Amazon.com Inc. might be many people’s dream place to work for; a high employee turnover (second position among Fortune 500 companies) seems quite ironical given its reputation and other profitability statistics.

Apparently, HR dimensions need to be taken care of if the company wishes to retain key employees and optimize their productivity. It goes without saying that employees are the cornerstone of business and ...
