Job enrichment means to develop to the next stage in the work atmosphere to basically work your way up in the line.
Job enlargement is to work on the same salary but to explore other jobs to motivate the employee.

There is no strong acceptance among researchers, consultants, etc., that increased job satisfaction produces improve Job performance -- in fact, improved job satisfaction can sometimes decrease job performance. For example, you could let someone sit around all day and do nothing. That may make them more satisfied with their "work" in the short run, but their performance certainly won’t improve
Financial incentives promote work among welfare recipients when they face a fundamental challenge, Low-wage jobs, typically the only employment available to people with limited education and work experience. As a result, most programs that require welfare recipients to work succeed in increasing employment and reducing welfare receipt, This conundrum has led to a search for financial work incentive strategies that can both encourage work and reduce poverty by supplementing the earnings of individuals working in low-wage jobs.
Piece Work is when Employees are paid for each product that they produce.
Profit sharing is when the worker receives a one off bonus for high sales.
Measured day work is a payment based on the amount of work done over a period of time.

Recommendation
I believe that for the factory to improve the turnover of staff should use some or all of the recommendation below.
-
The company partnered inexperienced and experienced workers so both could benefit from each other’s knowledge - The experienced worker may impart technical skills, for example, while the newer ones may bring social/cultural lessons to the relationship. If it works, they both enjoy sharing knowledge
-
Employees are promised new job assignments - Providing employees with challenge and excitement makes them more reluctant to leave; they don’t want to risk missing a good opportunity.
-
Employees are offered retention bonuses and stock options - stock options are still an incentive for wealth or security, and thus are a magnet-like retention vehicle.
-
The company provides individual development planning - are expected to attend training seminars to boost skills
To prevent the high levels of wastage the company should use some or all of the recommendations below
-
Recycle materials – This is friendlier to the planet and could get a good name for the business
-
Use Materials efficiently – Say for example there is a big sheet of steel, use the corners of the sheet to cut and leave as little waste as possible, don’t for example cut a piece out of the middle of the steel to create a lot of waste
-
Buy Biodegradable Materials – This can prevent materials from not breaking down into compost, for example materials like polystyrene would take along time to break down into compost, but materials like paper or cardboard can be used to prevent this.
