Our Unit 7 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:
- Read this Case Study and think about how you might feel in Harper’s shoes.
- Read this article, Eight Effective Retention Strategies, and determine which might work best in Harper’s situation.
- Follow this guide to create a new post and include your responses to the following questions. Select “Retention Assignment” as the post Category. All submissions will populate under the Student Work menu item (Student Work > Retention). Students should review others’ submissions and comment meaningfully (refer to this guide from MMSU for reference) to at least two other students.
- 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?
As always, if you need more information, you can ask me a question. For information on due dates, check our Course Schedule.
