1) On February 14, 2008, we were assigned an on-line activity, which included a discussion about recruiting. We were first assigned to watch a video, which discussed what it means to recruit and retain the new generation of employees. After watching this video, I collected information about today’s workforce and what it means to be either senior employee or a new generation employees. I came to understand that regardless of being a senior or new generation employee there are always upsides or downsides. After reading literature on this subject, we had to discuss five questions on how to recruit and retain employees. Our discussion was rather good, as we were able to come up with different scenarios that could help managers recruit and retain employees. We had concluded that employee empowerment, rewards, training, etc. all help with retaining employees.

This is a government webpage that offers training.
This is a picture of an employee being trained.
3) So far I have worked for two banks. The first bank I have worked for really did not bother to empower employees in any way shape or form. The job was rather mundane, and bosses were not concerned about employee motivation. This is when I realized that I should look for a different job. Starting at the second bank, I hoped for more support, empowerment, direction, learning, motivation, etc. I am saddened to say that even the second job did not offer any of the above mentioned scenarios. I am not sure if it is the banking industry, or just current lack of management communication.
