Retaining top talent is a universal concern that is increasingly
global. However, the context, meaning, and mechanisms for changing
jobs varies around the world. Global Talent Retention:
Understanding Employee Turnover Around the World provides the first
context-specific global perspective on retaining talent. Although
extensive research informs understanding of why employees decide to
leave or remain with organizations, the bulk of theory and research
adopts a U.S.-centric perspective, problematic because most
employees do not work for firms that are U.S.-owned or based.
Global Talent Retention addresses the need for turnover theory and
research to give more careful consideration to global and
cross-cultural perspectives on employee retention, and includes
contributions from a global range of scholars in differing cultural
contexts in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle
East. The chapters represent many of the largest and most dynamic
economies in the world, including Bulgaria, China, Denmark,
Germany, India, Mexico, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Turkey,
and the UK. Each chapter provides a description of the
institutional, legal, and cultural context as it relates to
employee mobility, a review of context-specific research leading to
a description of how the mechanisms of prominent turnover theories
may operate differently in particular contexts, and the
implications for research and practice related to employee turnover
and retention.
This exploration of what employee turnover is, why it happens, and
what it means for companies and employees draws together
contemporary and classic theories and research to present a
well-rounded perspective on employee retention and turnover. The
book uses models such as job embeddedness theory, proximal
withdrawal states, and context-emergent turnover theory, as well as
highlights cultural differences affecting global differences in
turnover. Employee Retention and Turnover contextualises the issue
of turnover, its causes and its consequences, before discussing
underrepresented antecedents of turnover, key aspects of retention
and methods for regulating turnover, and future research
directions. Ideal for both academics and advanced students of
industrial/organizational psychology, Employee Retention and
Turnover is essential for understanding the past, present, and
future of turnover and related research.

Employee turnover can be expensive, disruptive, and damaging to
organizational success. Despite the importance of successfully
managing turnover, many retention management efforts are based on
misleading or incomplete data, generic best practices that don't
translate, or managerial gut instinct at odds with research
evidence. This book culminates volumes of academic research on
employee turnover into a practical guide to managing retention.
Turnover fictions are dispelled and replaced by research-based
facts. Keys to diagnosing and managing employee turnover are
presented such that you can effectively manage employee retention
today. These ideas will be invaluable to you and anyone who cares
about the impact of turnover on the organization, including the CEO
who is looking at the impact on the bottom line, managers who
suffer when their best talent leaves, and human resource
professionals whose career success may depend on effectively
managing turnover.

"A memoir that shows the private Malcolm as a man who spoke far
more of obedience, moderation, and peace than he did of
violence."
--Atlanta Journal & Constitution
Many books have been written about Malcolm X in the three decades
since his assassination, but in REMEMBERING MALCOLM, his assistant
minister Benjamin Karim reveals an intimately human side of the
great leader we have never seen before. Writing with an insider's
knowledge and a disciple's devotion, Karim paints an unforgettable
portrait of Malcolm X as counselor, minister, healer, and, above
all, a dedicated member of his community.
Here is a dramatic account of how Malcolm galvanized the Black
Muslims through his tireless work at Harlem's New York Mosque
Number Seven in the early 1960s. Here, too, are Karim's
affectionate memories of the daily rituals and beliefs that bound
Malcolm's people together--the courtship and marriage rites, the
strict customs governing relations between men and women, the
three-day fasts that ended in sumptuous sundown feasts, the
rigorous discipline, and the quiet joys sanctioned by their
faith.
REMEMBERING MALCOLM is at once a beautiful memoir about a
compelling human being and a vital historical document about one of
the true American visionaries of the twentieth century.
"Intriguing behind-the-scenes details."
--San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle
"From the Paperback edition."
