,Abstract
The purpose of this study was to make managers consciously aware of their attitude/behavior and
actions taken towards the employees at a deeper level since certain behaviors, actions and attitudes
can foster employee retention. This research is based on the three lowest scoring dimensions in the
Global Team Member survey namely communication, learning & development and rewards & benefits.
For this research a qualitative exploratory research design was chosen. This means that the
researcher conducted ten in-depth interviews with ten different managers of X Hotel the Netherlands.
After the interviews were conducted the researcher analyzed them through coding. This included three
different steps open coding, axial coding and selective coding. The results were four different themes:
organizational Communication, Learning & Development Opportunities, Rewards & Benefits System
and Managers Awareness. These themes were presented with a Setup, Quotes and Conclusion
(SQC) structure. It can be concluded that managers of X Hotel the Netherlands are aware that their
way of communicating, using learning & development and applying rewards & benefits play an
important role in the satisfaction of Team Members. However, the managers could improve their use
of all the learning & development opportunities if they know about all the opportunities for Team
Members.
