ORGB 201: Research on Employee Retention & Organizational Behaviour

This assignment focuses on identifying business problems related to employee retention and turnover, and proposes strategies to address them. It highlights issues such as lack of progress, recognition, poor work-life balance, limited decision-making authority, and negative employer-employee relationships. The research includes a sample survey designed to gather data from employees regarding their perceptions of these factors. The survey questions cover topics such as supervisor communication, training, job role understanding, compensation, career path clarity, company referral willingness, work-life balance satisfaction, and management feedback responsiveness. The aim is to understand the key drivers of employee retention and provide insights for organizations to improve their retention strategies.

Problem statement
What strategies might some business owners use to retain their employees and reduce
employee’s turnover?
Identified business problems
Employee retention means the ability of a company to retain its employees. Employee
turnover is a deeper concept as it may be related to different topics such as low employee
morale, Low job satisfaction and factors (Kim, 2015).
Lack of progress
If the employees of a company cannot be showed a career path and how they can get
opportunities for growth in the company, the employees may leave because they feel that
they are not getting proper opportunity to grow.
Lack of recognition and rewards
Employees need to be rewarded for their efforts both in terms of monetary and in
terms of appreciation from the top management to keep them motivated (De Gieter &
Hofmans, 2015). When employees are rewarded or appreciated for their efforts they feel
motivated to work hard.
Poor work-life balance
If the employees are given too much work such that they cannot enjoy their personal
lives and feel overburdened with work they may leave such an organization (Giauque,
Anderfuhren-Biget & Varone, 2016).
Lack of authority for decision making
An organization which does not give sufficient authority to the employees to take
decisions makes employees feel that the organization does not trust them and a result the
employees cannot develop the sense of engagement and leave the company (Miller, 2017).
Poor employer-employee relationship
If the employers in an organization do not support their employees and they dominate
them, the employees feel discriminated and may leave the organization. Organizations where
the employers support the employees, a sense of commitment is created I the employees
