An Analysis of Employee Retention tactics and factors, with particular reference to the IT sector

Abstract

In a company, employee retention is crucial because it has an impact on productivity. The goal of this study is to determine how various employee retention tactics, such as performance-based bonuses, flexible work schedules, timely promotions, and career development programmes, affect both employee performance and retention. The study's findings indicated that employee retention techniques had a favourable impact on both employee performance and retention. As employees are expensive to acquire and difficult to retain, the theoretical framework of this study would encourage businesses and their employers to consider them vital resources. Researchers and academics could also benefit from the study's understanding of the significance of staff retention in a firm .This study's main goal is to identify and analyse the key determinants that influence employee retention. The following broad factors were examined in-depth in this study: health and wellness benefits, personal growth, compensation, work-life balance, recognition and rewards for top performers, superior-subordinate relationships, training and development, job characteristics and job commitment, monetary rewards, and welfare programmes. Data from 615 self-administrative questionnaires were collected in total, and SPSS v20 software was used to analyse the data.
