Update current View MVC 5 after save

I have the following code and want to update the user role with dropdown then stay on this page with the updated choice from the dropdown. I thought I could use redirectToAction to the GET ActonResult but it goes to the POST ActionResult. How do I stay on the same view with the dropdown updated with new choice? Thanks

    [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult Details(Guid? id)
    {
        if (id == null)
        {
            return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
        }

        Employee employee = db.Employees.Find(id);

        EmployeeViewModel empv = new EmployeeViewModel();
        empv.FirstName = employee.FirstName;
        empv.LastName = employee.LastName;
        empv.NetworkLoginID = employee.NetworkLoginID;
        empv.PersonID = employee.PersonID;
        empv.DataStatusID = employee.DataStatusID;
        empv.EmployeeGUID = employee.EmployeeGUID;




        Guid UserRoleGuid = (from e in db.EmployeeToUserRoles
                           where e.EmployeeGUID == empv.EmployeeGUID
                             select e.RoleGUID).FirstOrDefault();



        empv.RoleID = UserRoleGuid;

        if (employee == null)
        {
            return HttpNotFound();
        } 
        PopulatedDropDown(empv.RoleID);

        return View(empv);
    }
    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Details(Guid EmployeeGUID, Guid Roles)
    {
        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {

            EmployeeToUserRole emp = new EmployeeToUserRole();
            //check if employee was in role and update column

            var inrole = from d in db.EmployeeToUserRoles
                         where d.EmployeeGUID == EmployeeGUID                       
                         select d.EmployeeRoleGUID;

            int count = inrole.Count();

            if (count > 0  )
            {
                emp = db.EmployeeToUserRoles.Where(s => s.EmployeeGUID == EmployeeGUID).FirstOrDefault<EmployeeToUserRole>();

                emp.RoleGUID = Roles;
                db.Entry(emp).State = EntityState.Modified;


                db.SaveChanges();
            }

            else
            { 

            emp.EmployeeRoleGUID = Guid.NewGuid();
            emp.RoleGUID = Roles;
            emp.EmployeeGUID = EmployeeGUID;

            db.EmployeeToUserRoles.Add(emp);
            db.SaveChanges();
            }


            PopulatedDropDown(Roles);

            RedirectToAction("Details", new { id = emp.EmployeeGUID });

        }

        return View();


    }

You need to return the RedirectToAction Result.

return RedirectToAction("Details", new { id = emp.EmployeeGUID });

This will make the browser to do a GET request to the Details action with the value of emp.EmployeeGUID. You need to set the corresponding property (for the role) of your view model in that after reading the Employee entity from your db.
