Retention
Retention is an organisation's ability to keep employees over time by creating a workplace where people feel valued, supported, and motivated to stay. It's shaped by factors like job satisfaction, career growth, leadership, recognition, and workplace culture. Strong retention reduces turnover, saves recruitment costs, and maintains a skilled, engaged workforce.
