CHAPTER - I
CHAPTER-1
A lack of satisfaction and commitment to the organization can also cause an employee
to withdraw and begin looking for each opportunities Pay does not always play as large a role
in including turnover as is typically believed.
However, this isn’t always the case. Employers can seek “positive turnover” whereby
they aim to maintain only those employees whom they consider to be high performers.

HERZBERG’S THEORY :
Herzberg’s system of needs is segmented into motivators and hygiene factors. Like
Maslow’s Hierarchy, motivators are often unexpected bonuses that foster the desire to excel.
Hygiene factors include expected conditions that if missing will create dissatisfaction.
Examples of hygiene factors include bathrooms, lighting and the appropriate tools for a given
job. Employers must utilize positive reinforcement methods while maintaining expected
hygiene factors to maximize employee satisfaction and retention.
Employee retention refers to the various policies and practices which let the
employees stick to an organization for a longer period of time

This project has been prepared with an intention to make one realize and
understand the significance of employee retention.
Employee retention has become a major goal of the organization.
Initially retention was only talked about, but now in today’s corporate world,
recruitment has become just part of HRM. Major importance is attached to
employee retention.
This project not only aims to present the theoretical aspects, but the practical
aspects as well. A survey has been done to understand the strategies followed by
various organizations to ensure Employee Retention.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES
A project will does not have its objectives clear. If one knows the goal, only then the
right path can be decided and with disciplined work and positive attitude achieving these
objectives will be a catwalk.
Therefore, we also set down the objectives before starting the project, which are as follows:
Rana Hussain, Aiza (2013), examined the influence of talent management (TM) and
employee turnover intention (ETO) on organizational efficiency (OE) in telecommunication
sector of Pakistan (TSP). 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. This finding
reflected that TM sometime elevates ETO and reduces the OE.TSP needs to reduce
employee turnover rate by managing the talent properly to elevate OE.
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.
Narang, Uma (2013), analyzed the impact of HRM practices i.e. career development
opportunities, supervisor support, working environment, rewards and work-life policies on
employee retention in the banks. The retention of human resources has been shown to be
momentous to the development and the accomplishment of the organization’s goals and
1
objectives. Increased emphasis has been laid on retention especially with the onset of
revolution of information technology which is human sensitive. The findings of the study
concluded that there was a good relationship between the employee retention and the
HRM practices. The frequencies of career development, allocation of rewards
regarding work and work environment revealed the highest values in relation to their
perceived level of retention with the concern. It was recommended that Organizations
should provide their employees with the best career growth opportunities, working
environment, rewards, supervisor support and work-life balance and should work on them.

RESEARCH DESIGN
In fact, the research is design the conceptual structure within which research is
conducted; it constitutes the blue print of the collection, measurement and analysis of data.
The design is such studies must be rigid and not flexible.
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH
The present study is descriptive in nature, as it seeks to discover the current situation.
It is useful in terms of displaying the prevailing facts in the organization and resolving them
in a logical manner by providing relevant solutions
DATA COLLECTION:
For any problem to be analyzed and solved data is of absolute need. Data should be
collected and interpreted for gaining a better understanding of the problem. The first step of
any research design is the collection of data.
Primary data
Secondary data
PRIMARY DATA
Primary data is collected a fresh and for the first time and thus happens to be original
in character. The method for collection of primary data was done through Questionnaire
method.

SECONDARY DATA
It is that data which has already been collected by an individual and already been
passed through the statistical process. Secondary data may either be published data or
unpublished data.
SAMPLING
The sampling method I have chosen is where the samples in the organization were
150 employees who have gone through the process which denotes the population size and
necessary data was collected from them respectively.
SAMPLING TECHNIQUE
Percentage analysis

Time is very short for research, so this is very difficult to get the knowledge about
everything.
Since the filling of questionnaire and interviews need special attention so may be the
employees are less interested in entertaining.
The information was collected through the questionnaire is subject to willingness of
the respondent to respond.
