Assignment: Supporting Lectures: Review the following lectures:

• Training and Developing Employees

• Managing Careers and Retention

Introduction: Before beginning work on this discussion forum, please review the link "Doing Discussion Questions Right" and any specific instructions for this topic.

Before the end of the week, begin commenting on at least two of your classmates' responses. You can ask technical questions or respond generally to the overall experience. Be objective, clear, and concise. Always use constructive language, even in criticism, to work toward the goal of positive progress. Submit your responses in the Discussion Area.

Tasks: Respond to one of the discussion questions below:

Question 1: Turnover can cost a significant amount for an organization, both financially and emotionally. Suppose you are hired into the position of an HR manager for an airline reporting a 20% turnover rate for pilots. What would you conclude about this? What would you do to determine the cause, and what steps would you take to increase the retention of employees?

Question 2: There are many theories and models of talent and performance management that you have read in the text and will read about in your research. Consider multiple aspects of managing and motivating performances and getting the most out of people, their abilities, and their intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. How do you go about developing and motivating employees for effective talent and performance management?

Submission Details: To support your work, use your course and textbook readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Your initial posting should be addressed at 500-1000 words.
