Option #1: Turnover

For this assignment, select a company that is publicly traded. Please ensure that there is information available about this company online, so your instructor can become familiar with the organization. Then, please do the following:

1. Examine potential reasons, regardless of industry, why turnover rates occur. Identify these reasons using scholarly and industry research.
2. Identify industry competitors and explain how compensation and benefits differ among your organization and its competitors.
3. Justify how your organization can increase employee retention efforts, through policy and process revision/implementation, by utilizing a preferred motivation theory/model.
   1. Note: Do not focus only on motivating employees through offering higher levels of compensation. Explain factors, in addition to compensation, that can improve motivation.
4. Determine HR practices that would be impacted by these policy/process improvements.
5. Make recommendations regarding how to best communicate change efforts to employees.
