Download or read book Improving Employee Retention in the Public Sector by Increasing Employee Engagement written by Durand Crosby and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A poor reputation and low salaries has made retaining a talented workforce in the public sector more difficult over the past several decades, resulting in some to declare that the public sector is in the midst of a “human capital crisis.” However, in order to improve public's image of government, it is vital for public agencies to retain talented and experienced employees. It is our position that to improve retention, public agencies must increase levels of employee engagement in their work, which in turn will increase employee commitment and satisfaction. We posit that to create an engaged workforce, public managers must recruit individuals with high levels of public service motivation, link their employees with the meaningfulness of the organization's mission to the community, and utilize social marketing, reputation management, and branding initiatives to foster a better image and reputation for their organization. The present research will test these assumptions in public service organizations.

Download or read book Millennials Retention and the Public Sector written by Jimmy Alcantar and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millennial employees will soon become the majority of the workforce in the United States. Their tendency to "job hop" creates a problem for public sector agencies due to the negative consequences that follow turnover. High turnover can prove costly for the organization both financially and in other ways. Adapting to the propensities and values of millennial employees will be essential for the organization to retain them for more extended periods. The literature currently examines different retention strategies, but none touch upon the best retention strategies of millennial employees in the public sector due to the problem being so modern and new. The purpose of this project is to analyze the causes of turnover among Millennials in the public sector (more specifically in a local municipality in Southern California) and recommend managerial and organizational strategies that are likely to reduce turnover intentions or limit the worsening of the problem. Participants in this study will be surveyed through an in-person interview. The data will detail what retention strategies work best in retaining the incoming wave of millennial employees.

Download or read book Managing Employee Retention written by Jack J. Phillips and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-02-18 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past decade, employee turnover has become a very serious problem for organizations. Managing retention and keeping the turnover rate below target and industry norms is one of the most challenging issues facing business. All indications point toward the issue compounding in the future and, even as economic times change, turnover will continue to be an important issue for most job groups. Yet despite these facts employee turnover continues to be the most unappreciated and undervalued issue facing business leaders. There are a variety of reasons for this, for example, the true cost of employee turnover is often underestimated. The causes of turnover are not adequately identified, and solutions are often not matched with the causes, so they fail. Preventive measures are either not in place or do not target the issues properly, and therefore have little or no effect, and a method for measuring progress and identifying a monetary value (ROI) on retention does not exist in most organizations. 'Managing Employee Retention' is a practical guide for managers to retain their talented employees. It shows how to manage and monitor turnover and how to develop the ROI of keeping your talent using innovative retention programs. The book presents a logical process of managing retention, from identifying turnover costs and causes, designing solutions that match the causes of turnover, developing tools for tracking turnover and placing alerts when action is needed, and measuring the ROI of retention programs.

Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: Employee retention is one the core problems of the modern era. As firms are facing difficulties to retain their best employees in current time, employees also have the best option for them to utilize their talent in different organizations. So in this environment firms have to spend a lot on employees to retain them. If one employee leaves the organization then it can become very difficult for the organization to immediate fulfill that position. The irm has to hire the new employee after fulfilling all the procedure i.e hiring, recruiting etc. Training is also necessary for newly hired employees to became an active part of the organization and sometimes after doing lot of effort the firm does not even succeed to get the competent employees so therefore employee retention remains one of the biggest challenge for any organization to retain its best employees for the longer period. In this case the firm has to increase the salaries of employees and other benefits from time to time, promotion and other incentive to retain its employees. Training and development for capacity building is also key figure to increase employee retention. So employee retention problems exist in the business industry. Apart from the government sector, in private sector employee retention is an even more serious problem as government sector employees are not easily willing to leave the organization because they have job security in government sector but in private sector employees can move easily when they get any better opportunity. The objectives of this study are to find out: How capacity development influences and helps in retention; how emplyee empowerment effects on retention; and how promotion impacts retention.

Download or read book Workers Voice HRM Practice and Leadership in the Public Sector written by Nicole Cvenkel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-09 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much is talked and written about well-being in the workplace, but many wonder whether 'putting people first' is just a facade and that were it not for employment legislation, union representation and the high profile of human rights issues, employers would regard employees as a necessary burdensome financial evil, as in days gone by. Some scholarly research has focused on the reactions of employees to the quality of working life and well-being at work and much of this suggests high levels of dissatisfaction, disaffection and disengagement. In Workers' Voice, HRM Practice, and Leadership in the Public Sector: Multidimensional Well-Being at Work, Nicole Cvenkel avers that whilst it is known that public sector employees are even less satisfied than those in the private sector, there has been very little research into the effects of working life experiences on employee well-being in public sector organisations. There is even some doubt about whether a well-being philosophy that can be applied in the private sector can readily be extended to the public sector. The push towards New Public Management (NPM) means organisations continue to undergo significant reform processes around efficiency, costs and public service delivery. All these changes place additional demands on public sector employees who are at times also subject to intensive scrutiny by stakeholder groups, who may regard the recourse to well-being initiatives as a poor use of public funds. The author has researched in the UK local government sector and that is the setting for the debate in this book, about whether and how an employee well-being ideology can be successfully promoted and maintained in an NPM environment, given continuous reform and expenditure reduction. In a local government case organisation, the author has researched, limited resources, reduction in budgets, redundancies, increased workloads, lack of trust, and the existence of a 'controlled' working environment were all found to be central to a climate of bullying and unfairness. Although the organisation was committed to the adoption of HRM 'best practice' and initiatives geared towards promoting employees well-being, employees still believed they were being bullied and treated unfairly. It was found that different perspectives on the psychological contract, fairness, and bullying at work were highlighted by managerial and non-managerial employees. The author's conclusions contribute to a clearer understanding than hitherto of workers' voice in relation to work, leader-member exchanges, and well-being in the public sector and she offers a model depicting employees' understanding of what their quality of working life, line manager’s leadership and well-being should be, that might be used by organisational leaders, researchers, policy makers, Human Resources managers and other practitioners and consultants, to move towards a more holistic, multidimensional, well-being at work paradigm.

Download or read book Employee Retention in Change Management Processes Practical Experience written by Michael Kurwan and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2023-04-21 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Document from the year 2023 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Leadership, , language: English, abstract: Retaining employees for the long term within the framework of change management processes is a challenging management task. In change management processes, a fundamental distinction must be made between incremental change management and radical change management. While incremental change happens continuously and is integrated into everyday work, radical change represents a strategic realignment of the company, which is predominantly associated with staff reductions and is intended to change the corporate culture. This is particularly true in the case of turnarounds, where cost-cutting programs play a crucial role in ensuring the long-term survival of the company. Employees are more willing to go along with incremental change, also known as continuous improvement, than with radical change, as these could also be affected by staff reductions. This stirs up fears among employees and therefore often leads to high turnover. Therefore, it is important for management to actively involve employees in the changes to empower them to act as change agents so that they can actively shape the change. To do this, it is crucial to identify the key personnel that a company cannot do without. The management and key personnel are given the task of actively accompanying the company's employees on the journey of change so that the company can grow sustainably again from a lower level after the strategic realignment so that the remaining employees have a prosperous future. Open communication and excellent transparency on the part of the management, which should also act as a unit, help to bring the employees along on the change journey in a targeted manner. However, experience has shown that 50% of all change management projects in the industry fail and 20% are implemented inadequately due to two crucial reasons, namely power struggles within management and resistance from employees. For this reason, it is imperative that a company's management team select a leadership coalition of similarly rational members who also have sufficient empathy to successfully manage the change management process, which must be done together with employees and should not be directed against them. The guiding coalition should develop a common strategic vision and practice a participative way of working involving everyone, since the goal of transformation is to change the thinking of employees, and transformation can only be brought about together with employees.
