google also have to give attention to all the other employees working there.

Manual/craft workers 15.8 17.9 15.3
These figures revealed a significant increase in turnover and an unfavourable comparison

with the most recent national figures in each case except one. Anecdotal evidence obtained
from managers indicated that the problems of retention and the increasing time taken to fill
vacancies were beginning to cause serious problems for the business.
What more would be needed
My recommendations would be
1. Avoid or minimize the use of agencies to recruitment staff. This will enable the
company to broaden its source of recruits.
2. Company recruit high quality graduates from small number of university. Instead of
this they can explore the other university. Company can also increase their online
advertisement
3. Company can offer some training for line manager to interview techniques, so that it
might help line managers to applicant better.
4. Company can reduce the length of time positions are vacant
b) Summarize the case and outline the recommendations you would make
International Polymers is a Minneapolis corporation (the original centre for research and
development) with subsidiaries in a number of countries, including the United Kingdom. Its
‘value targets’ are to:
 achieve outstanding financial performance;
 achieve customer satisfaction via innovation;
 be a role model in the community;
 Be the best speciality chemical company to work for.
Polymers UK, a subsidiary of International Polymers has been in existence for three years
and has over 650 staff. It has been conducting intensive recruitment campaign over the said
years in the highly competitive local and national labour market but later on experiences
retention and retention problems.
ISSUE
Problems of retention and the increasing time to fill vacancies are beginning to cause serious
problems for the business; primary exigency would be the cost of labour turnover.
The recruitment manager found that manufacturing staff (mainly technicians) and other
professional and administrative staff had been recruited with some difficulty because of the
competitive nature of the labour market – the time taken to fill vacancies had increased from
10 to 12 days over the last year.
The main objectives of this are to:
 Reduce the cost of labor turnover.

 Reduce the length of time positions are vacant.
 Solve the retention problems.
RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to attain the first objective or reduction of cost of labour turnover, the second
third objectives must first be settled.
For the reduction of length of time positions are vacant, the company must be known for
being the best specialty chemical company to work for and should come up with better
recruiting scope and techniques.
Lastly, to solve the retention problems, the company must foster a positive work
environment that supports the employee well-being, maintain its good reputation, tighten
interpersonal links in the company, strengthen the sense of unity and belonging, increase in
the rates of pay, and development of benefits and rewards system.
