Employee turnover can be expensive, disruptive, and damaging to organizational success. Despite the importance of successfully managing turnover, many retention management efforts are based on misleading or incomplete data, generic best practices that don’t translate, or managerial gut instinct at odds with research evidence. This book culminates volumes of academic research on employee turnover into a practical guide to managing retention. Turnover fictions are dispelled and replaced by research-based facts. Keys to diagnosing and managing employee turnover are presented such that you can effectively manage employee retention today. These ideas will be invaluable to you and anyone who cares about the impact of turnover on the organization, including the CEO who is looking at the impact on the bottom line, managers who suffer when their best talent leaves, and human resource professionals whose career success may depend on effectively managing turnover.

This exploration of what employee turnover is, why it happens, and what it means for companies and employees draws together contemporary and classic theories and research to present a well-rounded perspective on employee retention and turnover. The book uses models such as job embeddedness theory, proximal withdrawal states, and context-emergent turnover theory, as well as highlights cultural differences affecting global differences in turnover. Employee Retention and Turnover contextualises the issue of turnover, its causes and its consequences, before discussing underrepresented antecedents of turnover, key aspects of retention and methods for regulating turnover, and future research directions. Ideal for both academics and advanced students of industrial/organizational psychology, Employee Retention and Turnover is essential for understanding the past, present, and future of turnover and related research.

Through extensive research Global Talent Retention: Understanding Employee Turnover Around the World addresses the need for turnover theory and research to give more careful consideration to global and cross-cultural perspectives on employee retention, and includes contributions from a global range of scholars.

The transition from developer control to resident control is a challenging time for any community. Reality is that a majority of people buying into deed restricted community associations don't truly understand the extent to which they are binding themselves to the covenants, conditions, and restrictions inherent to their new home ownership. What's worse, homebuyers purchasing into a community association while still under developer control fail to understand the degree to which the developer maintains control over their community, or the complexity of the process for transitioning to resident control. Residents living in developer-controlled communities have a natural tendency to assume the worst of the developer's actions and motives. So when the time comes for the developer to hand off an association to resident control (the developer turnover), more often than not, residents feel an overwhelming need to protect themselves and their community from the developer during the turnover process. The anxiety surrounding developer turnover can be mitigated by better understanding the process and everything that may be involved for the residents taking control. Clarity of association responsibility versus developer responsibility is the basis of any turnover negotiation, and knowledge of your association assets, infrastructure, and equipment will go a long way toward sidestepping typical pitfalls and you navigate the process. This guidebook is written for the community volunteers that recognize the need for resident involvement and oversight through the turnover process. Those that step up to form early governance for their community during a developer turnover need all the help they can get while planning and preparing for assumption of control. If your community is a condominium or a homeowners association, this guidebook will provide you detail of all that a turnover committee need consider, both in pre-turnover planning and diligence, as well as post-turnover guidance and business requirements. In addition to the text, readers will find included sample committee charters, board resolutions, cash flow template, document turnover checklists (condo and HOA), infrastructure checklist, turnover committee diligence checklist, post-turnover board business checklist, and more. This is the complete guide for any brave sole involving themselves in a developer turnover for their community's benefit. The information provided will invariably help educate and organize efforts for all those involved.
