Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Turnover of employees is a natural event. It is sometimes a relief when a particular employee leaves the office. On the other hand, the cost of losing any employee can be high because of the costs related to lost productivity, training, and the time required for recruiting a replacement. Because of these cost elements, it makes sense to try to delay an employee's departure. By "buying time," the manager can minimize the time required to recruit a replacement and possibly even redistribute the workload among current employees before the job-hunting employee leaves the organization. This approach allows the manager to control the situation. Sometimes it is better to let the employee leave immediately upon submitting a resignation if this will avoid disruption in work flow or the "chemistry" among the rest of the employees. Some employees become negative in their behavior patterns once they decide to leave the organization. The knowledge that an employee is looking for a new position is vitally important information to a manager. The clues provided by the job-hunting employee can go a long way toward maintaining the stability of the work force and the effectiveness of the manager in achieving the goals of the organization.
