This study investigates the
problems of labour turnover in a government parastatal in
Nigeria. A case study method was adopted and Risonpalm
Nigeria Limited, Port Harcourt formed the focus of the study
and the method of data collection was primary. The
statistical tool used for testing the hypothesis is the
Chi-square. In the process, we found that there is a high
rate of labour turnover in the company. We found some
causative factors like poor welfare, bad training and etc.
Taking cognizance of the fact that a high rate of labour
turnover is dysfunctional, we made certain recommendations
to ameliorate the situation. This ranges from creating
avenues for employees to climb the rung of the corporate
ladder, provision of adequate welfare facilities, better
pay, provision of good training facilities, recognition of
hard work, as well as the avoidance of incessant
retrenchment. We do not intend to put an end to turnover per
say that is dysfunctional; rather these measures are only
intended to bring the rate down to a healthy level as to aid
organizational effectiveness.
