A bank notices that employee turnover among newly recruited officers is particularly high during the first year. Exit interviews indicate that employees have unrealistic expectations about their roles, receive inadequate support from supervisors and see limited early career development opportunities. Which combination of HR interventions would be most appropriate?

This is an integrated HR problem rather than simply a recruitment problem. The evidence points towards: Unrealistic expectations → realistic job previews Inadequate organisational support → stronger onboarding and supervisor support Limited career development → career planning and development opportunities Therefore, B provides the most comprehensive response. Why the other options are incorrect A: Shortening induction would potentially worsen the adjustment problem. C: Punishing employees for resignation does not address the causes of turnover. D: Reducing training would likely increase the problem. E: External recruitment does not solve retention problems.
