Best Practices for Dealing with Employee Turnover Best Practices for Dealing with Employee Turnover The Loss with Turnover Each time an employee leaves an organization, it costs a business approximately 20% of that employee’s annual salary. For organizations whose nature lends itself to high turnover, this statistic can be alarming. In addition to the upfront cost of recruiting and training a replacement, employers are also burdened when an employee leaves because the knowledge they gathered during their employment often walks out the door with them. This issue of knowledge loss is especially troubling for organizations that primarily operate in the field, because many field reps use individual documentation that is separated from the back-office. If that person did not keep their information organized or they continually discarded what they considered old data, it can create difficulty for a new rep taking over the accounts of the previous rep. Additionally, the clients affected by the turnover may face frustrations during the transition if their new rep does not have the knowledge to serve them as well as the original rep. This guide will explore the root causes of employee turnover and the industries which are most affected by it. Additionally, it will identify the different types of institutional knowledge loss that occur due to turnover and the tools available to mitigate the problem. 2 WWW.REPSLY.COM Affected Industries There is a host of literature covering the causes of high employee turnover and the ways in which employers can decrease it in their organizations. While it is important for any organization to consider the advice this literature offers, such as creating a positive working environment and promoting healthy communication, the structure of some organizations means that high turnover rates are unavoidable. For example, businesses that run on a seasonal basis often experience high turnover rates, because employees who work one season are not guaranteed to return the next. That includes any organization that begins and ends operations in collaboration with natural seasons such as landscaping businesses or pool-cleaning services. Yet turnover is also evident in organizations that alter operations according to different “seasons” such as retail merchandising firms that often hire an influx of employees during major events like Christmas or the SuperBowl. Typically, young people, such as college students, who do not have developed skills, hold seasonal jobs. However, economic pressures are leading to a growing number of middle-aged employees seeking out these pop-up job opportunities. It is also important to note that though seasonal industries have historically experienced high levels of turnover, a growing number of industries may be faced with the same issue. That is due to the influx of Millennials, who are projected to make up nearly 80% of the workforce over the next ten years. Often referred to as “job hoppers,” these young employees have been shown to have more job mobility than any other generations. The penetration of this significantly large age group into the workforce will encourage a growing number of organizations to consider the after-effects of turnover, and the solutions available to address them. 3 WWW.REPSLY.COM Types of Knowledge Loss Client Data Since organizations that operate in the field rely heavily on their reps to foster healthy client relationships, managers often do not have as intimate an understanding of clients as their reps do. Without a system of documentation, a rep leaving a job will take away all the valuable information they gained during their time with clients. Here is a list of common types of lost information caused by turnover: Client Personalities: includes any personal tendencies including sensitivity to timeliness, attention to detail, etc. Client Habits: includes behaviors like checking in with phone calls, sending confirmation emails, overseeing merchandising, etc. Client Expectations: includes assumptions such as, rep will offer new products; rep will offer customer service surveys, etc. If a new rep does not have previous knowledge about the clients beforehand, they may be caught off guard with their new clients. In response, the client must take time out their day to explain what they want from the rep, which may send a message to the client that the organization does not value their clients’ time. Future Data Another critical part of many field reps’ jobs is gauging the future interaction clients will have with the organization. When an employee leaves the position, all the side conversations and subjective impressions they have obtained from their clients about future plans are lost. Here are three specific types of future plans that businesses stand to lose due to turnover. Cold Call Possibilities: includes any tips made by current clients about potential new clients that a rep keeps a list of. 4 WWW.REPSLY.COM Product Launches: includes any interest from current clients that they will be notified about new products. Feedback Programs: includes any expectations that current clients have about being involved in customer service feedback programs. This type of knowledge loss can be significant, especially for industries that have high levels of employee turnover. This article points out that the knowledge loss of future plans caused by employee turnover often goes hand in hand with higher level of customer turnover. Hard Data Most reps must keep some form of documentation pertaining to interactions with clients. Yet, many field reps are still tracking this information on paper. Organizations must hope that when that rep leaves the job is that the he or she was carefully organized and has all that hard data in an easy-to-find location. Here are three examples of hard data that can potentially be lost during turnover. Purchase Orders: the average amount of product purchased per client. Visit Schedules: a detailed calendar with an optimized client visit schedule. Audits: checkups on rep activity like merchandising or repair work with specifications that are important to the client. The new rep will need this type of information to be fully informed going into client visits. For example, a client may become frustrated with having to deal with a parade of new reps and go from ordering 100 cases of product to 20 cases of product. A rep who had insight into that clients’ behavior could have foreseen that red flag and engaged with the client about the change. Without this advantage, an organization’s disappointing service may go undetected. 5 WWW.REPSLY.COM Solving the Problem Developing solutions to limit turnover is important for any organization, whether high levels of turnover are expected or not. While there are tools and solutions available to help ease the pain of turnover, it is always better to have a team full of knowledgeable and personable reps delivering product or services to clients that return to the job season after season. Check out a few ways to keep seasonal employees coming back, and how best to handle turnover when it happens. Attracting return workers A number of employees in high-turnover industries will leave for practical reasons, such as a higher job placement or a post-college move. For this reason and the short-term nature of seasonal work, some managers in these industries have adopted a hands-off approach to employee retention because they believe the exercise to be a waste of time. Yet, a more concentrated approach to retention could create healthier client relationships and a more efficient organization overall. Here’s a few ideas for seasonal managers looking to keep around a great team of employees: Keep in Touch: Sending your current or even previous employees holiday cards or offering invites to company events can help develop a community to which workers will want to return. Offer Perks: For seasonal employee veterans, who often are not offered insurance or retirement plans, it is important for managers in these industries to offer perks. Small things like a game room in the office can promote you to being a “fun” employer. Value Employees: This may seem like an obvious tip, but many managers of seasonal teams do not take the time to thank or recognize employees for great work. A “thank you” can go a long way. 6 WWW.REPSLY.COM Hiring Practices By keeping in contact with employees, offering a fun working environment, and recognizing quality work managers of seasonal teams can address the avoidable causes of turnover. Yet, the nature of these short-term employment situations means that organizations will have to continue to tweak their reaction to inevitable levels of turnover in order to maintain the quality of their customer service. Here are three traits managers of seasonal teams should look for during the hiring process. Excellent Communicator: Employees who are naturally communicative will be more willing to relay the customer information they know and are more likely to be thorough with the new rep. Organized: An organized employee will keep detailed records of client interactions and purchase orders, so a new rep will be able to quickly get a better picture of the client accounts they will be taking over. Accountable: Hire someone who is highly accountable for his or her work. These are the type of reps that motivate themselves without managers having to constantly check up on them. Better Data Capture Tools Some organizational leaders in seasonal or Millennial-heavy industries may feel that since employee turnover is inevitable its consequences must also be unavoidable. Yet, through the management and hiring practices mentioned above, the knowledge loss caused by turnover can be remedied. Another great way to solve the issue of inevitable turnover is through adopting a Field Activity Management solution. There is a variety of Field Activity Management software tools that help organizations not only collect the critical knowledge mentioned above, but also maintain it in-house after an employee is gone.

    Journal of Business Cases and Applications Volume 17 Target Corp.: making work fun, fast and friendly 1 Alix Valenti University of Houston-Clear Lake ABSTRACT This is a decision case involving Target Corporation. It is based on a field study of a Target store in Houston, TX, including several interviews with its Human Resource Team Leader, its Store Team Leader, and two Executive Team Leaders. Additional data were obtained from Target’s website as well as two other websites providing pay information. High turnover among employees in the retail industry is well-known. In this case study, the problem was illustrated by Target’s need to maintain high levels of customer service and its desire to increase customer participation in its “REDcard” credit card program. The Human Resource Team Leader noted in the case study that Target paid its cashiers less than what they could earn at other nearby retail stores. However, the facts of the case indicated that turnover at Target was not greater than the national average. Thus, students are asked to consider other non-monetary rewards that would attract and retain workers at Target.

  • Workplace Bullying and Harassment
    AMA Position Statement Workplace Bullying and Harassment 2009 Introduction There is good evidence that bullying and harassment of doctors occurs in the workplace. One Australian study found that 50% of Australian junior doctors had been bullied in their workplace, and a New Zealand study reported that 50% of doctors had experienced at least one episode of bullying behaviour during their previous three or sixth-month clinical attachment. 1 2 Workplace bullying of members of the medical workforce can occur between colleagues students and employees, and any contractors, patients, and family members with whom they are dealing. The aims of this position statement are to: • provide a guide for all doctors, hospital and practice managers to identify and manage workplace bullying and harassment, • raise awareness and reduce the exposure of doctors to workplace bullying and harassment, and • assist the medical profession in combating its perpetuation. Definition Workplace bullying is defined as a pattern of unreasonable and inappropriate behaviour towards others, although it may occur as a single event. Such behaviour intimidates, offends, degrades, insults or humiliates an employee. It can include psychological, social, and physical bullying.3 Most people use the terms ‘bullying’ and ‘harassment’ interchangeably and bullying is often described as a form of harassment. The range of behaviours that constitutes bullying and harassment is wide and may include: • physical violence and intimidation, • vexatious reports and malicious rumours, • verbal threats, yelling, screaming, offensive language or inappropriate comments, • excluding or isolating employees (including assigning meaningless tasks unrelated to the job or giving employees impossible tasks or enforced overwork), • deliberately changing work rosters to inconvenience particular employees, • undermining work performance by deliberately withholding information vital for effective work performance, and • inappropriate or unwelcome sexual attention.

  • The Micromanagement Disease: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Cure
    The Micromanagement Disease: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Cure By Richard D. White, Jr., PhD "The best executive is one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done," Theodore Roosevelt once observed, "and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it."1 Unfortunately, many managers have not heeded TR's century-old advice to practice self restraint, but instead needlessly over-manage, over-scrutinize, and over-frustrate employees. Such meddlesome bosses now are called micromanagers. A micromanager can be much more than just a nuisance in today's complex organization. The bothersome boss who second guesses every decision a subordinate makes, frets about the font size of the latest progress report, or inspects all of his employees emails not only frustrates and demoralizes his harassed workers, but seriously damages the productivity of the organization and, over the long run, may jeopardize the organization's survival. Unfortunately, micromanagement is a fact of management life. Why do so many people hate to be micromanaged, yet so many managers continue to do it? Why have we all worked for micromanagers—but have never been one ourselves? But have we? Maybe the noted management consultant and cartoon icon, Pogo, had it right when he quipped, "We have met the enemy...and he is us."2 Micromanagement now commonly refers to the control of an enterprise in every particular and to the smallest detail, with the effect of obstructing progress and neglecting broader, higher-level policy issues. Micromanagement has been practiced and recognized well before we labeled it as an organizational pathology.

  • BOT Report 09-Nov-20.Docx
    REPORT 9 OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (November 2020) Bullying in the Practice of Medicine (Reference Committee D) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At the 2019 Annual Meeting Resolution 402-A-19, “Bullying in the Practice of Medicine,” was introduced by the Young Physicians Section and referred by the House of Delegates (HOD) for report back at the 2020 Annual Meeting. The resolution asks the American Medical Association (AMA) to help (1) establish a clear definition of professional bullying, (2) establish prevalence and impact of professional bullying, and (3) establish guidelines for prevention of professional bullying. This report provides statistics and other information about the prevalence and impact of professional bullying in the practice of medicine, and makes recommendations for the adoption of a formal definition and guidelines for establishing policies and strategies for preventing and addressing incidents of bullying among the health care staff. Bullying in the practice of medicine for physicians can begin in medical school and can endure throughout a physician’s career. Bullying is not limited to physicians and can happen among other members of the health care team. Bullying has many definitions, all commonly referring to the repeated abuse of a target by a perpetrator in a work setting. Bullying occurs at different levels within the practice of medicine, and affects the victim as well as their patients, care teams, organizations, and families. Nationally recognized organizations have established guidelines on which health care employers can base their internal policies, and many organizations have implemented anti-bullying or anti-violence policies. Bullying in medicine needs to be stopped and prevented for the sake of patients and care quality, the well- being of the physician workforce, and the integrity of the medical profession.

A Critical Analasys of Logistics Industry – Evidence from Vietnam Submitted 12/09/20, 1st revision 10/10/20, 2nd revision 29/10/20, accepted 20/11/20 Huynh Thi Thu Suong1 Abstract: Purpose: This paper's purposes are to recognize relations between job stress, dissatisfaction, and intention to quit the job of employees at Logistics enterprises in Vietnam (VLE). The job stress's determinants that have been tested by this research include roles of leadership, work relationship, work pressure, and time pressure. Methodology/Approach: To conduct this study, the author has used qualitative and quantitative research methods to adjust and inspect the scales, models of theory showing its relations and impacting factors. This study is examined on a valid sample of 331 among 378 employees currently working in VLE. Using Confirm Factor Analysis, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS to affirm variables' relationship. Research findings disclose a close connection between the constructs of the model. Findings: This study strongly confirms three scales of the variables: "job stress," "job dissatisfaction," and "turnover intention" remain valid and reliable. Moreover, there has been a significant relationship between them. From the research results, managers in VLEs have to be aware of and identify harmful factors affecting employees, thus preventing them from quitting the job. If there is a timely and appropriate solution, it would decrease job dissatisfaction and improve their commitment. Originality/Value: Shaping employee turnover intention shows a certain dynamic in the way employees’ function in the organization.

  • Workforce Turnover and Absenteeism in the Manufacturing Sector
    Global Journal of Business Disciplines Volume 3, Number 1, 2019 WORKFORCE TURNOVER AND ABSENTEEISM IN THE MANUFACTURING SECTOR Kristie A. Abston, Middle Tennessee State University Murat Arik, Middle Tennessee State University Bronwyn C. Graves, Middle Tennessee State University ABSTRACT The manufacturing sector in the United States is simultaneously enduring record-low unemployment rates and record-high growth. These economic conditions underscore the vital role that managing human capital plays in an organization’s success. Effective recruitment and retention programs are particularly key to helping manufacturing organizations perform optimally under these competitive labor market conditions. This study explores the relationships between pay practices, benefit programs, location characteristics, absenteeism, and turnover using survey data from human resource management professionals representing over 350 manufacturing organizations in the southeast. Responding organizations represented both rural and metro areas, ranged in size from 2-6,000 employees, and reported average annual sales ranging from $150k to $850k. The findings can help organizations and human resource managers develop better strategies for recruiting and retaining the skilled labor that is vital to their organizations’ effectiveness. INTRODUCTION The United States economy has been experiencing unprecedented growth across a broad range of industries and geographic regions (U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, 2018a). In 2017, the real gross domestic product (GDP) in the U.S. increased by 2.3% with 20 of 22 industry groups adding to the increase (U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, 2018b). Likewise, the District of Columbia and 47 states experienced increases in real GDP (2018c) as did 312 of 383 metropolitan areas (2018d). The manufacturing sector, in particular, has found renewal in this thriving economy.
