Retention

Its been a while since my last post... yes... 6 months...
Basically, I'm not a good writer, I just post some thoughts or events happening around me that may change my life whether I realize it or not.

Today's topic is about retention or exit or termination (read: pemecatan pegawai).
Sounds scary, but that word has been filling in my work life in the past couple of weeks.

Why people exit a company?
a. Got a better job (usually related with higher salary)
b. Make mistake, received warning letters up to 3, either terminated by force or asked to resigned
c. Sick and tired toward the company, just can't stand any longer

How people exit a company?
a. Nicely and smoothly, follows the procedures, end the employment with smiles and shake hands.
b. Angry, bitter, disappointed, potentially becomes demanding and/or spreading false news/gossips
c. Gone with the winds... no sounds no nothing... just gone (unprofessional conducts)

How does company (read: HRD) should handle retention?
a. Re-read you regulation book and UU 23 no 2003 thoroughly, be extra careful, this potentially leads to demonstration or court
b. Attack the problem, never attack the person, make him/her understand the situation and agree on the result
c. Prepare the replacement, FAST! (outsource can be one of the solution)

Finally, if you ever be in my position (as the executioner), prepare your heart. Sometimes what we need to say is different with what we want to say. This is exactly the time when we need HIS wisdom. Think thoroughly, pray, consult, and do it!

Have a nice retention planning and acting!
