HRM440 Colorado State Solution to High Turnover Rates Assignment
Throughout the years, acceptable turnover rates have been debated. In 2007, Bernadette Kenny (Links to an external site.), a writer for Forbes, stated that acceptable turnover rates are those that fall below 15%. This 15% turnover rate, even to date, has remained a good indicator of whether or not recruitment, selection, and retention efforts have been effective.
At the end of 2016, it was noted that your organization had a turnover rate of 40% among new hires. This turnover rate was extremely alarming and has in return cost your organization a great deal of money. The Chief Executive Officer of your company sees many problems with this turnover rate and thus would like you (the Human Resource Director) to provide a 2- to 3-page memo of the following:
- What improvements can be made to the hiring process, even before recruitment begins?
- What methods of recruitment can be utilized to effectively select the right candidates?
- What issues has your company run into in regards to recruiting employees?
Your paper should be 3-4 pages in length, not including the title or references pages, with support from 2-3 scholarly sources. The CSU-Global library is a good place to find these sources. Be sure your paper conforms to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing & APA. (Links to an external site.)
