RECOMMENDATIONS

Recommendations
Staff Retention In todays environment it becomes very important for organizations to retain their employees. The top organizations are on the top because they value their staff and they know how to keep them to the organization Employee Participation

To involve employees in the decision making process: Employees must be a part of decision making process because they are the one who will be the first to be affected by the decision. So their opinion counts a lot..

cont
Employee satisfaction tracking system In order to fulfill the guests need, the organization often fails to meet its employee requirement. Thus, employee satisfaction tracking system should be introduced in every organization to measure the satisfaction level. This will enable the organization to take corrective decisions and will make employees happier.

cont
Promotion of employees If there is a vacancy in the organization and an outsider is appointed instead of an inside person being promoted This situation will result in people leaving the job, and it might be possible that there might be differences between the new employee and the present staff. Thus, promoting employees from within would help to retain staff.

360 - Degree Feedback System This system is used to evaluate the performance of all top officials, from the Managing Director to departmental managers, in which they are evaluated by their immediate subordinates. The 360-degree feedback is followed by personal interviews of individuals to counsel them to overcome their deficiencies. This system should be encouraged so that each an everyone gets an opportunity to excel and improve on their drawbacks.

Idea Champ It recognizes the employee who gives an idea that can be implemented. The researcher recommend that instead of having one idea champ all the ideas given by the employees must be put on a soft board so that they even feel motivated and recognized. RefiningAs 50% of the respondents said that they were not getting support from the HR department I suggest that the HR policies and the HR team has to be refined.

 At present they have employee of the quarter they should introduce employee of the month so that they can keep the employees motivated. Training and development They should have a full fledge training team to train and develop the employees as the employees suggested in the survey.
