Question

A health care organization has a variety of direct care positions in its eldercare facilities open because employees leave these jobs when they find out that they are physically demanding. The organization has hired an HR consultant to help them to redesign their recruiting process to make it more effective. What should the HR consultant recommend to this client?

a. Increase the base salary of the positions by 10%.

b. Increase advertising for the jobs on social media.

c. Use recruiting process outsourcing.

d. Use realistic job previews as part of the recruiting process.

Answer 1

d. Use realistic job previews as part of the recruiting process.

Step-by-step explanation:

The healthcare organisation is having high employee turnover in its elder care facility. This is because of the physically demanding nature of the job.

There seems to be a communication gap about the nature of the job in the elder care facility, and employees are leaving because they were not given a clear picture of the job description beforehand.

To remedy this the new HR should use realistic job preview when advertising the vacancy. This will ensure employees know what the job entails, and this will reduce staff turnover from unclear expectations.
