Turnovers and Ethics MT203-02: Human Resource Management Professor Jessica Marino April 6, 2021

When it comes to an organization and their success, it all comes down to how the company trained their employees and implemented their policies from day one. This can have a substantial effect on how the company perceives itself in their hire status. With that being said, we currently see that the company is facing an issue with their professional employees who are skilled and then leaving after 6 months to a year of them working there. My first initial thought was it may be the financial standpoint of things however, we now have to look at what may be implicating these drastic steps and what may be causing these employees to leave. During this investigation, I will be looking at the ethical standpoint and what the best approach would be in regard to giving the employees what they need in order to put the company back where it needs to be. Right now, we are looking at project delays due to employees walking out and quitting, however, we also see that employees are working 60 hours a week, which can be one of the variables causing this high rate of turnover. One of the approaches I would take in this case, would have to be the virtue approach because this is one of the more modern approaches, we can use in order to identify the needs of the employees and simply look for a way to encourage the employees and maybe allow them to be the best prospective to improving their work ethics. Once these are established, then we can start hiring outside of the work environment to replace those who have left and start hiring workers that will portray the virtue ethics. Then once these new hires come on the work force, this will only strengthen and motivate the current staff as they will already be capable of representing the virtue approach and this will put both teams of “new and old” on the same page making it better for them to work together and will increase staff consistency. One of the biggest things that would be crucial to this process would have to be the employees and the managers and how well they work together.
