In this study, Three ‘R’ are mentioned to be considered while taking employee retention strategy: RESPECT, REWARD, and RECOGNITION. The study suggest that the Employees are not satisfied with recognition and performance appraisal provided by the organization. So, they should give some importance towards it. The organization must give proper remuneration to the employees in order to retain them for a long period of time, smooth workload to reduce the stress on the employees.

It was found that by reducing ETO organizations efficiency can be enhanced. Research results revealed an interesting dimension of talent management which reflects negative relationship with organizational efficiency in TSP.

Hemalatha N and Savarimuthu A (2013), measured the level the satisfaction of employee retention techniques at GB Engineering Enterprises PVT Limited., Trichy in terms of salary, working conditions, job enrichment and education. Losing an employee can cost a company up to 150 percentage of the position’s salary, and with turnover rates averaging between 15 and 40 percent a year, it’s easy to see why some employers take great efforts to keep their employees on board and why employee retention is one of the most important aspects in the success of any company. From the analysis, the author suggests to provide high salary with better working conditions.Kanwal and Muhammad (2013), focused on the retention of employees in banks in Pakistan. Research focused on the factors that are in relevance to the bonus and rewards, satisfaction of employees with the job, training as a career exposure management team work, are the major contributors towards the employee retention in an organization. It was found that training and development had a significant impact on the employee retention. Other factors that have been recognized in the literature review had a synergic effect on the employees’ performance. Therefore it was suggested that both the employees and the Manager must work in a team and had an effective collaboration with each other while performing in the team work.Mathur, Atul and Agarwal, P. K. (2013), aimed to understand the impact of retention strategies on employee turnover in sugar industry in India. The focus of this study was on dysfunctional turnover.

It was observed that employee engagement leads to commitment and psychological attachment and reflects in the form of high retention (low attrition) of employees. The study suggested that the level of engagement in employees can be enhanced by identifying its drivers (influential factors). Organizations can design good practices in the light of findings to retain their best talent (highly skilled and specialized human resources) without much financial burden. Statistical evidence in the study confirm that the employee retention can be improved by addressing nonfinancial drivers of employee engagement like communication, recognition, manager/supervisor support (relationship), work engagement, team work and role clarity.Kwenin, O. D. and Muathe S. et.al (2013), analyzed the influence of employee rewards, job satisfaction and human resource policies on employee retention in Vodafone Ghana Limited.

The findings also revealed that job satisfaction and favorable human resource policies have positive link with retention. Moreover, the study also identified that employee job satisfaction as a strong signal for retention. Consequently, the study recommended that management of the organization should provide intrinsic values in the jobs to make them more satisfying for the employees to stay.Human resources policies were also identified to connect directly with retention, and was thus suggested that the company should take a second look at its policies to promote growth and opportunities for employees.Appiah, A. F. and David A. (2013), focused on human resource management activities that were frequently used in the mining industry in Ghana and their effect on employee retention.

Training and development, communication and information sharing, health, safety and welfare, incentives and compensation and job security factors were very significant in bringing about turnover intentions within the mining industry. The study provides insights into the effects of human resource management practices on employees’ intension to leave and retention in the mining sector in Ghana.Lakshmi Devi, R., Amalraj R. et. al. (2013), aimed to study the employee turnover ratio in a pharmaceutical industry in India. It was observed that the mean of the pull factors was higher owing to higher turnover intention of the employees. Under this study, all factors were divided into two clusters using hierarchical clustering technique namely push and pull factors. The various push factors identified in case study were: Health reasons (Personal), family problems, pursuance of higher education, behavior of boss, conflict of employees, motivation and encouragement of good work, size of the organization, difficulty of job and social status. Among the pull factors, expectation of a high salary, expectation of promotion and reputation of the organization was the most significant reasons for which the employees quit.Among the push factors, family related problems were the most significant push factor contributing to employee exit. This study concluded that the most significant factor is pull factor. The push factor also contributed to the turnover, but not significantly.Reiche Sebstian B. (2008), conducted a research to explore the determinants which influence retention capacity of MNCs. Researcher proposed a conceptual framework through linked institutional and human resource management perspectives. Labour market perspective and psychological perspective were addressed. It was found that the level of satisfaction and commitment of subsidiary staff which may be affected by HR practices can be moderate by locally oriented management style.Huselid A. Mark (1995), examined human resources literature in three ways. First, the level of analysis used to estimate the firm-level impact of HRM practices, and the perspective was strategic rather than functional. Second, the analytical focus was comprehensive. Third, this study provided one of the first tests of the prediction that the impact of High Performance Work Practices on firm performance was contingent on both the degree of complementarily, or internal fit, among these practices and the degree of alignment, or external fit, between a firm’s system of such practices and its competitive strategy. It was found that use of effective human resource management practices enhances firm performance.Ichniowski C., Shaw K., Prennushi G. (1993), analyzed the impact of cooperative and innovative HRM practices on organizational productivity. It was found that “bundles” of internally consistent HRM practices were associated with higher productivity and quality. Study concluded that perceptions of job security, compensation level, job satisfaction, organizational tenure, demographic variables such as age, gender, education, and number of dependents, organizational commitment, whether a job meets an individual’s expectations, and the expressed intention to search for another job were all predictors of employees’ leaving the organization, Sheridan (1992) also found that perceptions of organizational culture influences turnover.Spencer, G. Daniel (1986), examined the extent to which employees have opportunities to voice dissatisfaction and voluntary turnover in general care hospitals. Responses to declining firms in terms of exit and voice were extensively studied. Researcher focused on the amount of opportunity available for voice and not on the quality of that opportunity. Researcher conducted two studies for this purpose. Under first study it was found that the more an organization gives employees the opportunity to voice dissatisfaction over aspects of their work in order to change dissatisfying work situations, the greater the likelihood that its employees will remain with the organization. It was revealed that in general care hospitals Registered nurses’ turnover rates in short-term, were significantly lower in hospitals with many mechanisms for the voicing of employees’ dissatisfaction. The results of study two indicated high numbers of voice mechanisms were associated with high levels of employees’ expectancies for problem resolution and high perceived effectiveness of an organization’s procedures for resolving problems. Results revealed that high numbers of mechanisms for employee voice were associated with high retention rates.RESEARCH GAP:The Literatures on the topic of “The Study on Employee Retention” suggests the factors to retain employees, strategies to be followed to retain an employee, factors leading to employee attrition, cost to replace an employee and so.The company is aware about the low employee retention and high rate of employee attrition.
