that organization.

The issue of high turnover, low moral, lack of communication, and other problems in the organization can be addressed by management. The organization and Management can work together to support there employees and reduce the high turnovers. They can provide more training, support. togetherness (luncheons, recognizing a sick employee by passing a card around for all employees to sign) and providing upward mobility for the employees to grow and remain in the organization. Seeing that employees are freely talking and sharing a laugh together shows that the moral level has increased to a start level of communicating openly. More employees smiling at each other, talking more about their weekends and family plans, and a warmer greeting setting within the workplace.
