Abstract
This paper provides an inside look at the high employee turnover rates at Convergys, a corporation focused on consulting and customer relation services to its universal clients. A discussion of the Convergys reward system looks at how floor management and its supervisors benefit from rewards while the entry level employee receives little or no bonuses. An analysis of the monetary rewards allocated against the high employee turnover rate is also included. A detailed plan to promote employee loyalty and satisfaction as well as increase production, which will benefit Convergys, is included. In the conclusion the author, a former employee, provides a personal reflection of his time at Convergys.

"Now on the lower-order of this Maslow's theory falls under the human basic needs which is defined as physiological which this encompasses the issue of bathroom, 15-minute breaks and 30-minute lunch breaks(Mittelman, W. 1991). The supervisors fail to be proactive in attempts to try to alleviate this basic human needs issue which only causes more frustration on the floor and stresses out the employees who need to take breaks for legitimate or personal reasons. This lack of concern may also evolve into safety, where employees' interpersonal events may be drastically affected in the workplace. An employee may have certain health routines that must be adhered to in a timely manner but failing to go on 15-minutes breaks or brief bathroom breaks may hinder an employee's interaction with co-workers, attention to detail, following rules and actively listening to supervisors or management."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"If clients' answers show a high dissatisfaction level, I would change the particular point where the dissatisfaction is observed. If it is about providers, the solution could be to contact them and trying to define ways to improve their work relationship. If the provider does not feel concerned by customer service, I would find another one. If the problem is about the payment delay, we can have a negotiation with clients during the contract negotiation and extend payment delay or split the payment in several times."
