Research title
The working title of the research is “Employee turnover issues at the workplace and its
impact on business.”
Employees are the building blocks of the business organizations those give effort and
time for taking the business forward. It is the effort and hard work of the employees that helps
the businesses to strengthen their position in the market. Moreover, the experience and
qualification of the employees help the businesses reach and achieve greater heights when it
comes to achieving the goals and objectives. Hard working and efficient employees enables the
businesses to grow and gain competitive advantage and excel in their own sector and industry
(Collins et al. 2015).
Keeping in mind the significant role played by the employees, employee turnover
imposes negative consequences on the businesses. The gap created by the loss of employees
affects the overall performance and work flow of the business negatively because the
interruption takes time to be fulfilled. Employee turnover enforces the businesses to spend
additional financial resources on recruiting and selecting the new and right person that takes
time. During this time, if the businesses are unable to cope up with the loss, they are subjected to
heavy loss in terms of business growth, expansion, customers and minimized revenue (Dubey et
al. 2016).
The phenomenon of employee turnover might occur due to both voluntary and
involuntary reasons. However, irrespective of the reasons, the business is subjected to negative

employees whereas at times it is the circumstance of the business that enforces the employees to
leave the organization (Yadav and Rani 2015).
