WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT – RECRUITING
OR RETAINING ?
Uptron Electronics Ltd is an internationally reputed electronics firm. It attracted
employees from internationally reputed institutes and industries by offering high
salaries, perks, etc. It had advertised for the position of an Electronics engineer
some years back. Nearly 150 candidates working in various electronics firm
applied for the job. Mr. Sashidhar, an Electronics Engineer Graduate from Indian
Institute of Technology with 5 years of working experience in a small electronics
firm was selected among those interviewed. The interview board recommended an
16. enhancement in his salary by Rs.500 more than his present salary at his request. He
was very happy and was congratulated by his previous employer for his brilliant
interview performance and good luck. Mr. Sashidhar joined the company with
great enthusiasm and also found his job to be quite comfortable and challenging
one. He found that his colleagues and superiors were friendly and co-operative.
But this didn’t last long. After one year of his service, he slowly learnt about a
number of unpleasant stories about the company, management, the superior-
subordinate relations, rate of employee turnover, etc. But still he decided to
continue with the promise that he made in the interview. He wanted to please and
change the attitude of management through his performance, commitment and
dedication. Looking at his great contributions and efforts, the management got the
impression that he is well settled will remain in the company for a long time. After
sometime they all started taking undue advantage of him and overloaded him with
multifarious jobs and there by ridded over him. As a result, his freedom in deciding
and executing was cut down to size; his colleagues started assigning their
responsibilities to him. Consequently, there were imbalances in his family, social
and organization life. It was quite surprising to the general manager to see the
resignation letter of Mr. Sashidhar one fine morning. The general manager failed to
convince him to withdraw his resignation. The general manager wanted to appoint
a committee to go into the matter immediately, but dropped the idea later so that
the company’s image doesn’t get spoiled.
ANALYSIS Thus, from this case study it is clear that retaining is much more
important than recruiting. What’s the use and benefits of recruiting quality
employees if they cannot be retained by the organization in a proper manner. The
purpose of recruitment is fulfilled when the employees selected from a pool of
qualified applicants are retained in the company by keeping them satisfied in all
aspects. They must be provided with better working conditions, better pay scales,
incentives, recognition, promotion, bonus, flexible working hours, etc. They should
treat the employees as co-owners and partners of the company.
