Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper in which you evaluate the various types of turnover outlined in the following scenarios:

• A sales associate, who is slightly above average in the number of sales, has decided to leave the company for a competitor.
• As the HR manager, what are your concerns about this person’s exit from the company?
• In what ways might this be positive turnover?
• In what ways might it be negative?
• After training a new inspector for a year, a city decides to terminate his employment. Although the inspector is technically competent, local contractors have made many complaints about his lack of customer service and approach to enforcement.
• In what ways might this be positive turnover?
• In what ways might it be negative?

Discuss, in general, the benefits of turnover to the organization, and compare it to turnover that is unhealthy for the organization.
