Increasing employee turnover – Employee are the assets of any organization who ready
to work collectively at workplace if they motivated. In case organization is not following talent
management strategies then it could be challenging to regulate its business. It has seen that
employee turnover of Morrison is increasing day by day due to lack of satisfaction and

To resolve this issue, management of Morrison should behave politely with their
employees, understand their problems, and providing optimum solution that can help to increase
the business productivity and maintain good relations (Meyer and Grosse, 2018).
Challenging working environment – For each organization it is important to have good
working environment where employees can participate in activities and perform it well. This
directly impacts on business industry as low profits and competitive challenges. It has seen that if
environment is not appropriate then it will directly impact on employee’s working. In relation to
Morrison, employer noticed that employee is not working well as they faced challenges to accept

sales and production.
To resolve issue of challenging working environment at selected workplace, employer

Morrison, HR management can use this strategy to influence their staff by creating effective
working environment and managing work accordingly (Gibbons, 2018).

Managers of venture should motivate their human resources to get their task completed in an
effective manner. If managers make them feel motivated, then employees will be like to work

contribution towards success of company. In relation to Morrison, HR management should fill
employee’s needs and provide various benefits which could help to influence and motivate the
staff. This can help to increase the business performance and productivity effectively (Amoako,
2019).
