Retention Assignment

  1. I think the most demotivating part of Harper’s job is the extra workload and lack of support. Harper has had to take on additional workload since her former boss left. This caused her to feel overwhelmed by the task she did at and away from work. Also, she isn’t receiving the same support from her old boss because there are more people to manage.
  2. The advice I would give to David is to ask Harper frequently how she is feeling. Helping her create positive work life balance. And give frequent thank you and shout out to the employees. This may make her feel valued about the job she is doing.
  3. The downside of losing Harper as an employee is you lose ‘employee retention benefits like higher productivity, higher employee morale, employee loyalty, and a positive company culture.
