17. CONCLUSI
ON
This project has highlighted some of the factors
which may be the possible reasons for an employee
to leave Roots International School.
Branch heads and HR managers should examine
the sources of employee turnover and recommend
the best approach to fill the gap of the source, so
that they can be in a position to retain employees
in their organization to enhance their
competitiveness in the this world of globalization.
Turnover can be reduced by many factors like
better recruitment effort, selecting right man for
the right job, continuous review of job
specifications and job descriptions, compensation
practices, flexible working hours, and
appreciations.
The teacher asset needs to be monitored with due
care, otherwise their organizations would cease to
exist.
