One of the current issues worth discussing is the shift in the labor policy of Walmart and the 
implications it would have both for the company and the employees. Till recently, Walmart 
provided very limited training to employees and most of the learning in this regard was on the 
job only. Further, due to lower investment by the company and also the low salary rates 
offered, the productivity of employees remained low and also the turnover remained high. 
This was in sharp contrast to the model adopted by the fellow retailer Costco which invested 
in the employees and paid a higher salary but on account of higher productivity had nearly 
half as many employees. Walmart is concerned about the significant turnover costs and 
estimated that reducing the turnover could result in significant savings to the company. As 
the company moves to this new labor system, it is expected to witness an improvement in the 
productivity of labor and thus would require lower amount of labor for the same amount of 
work. This would potentially lead to layoffs of excess employees in order to ensure that 
productivity gains could be realized by the company and enhance the bottomline even while 
increasing the pay of the employees (Worstall, 2015).
