Welcome to Unit 7: Managing Careers & Retention! In this unit, we will explore how organizations work to balance employee ambition for advancement and satisfying business needs. We will also explore the concept of employee retention, some of the threats to retaining great employees for long periods of time, and how the workforce has fundamentally changed since our parents’ and grandparents’ generations were starting out. We will postulate how these employment trends will continue to evolve over the course of our careers and beyond, and understand the consequences and benefits the generations to come will face as a result.
