EMPLOYEE TURNOVER
Employee Turnover
Overview
Employee turnover in the hospitality industry averages 400 percent annually. This means that, on average, 100 percent of the staff of a restaurant, hotel, airline, or cruise ship is replaced four times per year. There has been extensive research on employee turnover and employee job satisfaction. Using the Internet or the Strayer Library, select one hospitality industry type, such as fast-food restaurants, luxury hotels, specialty hotels, or any other type of hospitality interest, and identify the main problems associated with that industry and employee turnover. Suggest ways and methods to address the high turnover rate.
