For this discussion topic, we are taking our inspiration from our Organizational Behaviour Open Textbook - in particular, exercise 5 from Section 4.3 with a focus on employee turnover. As outlined in this exercise, managers at some organizations are rewarded for minimizing the turnover within their department or branch. In these cases, part of their bonus is sometimes tied directly to keeping the level of turnover below a minimum. What do you think about the potential effectiveness of these kinds of programs? Do you see any potential downsides to such programs? Have you ever worked in an organization where turnover has been a challenge? Do you think it can sometimes be beneficial for employees to choose to leave an organization? Why or why not? What is the impact on remaining employees who choose to stay with the organization? Share your observations and experiences with your classmates! Please remember that it is also okay if you have never had a job or do not currently have a job - in that case, you can think about previous work experience, volunteer work or group projects, for example. Remember that this is a class discussion forum that is open to all MGMT 251 students, and that your discussion forum contributions contribute to your professionalism grade this semester. Please refer to the MGMT 251 2021F Syllabus for details on how professionalism will be assessed this semester. Start a New Thread
