MAIN BODY
Identification of the problem in HRM
There is an increased competition in the marketplace about the employees. Organisations
everywhere are seeking to enlarge their business and are open for the new opportunities. From
the point of view of the human resource, there is an increased amount of the pressure fro the
company to retain their most talented employees and also offer them with the best advantages for
the benefit of the company for the longer period of time (Rawat and Raj, 2021). The main issue
in the function of the human resource is to retain the right employees in the suitable jobs while
also keeping in mind that the employees are the capital resources of the company. According to
the research, retaining the employees in the organisation has become more important than it was
before. In the existing marketplace, there are a number of opportunities for the people and so this
becomes a kind of disadvantage for the companies as the employees can leave the jobs if they do
not want to work or are not satisfied with the existing job. The main issue in the employee
retention are the salary dissatisfaction, increased job opportunities, unreal expectations of the
employees, no chances of the job rotation and the selection of the wrong candidate which creates
the hindrance in the success of the organisation.
Application of the creative and the innovative methods for the production of possible solutions
Employee engagement involves the detailed plan about the ways in which the employees of the
company can be retained. The strategy of the employee management includes the measuring of
the engagement, the goals and specific objectives for enhancing those metrics, the calculated
budget for the initiatives related to the engagement and the clear tactics for the ways to improve
the engagement. Applying of the innovative and the creative methods about the production of the
potential solutions includes starting with trust, which helps in engaging the employees, offering

the people with autonomy, examining the communication and the alignment, acquiring
information about the people, getting to know them and also displaying concern for them,
executing a peer to peer programme of the recognition for celebrating the small wins, providing
the opportunities related to learning and the continuous education, developing a work place
environment which is transparent, implementing the activities of the workplace in a flexible and
nimble manner and allowing the employees to give the positive feedbackMoreover, developing a
safe workplace for the team to work in a psychological way, creating a balances culture in the
culture of the company and be deliberate about it, increasing the development of the team and
encouraging a sense of the community (Al-Harazneh and Sila, 2021).
Plan for implementation of the solution
Encouraging the development of the skills
By encouraging the employees for the training will eventually help them to succeed at the jobs.
But the employees should also get acquired with the additional skills that will assist them in their
professional development. By doing this thing the employees can improve into their new job
roles in the organisation rater than looking for the opportunities anywhere else.
The plan for the implementation of the skill development includes
Defining the goals or objectives- It includes stating or creating the goals of the organisation and
then discussing them with the employees accordingly about their individual objectives.
Examining the prevailing strengths and the weaknesses- This thing can be done by carrying out
a SWOT analysis which helps in evaluating the skills that the employee currently have and
identifying the issues that must be worked upon.
Developing a plan of action- In this point, the ideas are converted into the plans that are
workable and includes the objective to develop particular actions to get completed.
Executing the plan- It involves the employees and the managers to making the reality out of
their ideas (Thite, 2018).
Development over time- It includes analysing on the success and the failures of the plan which
can help the company in the long run.
Also, there exist a learning management system (LMS), kind of a software which can prove out
to be very useful in keeping the track of the progress of the employees and add extra
developmental activities in assisting the staff to fulfil their objectives.

career development, poor relationship between the employer and the manager, lack of
recognition, work life balance, training and on boarding, poor well being of the individual,
