      Managing Staff Turnover

      Managing Staff Turnover

      by Häfner, Alexander; Truschel, Christina

      The long-term retention of top performers is of great economic relevance for companies. Unwanted staff turnover generates high costs in companies and is often accompanied by losses in terms of quality, customer satisfaction and productivity. In addition, it is becoming increasingly difficult to recruit good specialists and managers on the labor market. Based on the current state of research, this book describes guidelines for the systematic analysis of reasons for staff turnover and provides practical recommendations for how to retain top performers (e.g., conducting retention interviews, designing attractive career paths). It also explains how classic HR tools, such as employee surveys or team meetings, can help prevent unwanted turnover. The topics presented range from the initial training, through discussions to clarify expectations, to exit interviews and typical problems encountered when implementing turnover management. Special emphasis is placed on the question of what both immediate superiors (e.g. team leaders) and those responsible for personnel and organizational development as well as the management can do to prevent unwanted staff turnover. Case studies from various industries (e.g. production, retail, care) round off this book. For:• professionals in leadership positions• HR managers• personnel and organizational developers• business consultants, coaches, and supervisors• personnel psychologists• students and teachers of industrial, business andorganizational psychology as well as businessadministration

      The value of a whale

      On the illusions of green capitalism

      by Adrienne Buller

      Nature is collapsing at an unprecedented rate. Despite countless pledges and summits, we remain on course for a catastrophic 3C of warming. And in a world of immense wealth, billions still live below the poverty line - and on the frontlines of environmental breakdown. Increasingly, the world is waking up this reality, but are the 'solutions' being proposed really solutions? In this searing and insightful critique, Adrienne Buller examines the escalating plunder of the natural world under financial capitalism, and exposes the fatal biases that have shaped climate and environmental policymaking. Tracing the intricate connections between financial power, vested interests and environmental governance, she exposes the myopic economism and market-centric thinking presently undermining a future where all life can flourish. Both honest and optimistic, How to value the earth asks us - in the face of crisis - what we really value.

      Tourism Behaviour

      Travellers' Decisions and Actions

      by Edited by Roger StG March, Arch G Woodside

      Consumers' planned behaviour is often very different to what is actually carried out. Consumer plans can relate to four behaviours: planned and done (deliberate strategies), planned and not done (unrealized strategies), unplanned and done (emergent strategies) and unplanned and not done (unused strategies). This book examines alternative theories and the empirical testing of how planning relates to doing. It considers tourist spending, length of stay, attractions, destinations, accommodation and activities and looks at how marketing strategies affect consumer plans.

      Ecotourism

      Principles and Practices

      by Ralf C Buckley

      Ecotourism is a useful concept, but not a very well defined one; it has been debated in theory and attempted in practice for nearly two decades. Its key goal is to reduce the net environmental impact of the tourism industry, via mechanisms including minimal impact management measures, education, community involvement, private conservation, contributions to public protected areas, expansion of ecotourism enterprises and mainstreaming of ecotourism principles. Focussing on fundamental ecotourism concepts, this broad-based textbook provides a basis for studies into environment-based tourism. It covers key topics such as the management, economics and potential environmental impacts both positive and negative of this popular and growing sector. Written for tourism students and an ideal resource for undergraduate courses, Ecotourism: Principles and Practices will also interest industry practitioners and researchers. Now you can access additional content items for this textbook. You can download pdfs of powerpoint slides as study aids and to assist in teaching the subject matter.

      Health Benefits of Organic Food

      Effects of the Environment

      by Edited by D I Givens, Samantha Baxter, Anne Marie Minihane, Elizabeth J Shaw.

      Public concern over impacts of chemicals in plant and animal production on health and the environment has led to increased demand for organic produce, which is usually promoted and often perceived as containing fewer contaminants, more nutrients, and being positive for the environment.These benefits are difficult to quantify, and potential environmental impacts on such benefits have not been widely studied. This book addresses these key points, examining factors such as the role of certain nutrients in prevention and promotion of chronic disease, potential health benefits of bioactive compounds in plants, the prevalence of food-borne pesticides and pathogens and how both local and global environmental factors may affect any differences between organic and conventionally produced food.With contributions from experts in a broad range of related disciplines, this book is an essential resource for researchers and students in human health and nutrition, environmental science, agriculture and organic farming.
