Moreover, there is poor pay level as compared to other retailing sector so that staff
members are not getting appropriate amount. As a result, it impact negatively on the business
functions and operations. Furthermore, it is essential to concentrate on dealing with regular

2017). In addition to this, in Imperial hotel there is little opportunities for promotion and
bonuses. There is high travelling cost exists that create major impact on work in central areas of
London market. Hence, staff members face issue to transport home at night. As a result, it is also
reason of high turnover in the business. There are several numbers of young and talented people
left job and they work with competitors of the chosen organisation. This is because, they are
paying better wages, working environments and many other benefits.
Due to this reason, staff turnover puts directly pressure on staffing budget because cost of
the Imperial hotel is also high. This is because, they need to continuously employ new staff
members at workplace because of turnover (Raj and Griffin, 2015). As a result, it also increase
