Problem <—–> to Fix (v),  to solve (v) , to provide a solution (v)

Our goal is to fix the problems…. “All the problems have some  solution,  they can be fixed.”

“What is the root of the problem?”

” The problem is, too many employees are leaving the company. For some unknown reasons, it is not working out between the administration and the employees. Therefore, we need to have a conversation with management to discuss what is happening and how things can be changed. I would like to work at a company that takes care of its’ employees. Is this company doing this, or are they taking advantage of its employees?” …. People are leaving and we want people to stay, how can we do this ?

overtime – extra work. There is no overtime pay.

Reimbursed – The company bills haven’t been reimbursed.

2 – Our company currently has a problem. Our employee turnover is much higher than the industry’s average. What would you do to help to solve the problem?

Short Answer : to keep our employees within the company. To keep the labor cost down and maintain a well- trained staff. 

First I will analyze the problem and find the root. Then I will improve in various ways:

1. We can improve company culture, create sense of attachment for employees. The working environment could also be improved. 

2. We can also change company regulations and rules in order to help new employees have a better sense of career development. 

3. According to different to employees skills, responsibilities, and their desired role in the company, we can offer them specific career path.
