MODULE 5 – RETENTION AND MOTIVATION

Attached here are my photos while reading and highlighting important details about the
module Retention and Motivation.

As what I have learned, Retention is the process of keeping employees employed to your
company. Losing employees is called turnover and that is what the company is avoiding
because it is costly. In order for that to be avoided, HR managers formulate a retention plan
that will address turnover. One method that can be used to measure job satisfaction that
can help in retaining employees is the JDI or the Job Descriptive Index that has five aspects
mainly, present job, present pay, opportunities for promotion, supervision and coworkers.

In this module, theories about motivations are discussed. The Hawthorne studies, that
discuss about the employees being cared about in the organization for them to feel
motivated. The Maslow’s theory that tackles about the Hierarchy needs that consists of
physiological, safety, social, esteem, and self-actualization needs. Herzberg developed a
motivational theory that is based on actual motivation factors and hygiene factors.
McGregor’s theory on motivation looked at managers’ attitudes toward employees. And
lastly, the carrot-and-stick approach means you can get someone to do something by
offering some incentive to motivate them to do the work.

By watching the videos, I have learned that Retention is very important in the company
because it helps both the company and the employee to grow. In order to do so, as an HR
manager you must understand the employees feelings. Having a survey about the
employees’ insights, wants, problems etc. is also effective. Giving commissions, rewards,
benefits, and promotions to employees is one way to keep employees for they can feel
motivated to do their work through those.
