In Amazon, the busiest days are during holidays, and it’s also the best time for company to make profit. There is a heated debate about whether Amazon should hire more helpers or give employees break . “Amazon company said it will hire 80,000 seasonal employees this year, up from 50,000 two years ago.”
I disagree with Amazon ‘s act. If it continues to hire employees during the holidays,it tends to cause growing hatred by employees. The employee satisfaction is very important especially in these kind of service requires lots of energy and patience in repeating the boring work.If company didn ’t deal with it well, employees are easily quit, which leads company to loss the most vital human resources .Since production line of Amazon is mainly assembling products ,the lack of labor lags efficiency of key activities directly. Then companies needs extra time to train new employees ,which causes the delay of delivery and whole production line. Amazon should focus on HR management and enhance relationship with employees like Costco .The CEO in Costco states that employees deserve thanksgiving off and the Costco closed all day during holidays .The employees turnover rate in Costco is only 12% compared with 20% in Amazon.
