Our Week H Assignment will build on our newfound understanding of the importance of employee engagement and the challenges organizations face in retaining employees, especially younger employees. We will examine an example of a disengaged employee, and determine how an organization might prevent that employee from leaving.

Here are the steps students should take to complete this assignment:

1. Read this Case Study and think about how you might feel in Harper’s shoes.
   .
2. Read this article, Eight Effective Retention Strategies¹, and determine which might work best in Harper’s situation.
   .
3. Follow this guide to create a new post and include your responses to the following questions. Select “Retention” as the post Category. All submissions will populate under the Student Work menu item (Student Work > Retention).
   .
   • What do you think is the most demotivating part of Harper’s job?
   • If you were an HR manager meeting with Harper’s supervisor, David, what advice would you give to help them re-engage Harper?
   • What would be the downside of losing Harper as an employee?

Here’s what your submission should look like before you click “Publish.”
