Retention Strategies

Retention strategies
are designed to keep employees interested and satisfied enough in their
workplace that they want to stay with the organization.

The module discusses
various retention strategies common to healthcare organizations: selecting the
right employee, new employee orientation, monitoring turnover, communication,
working conditions, compensation practices, and benefits.

Choose one of the
strategies listed above, or find a different strategy, and locate an article that
supports the use of this practice. Provide a brief summary of the article and
answer the following questions: What are the advantages to the practice? How is
the strategy successfully implemented in the workplace? Does the practice lose
effectiveness over time? Is the strategy successful in all organizations, and
if not, what must be present in an organization to insure the practice will be
successful?
