Human Resources

Located in Illinois for the last 8 years, your organization is a medium-sized company in the medical supplies industry.  The Vice President of Operations stopped in your office to discuss a recent loss of staff. He said he has lost 3 key leaders in the last 4 months. In addition to 2 more employees he fired, several frontline workers have quit. As a good HR Director, you recognize that it would be wise to do a complete investigation of the turnover.

In a maximum of 2 double-spaced pages, explain:

What data/metrics would you gather and consider from the HRIS (Human Resource Information System) and/or external sources?  

Consult additional sources in the HR literature, beyond the course readings, to formulate your response.
