jobs to the senior employees by
ultimately increasing their capability.

cost of employee and turnover parameters.
Ultimate aim is to perform better than the
world standards.
Methods to prevent:

Demand for Better

Work Environment

It is the interest of the company to provide good work

environment rather than demand of the employee.
Good work environment improves:

Quality of work.
Accuracy of work.
Efficient work.

E.g. In most of the develop countries people have

high self esteem which they attach with the best of
product services for them.
In 90% of cases they shall accept a product which is
the best irrespective of its price. It is only in
developing countries that value for money is more
into question, but the trend is moving towards the
best.
