Outline how a business can align with national policy, and suggest two HRM factors that may contribute to high employee turnover.

The business can align with the national policy by focusing on the HRM objective of promoting diversity and inclusion and the societal responsibility of promoting equal opportunity.

To maintain workplace harmony while integrating youth and women into managerial roles, the business should:

• Implement structured training programs for all employees to foster understanding and address potential biases related to age and gender.
• Establish mentorship and development programs specifically for new youth and women managers to support their integration, skill development, and leadership capabilities, ensuring a smooth transition and minimizing disruption.

Two possible HRM factors contributing to high employee turnover in the retail chain are:

• Low Wages: Inadequate compensation is a significant HRM factor. If employees perceive their wages as insufficient for their work or compared to market rates, they are likely to seek better-paying opportunities, leading to high turnover.
• Poor Supervision: This HRM factor relates to the quality of management and employee relations. Ineffective, unsupportive, or unfair supervision can create a negative work environment, causing dissatisfaction, stress, and a desire to leave the company, especially among frontline staff.
