1 Turnover Evaluation Wendy Trahan HRM/548 Dr. Gillian Silver March 25, 2024
2 Turnover Evaluation Introduction As the HR manager of the company, we have a sales associate who is slightly above average in terms of the number of sales and has decided to leave the company for a competitor. I have a few concerns about this sales associate’s exit from our company. I also must look at ways this might be a positive turnover and in what ways this might be negative. I will also need to look at the benefits of turnovers for our company and compare them to unhealthy turnovers for our company. What Ways Might This Be a Positive and Negative Turnover According to (Shweta, & Watts, 2022), employee turnover is when employees leave your company at a higher rate than normal. Employee turnover can cost the company more money. After all, they will need to recruit replacements. This can also lower the confidence of other employees because they are left with more work, and there will be a shortage of skilled employees. According to (Wholley, 2023), turnovers can also be positive. “The positive effects of employee turnover include opportunities for innovation, growth, and improved organizational performance” (Wholley, 2023). When employees decide to leave the company, they are allowing that company to find someone who is an even more suitable match for the company. With this employee who is slightly above average in terms of the number of sales deciding to leave the company by their choice to go to one of our competitors, we need to look at
3 what we can do to keep other employees happy and wanting to stay with us. We are unclear as to why this employee decided to leave, so we need to have an exit interview to discuss the reason behind it. When looking at the whole scenario, this is a negative turnover. This employee is above average in sales with us, and we hate to lose employees who are top performers. This can also be impactful because customers might decide to follow this employee even though there is a non-compete clause. We need to find out if the employee was not happy with the changes that were made in the company and if their sales were higher at one point but started to fall when these changes took place. If that is the case, we need to have more communication with our employees and motivate them about changes to not lose more employees. Benefits of A Turnover to An Organization According to (Wholley, 2023), these are a few benefits of a turnover for our company: 1. Increase Employee Engagement – If an employee is not the right person for the company and is less engaged it is better if they leave than stay because they will not be productive for the company. 2. Motivates Employees – “Some turnovers happen due to internal promotions” (Wholley, 2023). This can motivate other employees to develop and want to grow within the company to get promoted. 3. Impress Talent Potential – A turnover can help the company recognize other talented employees in the company by them being able to prove themselves.
