How do you keep valuable employees from leaving? With employee turnover at a ten-year high in the tightest labor market in recent memory, human resource professionals face this challenge daily. This book briefly summarizes the current research in the area of employee turnover and provides practical guidelines to implement proven strategies for reducing unwanted turnover. Topics covered include differentiating between functional and dysfunctional turnover, job enrichment, employee selection, orientation programs, compensation practices, easing conflicts between work and home, social integration, and managing exiting employees. Separate chapters are devoted to using employee surveys to predict turnover and diagnose turnover causes and reducing turnover among special groups -- minorities and women. Hands-on interventions are described and illustrated with cases drawn from companies who have been successful in retaining personnel. The appendix includes two sample employee surveys. Human resource professionals, trainers, consultants, students, and researchers will find this a timely and helpful resource.

This book includes contributions from a variety of different perspectives on employee turnover. We categorize these myriad papers in terms of history, scope, theory development, and population generalization. Part I thus begins with an article by James Price, a pioneering thinker in the turnover field. Initiating the most systematic turnover research ever undertaken, Dr. Price describes his persistent quest to develop and refine a comprehensive theory of turnover. His 30-year intellectual journey offers valuable insight into theoretical and methodological challenges that continue to confront all turnover researchers.

Accurate employee turnover prediction plays an important role in providing early information for unanticipated turnover. A novel classification technique, support vector machines (SVMs), has been successfully employed in many fields to deal with classification problems. However, the application of SVMs for employee voluntary turnover prediction has not been widely explored. Therefore, this investigation attempts to examine the feasibility of SVMs in predicting employee turnover. Besides, two other tradition regression models, Logistic and Probability models are used to compare the prediction accuracy with the SVM model. Subsequently, a numerical example of employee voluntary turnover data from a middle motor marketing enterprise in central Taiwan is used to compare the performance of three models. Empirical results reveal that the SVM model outperforms the logit and probit models in predicting the employee turnover based on job performance. Consequently, the SVM model is a promising alternative for predicting employee turnover in human resource management.
