A1.

To bring down the employee turnover rate, Hard Rock has performed many steps. From ensuring that the satisfaction of their employees is the topmost priority of its human resource department to doing charity events to make the employees feel like a family with other teammates and management and hiring the employees who are the best fit for the overall vision of the company, the company understands the importance of employees who are a good fit.

Also, the company has created certain rights for its employees which they can avail through the employee bill of rights. Such dedication towards the satisfaction and contentment of its employees for the work they perform helps the company in reducing work-related stress and helps it in enjoying the loyalty and trust of its employees.
