Literature Review
Regarding the reasonses of the problem
Introduction
Turnover, in essence, results from job dissatisfaction for
individual employee in the workplace. However, being
dissatisfied in a work is not the only reason of leaving the
company. When employees possess skills that are in demand,
they are likely to be tempted by a high salary, more benefits or
better potential for career development. Consequently, it is
sometimes necessary to understand and identify the difference
between employees who are unsatisfied, leaving the job and
those who quit for other reasons. There is a variety of causes

8. and influential factors that result in employees’ turnover of an
organization.
Reasons of Turnover
Managerial factors. High employee turnover is caused by the
instability in the management of an organization. Employees are
more inclined to stay and work when the organization is stable
and friendly working environment (Bergmann and Scarpello,
2001). The obligation of a quantitative approach to managing
the employees has led to disillusionment of employee and so it
directs to turnover. Because of this, managers should not apply
the quantitative approach in supervising their employees (Dress
and Shaw, 2001). Approving a cost oriented approach to labor
costs increases employee turnover (Liu, Liu and Li, 2006). If
managers take steps to cut the labor turnover, it is essential to
avoid all these approaches (Dobbs, 2001). Organizations could
eventually reduce in size turnover unless organization has
performed as well balanced communication system between
managers and workers (Griffeth and Hom, 2001).
Working environment. If working environment is low-grade due
to lack of all the basic facilities such as proper lighting,
working in a space with some natural light, ventilation, air
conditioning system, open space, restroom, lavatory, furniture,
safety equipment while discharging hazardous duties, drinking
water and refreshment, workers will not be capable of facing up
the difficulty for a long time (Singh, 2008). Besides, a bad boss
creates an adverse working environment, thereby leading the
employees to leave the job.
Pay. According to Shaw et al (1998), “Pay is something given in
exchange for services rendered in an organization”. It has
played a significant role in retaining and rewarding high quality
human resources. To be more precise, one of the critical factors
of employee turnover is lower salary. When employees’ receive

9. lower salary and insufficient financial rewards, they tend to stay
no longer with the organization (Lavob, 1997). It is often said
that job dissatisfaction is the major cause of poor pay scale
procedure, leading employees to leave the job. A good
illustration of this is that a new employee may guess why the
person next to him gets a high salary for what is supposed to be
the similar job (Dobbs, 2001). A common opinion is that good
pay can be a strong determinant of job satisfaction that leads to
achieve higher productivity in the organization.
Career promotion. In wide terms, reward program demonstrates
the broad theory of compensation strategy which is described as
the “deliberate utilization of the pay systems as an essential
integrating mechanism through which the efforts of various
subunits or individuals are directed towards the achievement of
an organization’s strategic objectives” (Labov, 1997). The best
way of promoting and motivating employees would be a
combination of pay, promotion, bonus and other kinds of
rewards to achieve organizational performance (Ting, 1997).
The reason behind is that lack of promotion and ordinary work
responsibilities considerably can lead to the intention of
turnover (House et al, 1996). To an extent, employees consider
leaving the organization due to the ineffective performance
assessment and perceptions of job unfairness (Weiss and
Cropanzano, 1996). By implementing “job enrichment”
programs, organization would be capable of retain employee
and to provide the opportunities for better career development
(Magner et al., 1996).
Job fit. According to Campion (1991), Selection process is
related to the fit between the candidate and the job. O’Reilly et
al (1991) argued that job satisfaction levels will go up if there
is a good fit between qualities of the applicants and the job.
Therefore, it is imperative to have a good fit between what the
candidate wishes for and what the organization requires.
Organizations will increase the productivity if they recruit the

10. suitable employees and take necessary measures to increase job
satisfaction. On the other hand, turnover will not be minimized
until employees are not satisfied with the job. As a result,
management needs to deal with the pressing issue of employee
turnover and job satisfaction. Thompson et al. (2006) state that
“A happy worker is a productive worker”.
Influence of co-workers. In 2002, a study carried out by Martin
and Martin (2003) of 477 workers in 15 companies investigates
the reasons why employees are intended to quit the job. One of
their major findings is that “co-workers intentions have a major
significant impact on all destination options – the more positive
the perception of their co-workers desire to leave, the more
employees themselves wanted to leave”. In fact, job change acts
as a form of social pressure or rationalization on employees
while co-workers intend to leave their positions.

Information Security Risk Review/ Assessment and business
continuity
What is a information security review/assessment plan ?
A plan to secure and protect your data and networks on your
information system
To identify, assess, and take steps to avoid or mitigate risk
Every Small Businesses should have a plan:
Businesses needs to survive and recover.
A commitment to planning today will help support employees,
customers, the community, the local economy and even the
country. It also protects your business investment and gives
your company a better chance for survival.

12. Key Steps in planning For a Flood
Continuity Planning
Emergency Planning For Employees
Talk to Co-Workers with Disabilities
Emergency Supplies
Planning to Stay or Go
Review Insurance Coverage
Secure Your Equipment
Secure Facilities, Buildings
Improve Cyber Security
All of these steps do play a part in planning to keep your
business running after some type of disaster. The ones
highlighted are what we are going to focus on to allow Ben’s to
continue to service his costumers follow a flood.
Continuity Planning:
Carefully assess how your company functions, both internally
and externally. Determine which staff, materials, procedures
and equipment are absolutely necessary to keep the business
operating.
Planning to Stay or Go
Circumstances and the nature of the disaster, the first important
decision after an incident occurs is whether to shelter-in-place
or evacuate. For Ben he wants to stay in place and continue to
operate his business. So having a plan in place to stay with be
key to him to continue operating his business. If the flood
damaged the building you will typically want to evacuate.

13. Secure Your Equipment
The force of some disasters can damage or destroy important
equipment. You want to do a room-by-room walk through to
determine what needs to be secured. Ben should elevate
equipment off the floor to avoid electrical hazard during
flooding.
Brown, Quentin CTR USSOCOM USASOC HQ (BQCUUH) -
Secure Facilities, Buildings
While there is no way to predict what will happen or what your
business’s circumstances will be. There are things you can do in
advance to help protect your physical assets.
The ways in which people, products, supplies and other things
get into and leave your building or facility.
Identify what production machinery, computers, custom parts or
other essential equipment is needed to keep the business open.
Plan how to replace or repair vital equipment if it is damaged or
destroyed.
Identify more than one supplier who can replace or repair your
equipment.
Store extra supplies, materials and equipment for use in an
emergency.
Finally, plan what you will do if your building or store is not
usable.

14. Improve Cyber Security
Protecting your data and information technology systems may
require specialized expertise.
Depending on the particular industry and the size and scope of
the business.
The cyber security can be very complicated. Even the smallest
business can be better prepared.
Use anti-virus software and keep it up-to-date.
Don’t open email from unknown sources.
Use hard-to-guess passwords. Protect your computer from
Internet intruders by using firewalls.
Back up your computer data. Regularly download security
protection updates known as patches.
Make sure your co-workers know what to do if your computer
system becomes infected.
data backup
Data Backup Plan
Store your data on the network server, computer and any
wireless device.
Any hard copy records and information
Should schedule backups for all systems and devices.
To make the hardcopy records and information backup easy, you
can make digital copies by scanning them to a network drive.
The frequency of backups, security of the backups and secure
off-site storage should be addressed in the plan.

15. Data Backup 2
Small business doesn't generate large amounts of data or data
files.
Data can be lost, corrupted, compromised or stolen through
hardware failure, human error, hacking and malware.
Loss or corruption of data could result in significant business
disruption.
Vendors offer online data backup services like storage in the
“cloud”. This is a cost-effective solution for businesses with an
internet connection.
The software would be installed on the client server or
computer is automatically backed up.
