is not providing non financial incentives to staff, which lead to high employee turnover. It is a
type of reward that is not paid by manager as part of a staff’s salary. This problem within chosen
firm affect abilities and motivational level of applicants as they try to switch other job
opportunities where management would understand their needs and provide incentives in forms
of reward. Without motivating and encouraging workers, firm would not be able to operate their
business operations and functions in roofing industry. It is quite different from financial
incentives that firm can provide to each worker on the basis of his or her performance at
workplace. Chosen problem is related to motivation as key source of business success within
market place, where organization operated since for so long. It affects positive aspect of venture
in negative manner and may be decrease its performance as compare to competitors.
Other possible issues Erich’s Roofing face in management of remuneration

in firm is accountable for providing salary and additional payments related to work of incentives

to its employees, which increase turnover issues with staff that decrease sales and profit margin
of business. Format of remuneration management is consisting with similar international
practice. Compensation administration within chosen company is lack concentrate on staff
performance, which makes them unable to motivate people and retain skilled candidates for
longer period of time.

 Organization will solve above problem when Human resource manager provide non
financial incentives to each applicant based on his or her hard work and extra efforts
during intense competitive environment within roofing industry. It can be said that this
suggestion is quite beneficial for firm in term of motivating their staff and reducing
degree of employee turnover. It can be considered as key strength of this option that help
to retain skilled and talented applicants at workplace for long period of time
(Stefanovska-Petkovska & Bojadziev, 2017). While, the weak point of this suggestion is
that it does not provide assure improvement in individual performance.
 Erich Roofing organization, management must conduct survey at workplace once in a
week because it help to identify who are employee of the year and then take decision to
give competitive base pay in term of incentives. The best things about this option is that it
helps betterment in productivity, on the other hand leads competition between two or
more workers, which will create conflict at workplace.
Detail based on implementation of chosen option
Above options has been given in context of Erich as one of the largest roofing
organizations in construction industry that help to overcome turnover problems with existing
workforce. Here, all preferred suggestion implementation in detail can be discussed, including
form of remuneration plan. It is a type of compensation and payment given to knowledgeable
applicants for their services and contribution to achieve objectives as well as to gain competitive
edge. The first option will be implementing in company without any difficulties in which
management support is require. For example, manager by conducting meeting will ask leader
about how each staff member is performed. This will make him or her, more capable to develop
plan for incentive distribution. Human resource administration and its team members must
contribute to make this plan successful. They should develop incentive programme as
remuneration plan, which in return boost employee’s motivation level and reduce turnover
problems causes within Erich's Roofing enterprise (Spisakova, 2019).
The second option will also apply practically in organization that provides a lot of
benefits to business in term of improving their brand image in sector and increasing sales rather
than before. Through formal investigation and monitoring, manager would be able to plan further
incentive and compensation plan, which will create positive work environment in overall firm.
