An Introduction to Employee Retention
Employee retention refers to the set of practices and strategies that an organization uses to keep its valuable employees from leaving. In essence, it is a measure of an organization's ability to prevent employee turnover, or the number of employees who depart over a given period. This concept is a critical component of talent management and a key indicator of organizational health. A company that successfully retains its employees cultivates a more stable and experienced workforce, which often translates into higher productivity, improved morale, and a stronger company culture.
