This document discusses the importance of human resource management (HRM) in addressing high employee turnover rates. It notes that many companies, especially small and medium sized ones, face retention problems, with turnover rates as high as 7-13% in some industries. Some of the key reasons employees leave include lack of challenge, responsibility, career growth opportunities, and a supportive organizational culture. The document advocates for HRM practices like realistic job previews, skills training, competitive compensation, career mobility, and work-life balance initiatives to improve retention and influence when employees choose to leave. It also acknowledges that high turnover is not always problematic if there is a large talent pool and new hires have lower salaries than long-term employees.
