ABSTRACT
Employee retention is a process in which the employees are encouraged to remain with
the organization for the maximum period of time or until the completion of the project.
Employee retention is beneficial for the organization as well as the employee.
Employees today are different. They are not the ones who don’t have good
opportunities in hand. As soon as they feel dissatisfied with the current employer or the
job, they switch over to the next job. It is the responsibility of the employer to retain their
best employees. If they don’t, they would be left with no good employees. A good
employer should know how to attract and retain its employees.

Most employees feel that they are worth more than they are actually paid. There is a
natural disparity between what people think they should be paid and what organizations
spend in compensation. When the difference becomes too great and another
opportunity occurs, turnover can result. Pay is defined as the wages, salary, or
compensation given to an employee in exchange for services the employee performs
for the organization. Pay is more than "dollars and cents;" it also acknowledges the
worth and value of the human contribution. What people are paid has been shown to
have a clear, reliable impact on turnover in numerous studies.

Employees comprise the most vital assets of the company. In a work place where
employees are not able to use their full potential and not heard and valued, they are
likely to leave because of stress and frustration. In a transparent environment while
employees get a sense of achievement and belongingness from a healthy work
environment, the company is benefited with a stronger, reliable work-force harbouring
bright new ideas for its growth Blog Online and Earn Money.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction of the study:

Employee Retention involves taking measures to encourage employees to remain in the


organization for themaximum period of time. It is a process in which the employees are
encouraged to remain with the organizationfor the maximum period of time or until the
completion of the project. Employee retention is beneficial for theorganization as well as the
employee. Effective employee retention is a systematic effort by employers to createand foster
an environment that encourages current employees to remain employed, by having policies
andpractices in place that address their diverse needs. Retention of key employees is critical to
the long-term healthand success of any organization. It is a known fact that retaining the best
employees ensures customersatisfaction, increased product sales, satisfied colleagues and
reporting staff, effective succession planning, anddeeply embedded organizational knowledge
and learning. Employee retention matters, as organizational issuessuch as training time and
investment, lost knowledge, insecure employees, and a costly candidate search areinvolved.
Hence, failing to retain a key employee is a costly proposition for an organization. Various
estimatessuggest that losing a middle manager in most organizations costs up to five times his
salary. Corporate is facinga lot of problems in employee retention these days. Hiring
knowledgeable people for the job is essential for an employer, but retention is even more
important than hiring.

There is no dearth of opportunities for a talented person. There are many organizations
which are looking forsuch employees. If a person is not satisfied by the job he’s doing, he may
switch over to some other moresuitable job. In today’s environment it becomes very important

PIMT RAJPURA
EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN PRIVATE SECTOR| 11

for organizations to retain their employees. Thetop organizations are on the top because they
value their employees and they know how to keep them glued tothe organization. Intelligent
employers always realize the importance of retaining the best talent. Retainingtalent has never
been so important in the Indian scenario; however, things have changed in recent years.
Inprominent Indian metros at least, there is no dearth of opportunities for the best in the business,
or even for thesecond or third best. Retention of key employees and treating attrition troubles has
never been so important tocompanies. In an intensely competitive environment where HR
managers are poaching from each other,organizations can either hold on to their employees tight
or lose them to competition. For gone are the dayswhen employees would stick to an employer
for years for want of a better choice. Now, opportunities areabound. Employees stay and leave
organizations for some reasons. The reason may be personal or professional.These reasons
should be understood by the employer and should be taken care of. The organizations
arebecoming aware of these reasons and adopting many strategies for employee retention. A
strong retentionstrategy, therefore, becomes a powerful recruitment tool.

Employee retention is a new era of modern technology and competitive business


environment. Organizations are continuously changing .this changing environment is not only
effecting the organizations but also the employees working in it. In order to maximize
organizational efficiency and for optimal utilization of the resources, human resources must be
managed properly. Human resource management plays a vital role in this regard. They are
responsible that how employees are treated in the organization. Employee retention is a vital
issue and challenge to all the organizations now days. There are numbers of factors which
promote the employees to stay or leave the organization. It may be external factors, internal
factors and the combined effect of both. Human resource practices counts a lot in this regard.It is
the need of the hour that hr managers should identify the needs of the employee and then devises
the retention strategies. One strategy does not fit to all as different individuals have different
priorities. Hr professionals face the vital challenge to retain talented employees. Employee
retention is very critical to the long term health of any organization. When an organization loses
its talented employee it lefts a negative impact on innovation, customer satisfaction, knowledge
gain during the past years and on the profitability of the organization .more over replacing cost
of another employee contribute a lot to the organization.

1.2 Definition of the study:


He explains the first key to success is indeed people. He fined the right people first; the
vision and strategy can follow. It is the people in organization, who are the key to success.

The organizations want to hold the valued employees. Many approaches are used in this
regard. The one approach sees success in rewards the second in making jobs more valuable
(training and advancement).
- Jim Collins

PIMT RAJPURA

The relationship between the employee’s job performance and their retention also differ
significantly with organizational culture values. The cultural effects were stronger than the
combined influences of the labour market and the new employees’ demographic characteristics.
- John e. Sheridan

1.3 Retain employees:


Motivation is necessary for work performance because, if people do not feel inclined to
engage themselves in work behavior, they will not put in necessary efforts to perform well.
However, performance of individual in the organization depends on variety of factors besides
motivation. It is therefore desirable to identify various factors. For instance, employees’
knowledge and skills are important performance drivers. Another factor is the company’s ability
to retain its employees with attractive benefit packages. Motivation is a prominent tool to retain
employees with greater compensation packages.

Companies have now realized the importance of retaining their qualitative workforce and
retaining their quality performers, contributes to productivity of the organization and increase
morale among employees. Middle and top management plays a vital role in the people
dimensions of the organization. The organization culture in a long run converts to organizational
ethics and people feel reluctant to leave by making it as a stepping stone when appreciation and
rewards in form of compensation awaits them in comparisons to the market trend. In view of the
description given it is necessary to examine the facts as how to retain them. There are four basic
factors that play an important role in increasing employees’ retention, include: salary and
remuneration, providing recognition, benefits and opportunities for individual growth as
presented in figure 1.1. But are they really positively contributing to the retention rates of the
company? Salary these days hardly reduce turnover. Today’s employees look beyond money
factor. In order to ensure that organizations are behaving more customer-oriented, they need to
be equally employee centric in order to match the intellectual property and their products and
services.

1.4 Importance of the study:

Employee Retention refers to the techniques employed by the management to help the
employees stay with the organization for a longer period of time. Employee retention strategies
go a long way in motivating the employees so that they stick to the organization for the
maximum time and contribute effectively. Sincere efforts must be taken to ensure growth and
learning for the employees in their current assignments and for them to enjoy their work.

Let us understand why retaining a valuable employee is essential for an


organization:

 Hiring is not an easy process: The HR Professional shortlists few individuals from a

large pool of talent, conducts preliminary interviews and eventually forwards it to the
respective line managers who further grill them to judge whether they are fit for the
organization or not. Recruiting the right candidate is a time consuming process.
 An organization invests time and money in grooming an individual and makes him

ready to work and understand the corporate culture: A new joinee is completely raw
and the management really has to work hard to train him for his overall development. It is
a complete wastage of time and money when an individual leaves an organization all of a
sudden. The HR has to start the recruitment process all over again for the same vacancy;
a mere duplication of work. Finding a right employee for an organization is a tedious job
and all efforts simply go waste when the employee leaves.
 When an individual resigns from his present organization, it is more likely that he

would join the competitors: In such cases, employees tend to take all the strategies,
policies from the current organization to the new one. Individuals take all the important
data, information and statistics to their new organization and in some cases even leak the
secrets of the previous organization. To avoid such cases, it is essential that the new
joinee is made to sign a document which stops him from passing on any information even
if he leaves the organization. Strict policy should be made which prevents the employees
to join the competitors. This is an effective way to retain the employees.

PIMT RAJPURA
EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN PRIVATE SECTOR| 15

 The employees working for a longer period of time are more familiar with the

company’s policies, guidelines and thus they adjust better: They perform better than
individuals who change jobs frequently. Employees who spend a considerable time in an
organization know the organization in and out and thus are in a position to contribute
effectively.
 Every individual needs time to adjust with others: One needs time to know his team

members well, be friendly with them and eventually trust them. Organizations are always
benefited when the employees are compatible with each other and discuss things among
themselves to come out with something beneficial for all. When a new individual
replaces an existing employee, adjustment problems crop up. Individuals find it really
difficult to establish a comfort level with the other person. After striking a rapport with an
existing employee, it is a challenge for the employees to adjust with someone new and
most importantly trust him. It is a human tendency to compare a new joinee with the
previous employees and always find faults in him.
 It has been observed that individuals sticking to an organization for a longer span

are more loyal towards the management and the organization: They enjoy all kinds
of benefits from the organization and as a result are more attached to it. They hardly
badmouth their organization and always think in favour of the management. For them the
organization comes first and all other things later.
 It is essential for the organization to retain the valuable employees showing

potential: Every organization needs hardworking and talented employees who can really
come out with something creative and different. No organization can survive if all the top
performers quit. It is essential for the organization to retain those employees who really
work hard and are indispensable for the system.

1.6 Background of the Study:


The retention of employees has been shown to be significant to the developmentand the
accomplishment of the organization’s goals and objectives. Retention ofEmployees can be a vital
source of competitive advantage for any organization.This study attempted to explore the main
factors that contribute to employeeRetention existing in the private sector in Kuwait. The next
paragraphs discuss theBackground of the study by clarifying the theoretical framework for the
mainProblems with employee retention.

Today, changes in technology, global economics, trade agreements, and the likeare
directly affecting employee/employer relationships. “Until recently, loyalty wasthe cornerstone
of that relationship. The loss of talented employees may be veryDetrimental to the company’s
future success. Outstanding employees may leave anOrganization because they become
dissatisfied, under paid or unmotivated (Coff1996), and while trying to retain employees within
the organization they maypresent other challenges as well. They may demand higher wages, not
comply withorganization practices, and not interact well with their co-workersor comply
withtheir managers’ directions.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Muhammad Hassan (1): Employee retention is the vital challenge in all organizations. This
papers focus on one industry that is the leather industry of Pakistan which is facing the same
problem of retention of employees due to many reasons. As Leather industry is the third largest
export earning sector in Pakistan so these reasons are discussed in detail. The turnover rate in
Leather Industry of Pakistan is around 25 – 30% annually, its observed that mostly second line
managers change their job’s for high salaries offer, recognition, authority and also to seek for
more knowledge and to get more competitive edge in terms of processing; In tanneries its critical
and alarming because of the process and article secrecy. In order to achieve competitive
advantage, maximum utilization of resources and to get organizational efficiency employees
must be retained in a true spirit in order to cope with all these conditions. In this paper the
authors tried to know the reasons behind this dilemma that how employees can be retained and
some suggestions were given to deal with it. One edge of this paper is that one of the author
belongs to the same industry i.e. leather industry.

Tammy C. Morse (2): Humor has been in existence since the beginning of time. Some even
claim that humor is the best preventive medicine for stress management and good health. If
humor is good for living productively, can it also be good for employee retention and/or
employee satisfaction? The purpose of this conceptual and practical paper is to explore the extent
to which the use of appropriate humor relates to employee retention and satisfaction, which can
enhance the commitment, cohesiveness and performance of a company’s workforce. Another
objective is to explore and emphasize the importance of humor and employee retention in the
workplace. The paper provides practical recommendations for today’s managers and offers a
focus for future researchers to empirically test the use of humor and its relationship to employee
retention and employee satisfaction.

Muhammad Umer(3): Investigate the impact of variables (career development, supervisor


support, work environment, work life balance) on employee retention.A total of 50 interviews
were taken from managers of different BPO organizations in Pakistan. Graphical Analysis is
indicating that these variables have significant and positive impact on employee retention. Very
less research have been done about employee retention in business process out sourcing,
especially in Pakistan. So, these finding will provide some insights to BPO’s managers to make
policies about employee retention in Pakistan.

Ruslan Gurtoviy(4): We model deferred compensation as a share of an uncertain future profit


granted by a nancially constrained employer to her employee in mutual agreement. Deferred
compensation serves as a retention mechanism, helping the employer to avoid bankruptcy. The
optimal combination of cash and deferred payments that a firm can use to retain qualified
personnel depends on the cost of new credit and bank- ruptcy risk: If interest rates are greater
(smaller) than the ex-ante odds of bankruptcy, the employer will to defer compensation (pay in
cash) to the employee. The employee always improves his position in the labor market if
imminent bankruptcy is avoided.

Klara Nelson(5): Illuminates significant relationships between three major knowledge


management (KM) design dimensions and the perceived ability of 150 organizations to retain
their knowledge workers. Knowledge worker retention is a critical challenge for today’s
organizations as they face increasing global competition with its demands for even more such
workers, while dramatically shifting workforce demographics hasten their exit. KM design
initiatives that accelerate knowledge creation, acquisition, and particularly knowledge capture,
sharing and retention, are receiving unprecedented levels of investment as a result. While many
factors impact organization financial performance, this research indicates that successful
knowledge worker retention is significantly related with higher reported financial performance.
The implications of these results are noted.

Dr. Nafees A. Khan(6):Retention of Key employees is critical to the long term health and
success of any organization. It is a known fact that retaining the best employees, ensures
customer satisfaction, increased product sales, satisfied colleagues and reporting staff, effective

PIMT RAJPURA
EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN PRIVATE SECTOR| 19

succession planning and deeply imbedded organizational knowledge and learning. Now days
companies are struggling to retain employees. As employee attrition has continuously been on
increase, and its coeval phenomenon of employee retention has become an evolving concept.
The ultimate solution to the ever increasing employee attrition is to increase employee
engagement/ involvement in the organizations.

Atif Anis(7): Employee retention is a critical aspect for every company regarding competitive
advantage because human resource is the most critical asset of today’s modern world. Other
resources can be arranged effortlessly but to get efficient and retain talented human capital is the
most difficult task. Therefore, organizations are now more focused towards employee retention.
Organizations use different HR techniques for retention. Our main emphasis is on compensation
packages after employee training and development practices for retention purposes. We will also
see how a relaxed work environment will help in the retention of employees. For this purpose,
we conducted this study in Lahore and collected data from corporate groups. The numbers of
respondents in our study are 330. For analysis we used the structural equation modelling
technique with the use of AMOS 18.0. In this study, we used compensation as the mediating
variable between the training and retention of employees. Results reveal that retaining
employee’s long term, after their training and development has been completed, without
increasing their compensations is not as favourable as when compensation is increased to reflect
the completion ability to apply their field related skills and capabilities.

Ijaz-Ur-Rehman(8): Comprehensive survey to date of labour turnover and employee loyalty in


New Zealand. The widely held view that the New Zealand worker has become more mobile in
the contemporary labour market is shown to be somewhat simplistic. Instead, the picture is one
of increasing employment stability as people get older and as they become better paid, lending
support to the idea that there are identifiable developmental stages affecting the careers of both
men and women. In terms of the reasons for employee turnover, the study demonstrates that
motivation for job change is multidimensional: no one factor will explain it. While interesting
work is the strongest attractor and retainer in the labour market, the results also show that there is
a strong employee expectation that management should make personnel decisions based on
merit, demonstrate that extrinsic rewards (such as pay, promotion and security) play a role in

PIMT RAJPURA
EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN PRIVATE SECTOR| 20

both employee retention and turnover, lend support to the idea that there is growing concern with
work–life balance, and underline the retention value of good relationships with co-workers and
supervisors. The results demonstrate that employee turnover is not riskless for individuals: some
benefit a lot (for example, in finding worthwhile promotion), while others do badly out of it. The
study offers suggestions for improving retention in firms with dysfunctional employee turnover.

Malvern W. Chiboiwa(9): Worldwide, a number of factors have been attributed to the increase
in the level of employee turnover. The way people are paid, recognised and achieve salary
advancement are critical factors in attracting, retaining, and motivating employees. The
challenge for most organisations today is the formulation of an effective employee retention
strategy that will help in retaining employees that are considered critical in attaining
organisational goals. The prevailing hostile economic environment in Zimbabwe has made the
formulation of a realistic retention strategy particularly difficult for managers in the face of an
ever changing economic environment that is characterised by hyper inflation with a depleted
labour market occasioned by skill emigration. This research was a case study of a major private
sector medical laboratory company in Zimbabwe and was aimed at achieving the following
objectives: identify the causes of employee turnover in the organisation, examine the current
retention practices in the organisation, establish the effectiveness of the practices, and attempt a
workable retention practice that could reduce the high rate of employee turnover in the
organisation. Qualitative research design was employed using structured interviews as well as
administering research questionnaire to all category of employees. The total population of the
organisation nationwide comprised of 3820 employees with a sample size of 2240 respondents.
The result of the research showed that labour turnover is higher amongst non-managerial
employees. Similarly, majority of the employees would soon quit the organisation and lastly, the
high rate of employee turnover in the organisation is largely attributed to poor reward system
administration.

Ward Whitt(10): A mathematical model is developed to help analyze the Benet in contact-
center perfor- mance obtained from increasing employee (agent) retention, by increasing agent
job satisfaction. The contact-center \performance" may be restricted to a traditional productivity
measure such as the number of calls answered per hour or it may include a broader measure of

PIMT RAJPURA
EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN PRIVATE SECTOR| 21

the quality of service, e.g., revenue earned per hour or the number of problems successfully
resolved per hour. The analysis is based on an idealized model of a contact center, in which the
number of employed agents is constant over time, assuming that a new agent is immediately
hired to replace each departing agent. The agent employment periods are assumed to be
independent and identically distributed random variables with a general agent-retention
probability distribution, which depends upon management policy and actions. The steady-state
staff experiencedistributionis obtained from the agent-retention distribution by applying renewal
theory. An increasing real-valued function specifies the average performance as a function of
agent experience. Convenient closed-form expressions for the overall performance as a function
of model elements are derived when either the agent-retention distribution or the performance
function has exponential structure. Management actions may cause the agent-retention
distribution to change. The model describes the consequences of such changes upon the long-run
average staff experience and the long-run average performance.

Aaisha Arbab Khan(11): Identify factors reducing employee turnover and to explore the impact
of retention strategies on workforce. Serena Hotel, Faisalabad, Pakistan was selected as sample
for this study because of its uniqueness in practicing modern HR techniques. The research was
based on case study method; for this purpose thirty surveys and six face to face interviews with
key personnel were carried out. A total of 36 respondents were selected within the population of
285. Variables like HR strategies, work place environment, training and development, and
compensation were found more effective in employee retention at Serena Faisalabad. The study
revealed that for higher control over retention, management must work over monetary rewards
and career progression. Overall, current HR practices at Serena may be benchmarked by others
to decrease turnover.

William A. Brown (12): Non-profit organizations rely on the mission to attract resources and
guide decision making. Increasingly, mission statements are recognized as a strong management
tool that can motivate employees and keep them focused on the organization’s purpose. This
research investigated employee attitudes toward the mission in a youth and recreation service
organization. In general, the employees expressed positive attitudes toward the organization’s
mission, and those attitudes were related to employee satisfaction and intentions to remain with

PIMT RAJPURA
EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN PRIVATE SECTOR| 22

the organization. However, dissatisfaction with pay tended to override employee’s mission
attachment as explanation of why they may leave the organization. The implication is that
mission might be salient in attracting employees but less effective in retaining them.

Claire Crutchley(13): When companies pay bonuses to employees of bankrupt companies to


stay with the firm, popular press often describes this as greedy managers expropriating the last
bit of wealth from shareholders. In addition, research has found that, on average, retaining pre-
bankruptcy management has negative consequences. Nevertheless, the incidence of these
retention plans has been growing. In this paper, we study key employee retention plans (KERPs)
and the corporate environment which allows the payment of a KERP. We find no evidence that
the companies that declare KERPs have poor corporate governance or overpay top executives.
Instead, we find these companies are very similar to non-KERP bankrupt companies, both before
and in resolution of bankruptcy. The main difference between the two samples is that KERP
companies are larger and from industries that are more employee-driven, such as wholesale and
retail. We find that KERPS do not speed up the bankruptcy process, but instead companies with
KERPs spend more time in bankruptcy.

Muhammad Asif Khan(14): Establish link between perceived human resources internal service
quality practices with employee retentions in mediating environment of employee job
satisfaction. This study was conducted in twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. For the
analyses of research work, the data has been collected about the employees of public and
privatized banks’ employees. A total of 550 copies of the questionnaire were distributed to
different bankers of selected areas and 400 copies of the same were collected back. The study
finds that employee selection, employee training and development, work design, job definition
employee rewards and compensation report high, positive and significant dimensionality to
internal service quality in human resource management. The study further finds that internal
service quality in human resource has positive and significant effect on employee job satisfaction
and employee job satisfaction has positive and significant effect on employee retention. Based on
findings of the study that the human resource development departments should review and

their training and development, work design and job definition all are the most important human
resource management areas in enhancing the employees’ job satisfaction and the retention of
prospective employees.

Maya Michielsen(15): In this continuously changing contemporary economy, companies have


to be able to anticipate technological innovations and to compete with other companies
worldwide. This need makes important a company’s ability to evolve through its employees’
learning and through continuous development. Securing and retaining skilled employees plays an
important role in this process, because employees’ knowledge and skills are central to
companies’ ability to be economically competitive. Given that employee retention is very
important for the functioning and competitiveness of a company, this study focuses on the
organisational and personal factors that influence employee retention. A special interest is taken
in employees’ learning, because this is seen as a retention supporting activity. A questionnaire
was administered to 349 employees, and 11 employees were interviewed. The interviews are
used to illustrate and contextualise the quantitative results. The results show a large positive
contribution of appreciation and stimulation of the employee to employee retention. This result is
consistent with findings of earlier research. However, the retention benefits arising from personal
development offer new possibilities when attempting to enhance employee retention. This study
also showed that individual differences influence employee retention. Leadership skills and
seniority have a positive relationship with employee retention and the level of readiness and
initiative regarding learning is negatively related to retention.

Zhang Weiwei(16): Understand the reasons of foreign teachers who are working at a
demonstration school in terms of retention. A qualitative research approach was applied to
answering the research questions proposed for this study, employing a Phenomenological
strategy. The setting involved purposive sampling that was used to identify 7 participants who
had experienced this phenomenon. Interview data, document reviews were integrated to answer
the two research questions. The participants were interviewed by using an in-depth semi-
structured interview. All the perceptions were interpreted into nine categories, they were: (1)
Reason for teaching career, (2) Life experience, (3) Work environment, (4) Work experience, (5)
Reason for retention, (6) Reason for leaving, (7) controversial FTS’ position, (8) Problem issues,

PIMT RAJPURA

(9) Future plan. The important findings of this study regarding employee retention are their
reasons for retention and leaving. Concerning the retention issue, the reasons mainly conclude
enjoying teaching, good vacation, good salary, and pleasant work environment as well as some
personal reasons. At the same time, the potential leaving reasons refer to dissatisfaction with
management, communication problems in terms of cultural understanding, and personal reasons
for going back to their countries.

John E. Sheridan(17): Retention rales of 904 college graduates hired in six publics accounting
firms over a six-year period. Organizational culture values varied significantly among the firms.
The variation in cultural values had a significant effect on the rates at which the newly hired
employees voluntarily terminated employment. The relationship between the employees' job
performance and their retention also varied significantly with organizational culture values. The
cultural effects were stronger than the combined exogenous influences of the labor market and
the new employees' demographic characteristics. The cultural effects are estimated to have
resulted in over six million dollars' difference in human resource costs between firms with
different cultural values. Implications for research on person-organization fit are discussed.

Shelly Mohanty(18): Employee retention is arguably the biggest issue facing corporate leaders
as a result of the shortage of skilled labour, economic growth and employee turnover. Hiring
knowledgeable people for the job is essential for an employer, but retention is even more
important than hiring. Employee retention involves taking measures to encourage them to remain
in the organization for the maximum period of time. The key to retention is to understand the
employees’ expectations and achieve proper alignment of their expectations with those of the
organization.

Michael J. Howard(19): A content model of 12 retention factors is developed in the context of


previous theory and research. Coding of open-ended responses from 24,829 employees in the
leisure and hospitality industry lends support to the identified framework and reveals that job
satisfaction, extrinsic rewards, constituent attachments, organizational commitment, and
organizational prestige were the most frequently mentioned reasons for staying. Advancement
opportunities and organizational prestige were more common reasons for staying among high

PIMT RAJPURA
EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN PRIVATE SECTOR| 25

performers and non-hourly workers, and extrinsic rewards was more common among low
performers and hourly employees, providing support for ease/desirability of movement and
psychological contract rationales. The findings highlight the importance of differentiating human
resource management practices when the goal is to retain those employees valued most by the
organization.

William R. Meek(20): Uses a sample of 47 high-growth small firms to examine the


understudied topic of employee retention. We found that firms reporting very low annual
voluntary turnover (0-2%) rates engaged in creating a positive work environment, provided
employees more freedom and flexibility, offered ample employee involvement and opportunities
for growth; were clear about the processes associated with compensation and benefits, and
frequently communicated with and provided assistance to their employees. Firms reporting
turnover higher than 10% for the past year described their retention practices in much diminished
frequency and richness along these same dimensions. Given that these firms were all part of a
pool of 77 high growth small companies (over $1 million annual revenue, less than 12 years old
and compound annual growth greater than 15%), retention of intellectual capital would be a
prime issue. Industry differences among the companies are explored and theoretical and practical
implications are discussed.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGYAN

Introduction:

Research is the process of systematic and in-depth study or search for any particular
topic, subject or area of investigation, backed by collection, compilation, presentation and
interpretation of relevant details or data. Research methodology is a way to systematically solve
the research problem. It may be understood as a science of studying how research is done
scientifically.

Research may develop hypothesis and test it. In it we study the various steps that are
generally adopted by the researcher in studying his research problem along with the logic behind
them.

Research must be based on fact observable data forms a sound basis for research
inductive investigation lead better support to research finding for analysing facts a scientific
methodology of analysis must be developed and result interpreted logically.

It is necessary for the researcher to know not only the research method or techniques
but also the methodology. Thus, when we talk of research methodology we not only talk of the
research methods but also consider the logic behind the methods we use in the context of our
research study and explain why we are using a particular method or technique and why we are
not using others so that research results are capable of being evaluated either by the researcher
himself or by others.

Research problems would result in certain conclusions by means of logical analysis


which the decision-maker may use for his action or solution.

PIMT RAJPURA
EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN PRIVATE SECTOR| 30

Research design:

A research design is purely and simply the frame work plan for a study that guides the
collection and analysis of a data. In this study the researcher has adopted descriptive research
design.

Descriptive research design:

It includes surveys and fact finding enquires of different kinds. It simply describes something
such as a demographic of employees. It deals with description of the state of offers as it is and
the researchers have no influence on the respondents.

Data collection:

Data collection is one of the most important aspects of research. For the success of any
project accurate data is very important and necessary. The information collected through
research methodology must be accurate and relevant.

Methods of data collection:

 Primary Data
 Secondary Data

Primary Data:

Data collected by a researcher is known as primary data. It is collected by a


person for his own use obtained from findings. This is considered as firsthand
information. This is that data which is collected by us to meet our own specific purpose.
The data is collected by the means of questionnaire filled in by the employees at different
posts of Nagpur area office. This method of data collection is very popular particularly in
big organizations.

PIMT RAJPURA
EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN PRIVATE SECTOR| 31

Secondary Data:

Secondary data means data that are already available i.e., they refer to data which
has already been collected and analyzed by someone else. This type of data information
can also be used by the researcher for his use as second hand information sources through
which secondary data can be collected. Secondary data may either be published data or
unpublished data.

The research approach:

Survey Method

The research instrument:

Questionnaire

The respondents:

The employees of the organization.

Sampling:

It is the process of selecting representative subset of a total population for obtaining data
for the study of the whole population the subset is known as sample. The sample size is selected
for the study 100 employees. The techniques of sampling unit in this study are convenience
sampling.

Convenience sampling:

In this method the sample units are chosen primarily on the basis of the convenience to
the researcher.

Statistical tools used:

A. Simple percentage analysis


B. Chi-square
C. Likert Scale Analysis

PIMT RAJPURA
EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN PRIVATE SECTOR| 32

A. Simple percentage analysis:

Simple percentage can also be used to compare the relationship distribution of two or more
items. For calculations the simple percentage the following formula used.

Percentage of the respondents= Number of respondents/Total respondents*100

B. Chi-square analysis:

Chi-square is anon parametric test. The chi-square method is the application of testing the
significance different between observed and expected values.

For calculating the value of chi-square test, the following formula used:

=∑ [(0-E) ²/E]

E=Row total*column to/Grant total

Degree of freedom=(R-1) (C-1)

Where as

O-observed frequency

E-Expected frequency

P-Number of rows

C-Number of columns

C.Likert Scale Analysis

A Likert scale is a psychometric scale commonly involved in research that employs


questionnaires. It is the most widely used approach to scaling responses in survey research, such
that the term is often used interchangeably with rating scale, or more accurately the Likert-type
scale, even though the two are not synonymous. The scale is named after its inventor,
psychologistRensis Likert.

PIMT RAJPURA
EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN PRIVATE SECTOR| 33

Likert distinguished between a scale proper, which emerges from collective responses to
a set of items (usually eight or more), and the format in which responses are scored along a
range. Technically speaking, a Likert scale refers only to the former. The difference between
these two concepts has to do with the distinction Likert made between the underlying
phenomenon being investigated and the means of capturing variation that points to the
underlying phenomenon. When responding to a Likert questionnaire item, respondents specify
their level of agreement or disagreement on a symmetric agree-disagree scale for a series of
statements. Thus, the range captures the intensity of their feelings for a given item, while the
results of analysis of multiple items (if the items are developed appropriately) reveals a pattern
that has scaled properties of the kind Likert identified.

The format of a typical five-level Likert item is:

1. Strongly disagree
2. Disagree
3. Neither agree nor disagree
4. Agree
5. Strongly agree

Likert scaling is a bipolar scaling method, measuring either positive or negative response to a
statement. Sometimes a four-point scale is used; this is a "forced choice" method since the
middle option of "Neither agree nor disagree" is not available.

Questionnaire:

The questionnaire is prepared in such a way that is correct the comprehensive objectives
of the study. Open end, multiple choice of questionnaire adopted in this research.

Period of study:

The time period of the study is 45 days.

mission statement and corporate vision statement aim for leadership in the global
information technology industry and markets for related products. (Photo: Public
Domain)
International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) has a mission statement and
vision statement strongly associated with the organization and its brand. A
company’s corporate vision statement sets the desired future state of the
business, to guide strategic management and direction. IBM’s vision statement
marks the importance of the leadership of the business in the information
technology industry. In relation, a company’s corporate mission statement
determines the types of actions that define the business, and guides the
development of strategies and tactics. IBM’s mission statement emphasizes
operations in the information technology market, inclusive of computing
technologies and related services. The Porter’s Five Forces analysis of IBM shows
that competition is strong, involving firms like Google (Alphabet
Inc.), Amazon.com, Intel, and Microsoft. Also known as Big Blue, IBM uses its
corporate vision and mission statements in developing competitive advantages
against such firms in the industry. In relation, the company applies its corporate
mission and vision statements to influence employees, called IBMers, to ensure
leadership in contributing to the business and to embody excellence in their work.
An understanding of IBM’s corporate mission and vision statements contributes
to the foundation of employees’ decisions and actions. For example, based on the

PIMT RAJPURA
EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN PRIVATE SECTOR| 36

components and details of the corporate vision and mission statements,


employees develop solutions to challenges in the business, and address problems
encountered on the job. Thus, the suitability, influence, and effectiveness of these
corporate statements are factors that contribute to IBM’s success in the global
information technology industry.

IBM’s Corporate Mission Statement


IBM’s corporate mission is “to lead in the creation, development and manufacture
of the industry’s most advanced information technologies, including computer
systems, software, networking systems, storage devices and microelectronics.
And our worldwide network of IBM solutions and services professionals translates
these advanced technologies into business value for our customers. We translate
these advanced technologies into value for our customers through our
professional solutions, services and consulting businesses worldwide.” This
mission statement shows what IBM’s business does. The details cover the
company’s aims and its activities on how to fulfill these aims. The following points
are the main components of IBM’s mission statement:

1. Leadership in creating, developing and manufacturing the most advanced


information technologies
2. Worldwide network that translates advanced technologies into business value for
customers
3. Professional solutions, services and consulting businesses worldwide

IBM’s corporate mission statement highlights leadership in the information


technology industry. The details of the technologies linked to such leadership are
included in the first component of the statement. In the second component,
IBM’s mission statement specifies the people involved in creating value for
customers. For example, the company creates value for customers through its
worldwide network of solutions and professionals. On the other hand, the third
component of IBM’s corporate mission presents the business activities involved in
creating such value for target customers. The company’s professional solutions,
services and consulting businesses contain the mechanism for this value creation.
This information makes IBM’s corporate mission statement specific in providing
the bases for business processes. Moreover, the information is strongly linked to

PIMT RAJPURA
EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN PRIVATE SECTOR| 37

the company’s corporate vision statement, which also emphasizes leadership in


the information technology industry.
IBM’s Corporate Vision Statement
IBM’s corporate vision is “to be the world’s most successful and important
information technology company. Successful in helping out customers apply
technology to solve their problems. Successful in introducing this extraordinary
technology to new customers. Important, because we will continue to be the
basic resource of much of what is invested in this industry.” This vision statement
depicts IBM’s developmental path as the business maintains its position as one of
the top players in the global market. The company also emphasizes the success
and importance of its business. The following are the main components of IBM’s
vision statement:

1. World’s most successful and important information technology company


2. Helping customers apply technology to solve their problems
3. Introducing extraordinary technology to new customers
4. Continue to be the basic resource of much of what is invested in this industry

In the first component of the corporate vision statement, IBM’s focus is on the
highest position in the information technology industry, in terms of success and
importance of the business. The company aims to maintain its business within the
information technology industry. The second component of IBM’s vision
statement helps define the kind of success indicated in the first component. For
example, the company states that such success is based on the ability of the
business to help customers use technology to solve problems. In addition, the
third component contributes to the definition of this success that IBM wants to
achieve. For instance, such success is also based on the company’s ability to
provide extraordinary technology to customers. Furthermore, the fourth
component of the corporate vision defines what business importance means in
the context of IBM. The company aims to be important by remaining as the basic
resource in the industry. Thus, IBM’s corporate vision statement gives details
about the nature of the business and what it can offer to the industry and the
target market. This information is similar to the components of the company’s
corporate mission statement.

IBM’s Corporate Vision & Corporate Mission – Recommendations

PIMT RAJPURA
EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN PRIVATE SECTOR| 38

IBM’s mission statement is detailed, providing specifics of what the business does.
For example, the company states that it is involved in the creation, development,
and manufacture of information technologies. Also, the corporate mission
includes information regarding IBM’s characteristics, such as the types of people
involved in the business, as well as the organizational outputs offered to target
customers in the global market. Based on such information, the company’s
corporate mission statement is satisfactory in serving as a guide for strategic
decision-making processes. However, it is recommended that IBM adjust the
statement to account for changes in the organization, including the sale of some
of the company’s businesses and the refocusing onto core competencies.

As one of the biggest technology firms in the global market, International


Business Machines Corporation has a vision statement that states leadership in
the information technology industry and market. The company’s corporate vision
contains sufficient details about what such leadership means in terms of success
and importance. For example, the corporate statement defines success and
importance in terms of being a basic resource in the industry. In this regard, IBM’s
corporate vision statement is satisfactory and ideal. However, a recommendation
is to enhance it by including recent, current and potential changes in the business.
This recommendation is based on IBM’s recent strategic repositioning and reform
efforts, which included the divestiture of some of its businesses.

History
Main article: History of IBM
In the 1880s technologies emerged that would ultimately form the core of
International Business Machines (IBM). Julius E. Pitrap patented the computing
scale in 1885; Alexander Dey invented the dial recorder (1888); Herman
Hollerith (1860–1929) patented the Electric Tabulating Machine; and Willard
Bundy invented a time clock to record a worker's arrival and departure time on a
paper tape in 1889. On June 16, 1911, their four companies were amalgamated in
New York State by Charles Ranlett Flint forming a fifth company, the Computing-
Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR) based in Endicott, New York. The five
companies had 1,300 employees and offices and plants in Endicott
and Binghamton, New York; Dayton, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; Washington, D.C.;
and Toronto.

PIMT RAJPURA
EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN PRIVATE SECTOR| 39

They manufactured machinery for sale and lease, ranging from commercial scales
and industrial time recorders, meat, and cheese slicers, to tabulators and
punched cards. Thomas J. Watson, Sr., fired from the National Cash Register
Company by John Henry Patterson, called on Flint and, in 1914, was offered a
position at CTR. Watson joined CTR as General Manager then, 11 months later,
was made President when court cases relating to his time at NCR were
resolved. Having learned Patterson's pioneering business practices, Watson
proceeded to put the stamp of NCR onto CTR's companies. He implemented sales
conventions, "generous sales incentives, a focus on customer service, an
insistence on well-groomed, dark-suited salesmen and had an evangelical fervor
for instilling company pride and loyalty in every worker". His favorite slogan,
"THINK", became a mantra for each company's employees. During Watson's first
four years, revenues reached $9 million ($133 million today) and the company's
operations expanded to Europe, South America, Asia and Australia. Watson never
liked the clumsy hyphenated name "Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company"
and on February 14, 1924, chose to replace it with the more expansive title
"International Business Machines". By 1933 most of the subsidiaries had been
merged into one company, IBM.

In 1937 IBM's tabulating equipment enabled organizations to process huge
amounts of data. Its clients included the U.S. Government, during its first effort to
maintain the employment records for 26 million people pursuant to the Social
Security Act, and Hitler's Third Reich, for the tracking of Jews and other
persecuted groups, largely through the German subsidiary Dehomag. The social
security-related business gave an 81% increase in revenue from 1935 to 1939.

In 1949 Thomas Watson, Sr., created IBM World Trade Corporation, a subsidiary
of IBM focused on foreign operations. In 1952 he stepped down after almost 40
years at the company helm, and his son Thomas Watson, Jr. was named
president. In 1956 the company demonstrated the first practical example
of artificial intelligence when Arthur L. Samuel of IBM's Poughkeepsie, New York,
laboratory programmed an IBM 704 not merely to play checkers but "learn" from
its own experience. In 1957 the FORTRAN scientific programming language was
developed. In 1961 IBM developed the SABRE reservation system for American
Airlines and introduced the highly successful Selectric typewriter.
In 1963 IBM employees and computers helped NASA track the orbital flights of
the Mercury astronauts. A year later, it moved its corporate headquarters from
New York City to Armonk, New York. The latter half of the 1960s saw IBM
continue its support of space exploration, participating in the 1965 Gemini flights,
1966 Saturn flights, and 1969 lunar mission.
In 1969, IBM engineer Forrest Parry invented the magnetic stripe card that would
become ubiquitous for credit/debit/ATM cards, driver's licenses, rapid transit
cards, and a multitude of other identity and access control applications. IBM
pioneered the manufacture of these cards, and for most of the 1970s the data
processing systems and software for such applications ran exclusively on IBM
computers.

On April 7, 1964, IBM announced the first computer system family, the IBM
System/360. It spanned the complete range of commercial and scientific
applications from large to small, allowing companies to upgrade to models with
greater computing capability without having to rewrite their applications. It was
followed by the IBM System/370 in 1970. Together the 360 and 370 made
the IBM mainframe the dominant mainframe computer and the dominant
computing platform in the industry throughout this period and into the early
1980s.

In 1974 IBM engineer George J. Laurer developed the Universal Product


Code. IBM and the World Bank first introduced financial swaps to the public in
1981 when they entered into a swap agreement. The IBM PC, originally
designated IBM 5150, was introduced in 1981, and it soon became an industry
standard. In 1991 IBM spun out its printer manufacturing into a new business
called Lexmark.
In 1993 IBM posted a US$8 billion loss – at the time the biggest in American
corporate history. Lou Gerstner was hired as CEO from RJR Nabisco to turn the
company around. In 2002 IBM acquired PwC consulting, and in 2003 it initiated a
project to redefine company values, hosting a three-day online discussion of
key business issues with 50,000 employees. The result was three values:
"Dedication to every client's success", "Innovation that matters—for our company
and for the world", and "Trust and personal responsibility in all relationships".

IBM inventions: (clockwise from top-left) the hard-disk drive, DRAM, the UPC bar
code, and the magnetic stripe card
In 2005 the company sold its personal computer business to Chinese technology
company Lenovo and, in 2009, it acquired software company SPSS Inc. Later in
2009, IBM's Blue Gene supercomputing program was awarded the National
Medal of Technology and Innovation by U.S. President Barack Obama. In 2011,
IBM gained worldwide attention for its artificial intelligence program Watson,
which was exhibited on Jeopardy! where it won against game-show
champions Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter. The company also celebrated its 100th
anniversary in the same year on June 16. In 2012 IBM announced it has agreed to
buy Kenexa, and a year later it also acquired Soft Layer Technologies, a web
hosting service, in a deal worth around $2 billion. Also that year, the company
designed a video surveillance system for Davao City.

In 2014 IBM announced it would sell its x86 server division to Lenovo for $2.1
billion. Also that year, IBM began announcing several major partnerships with

IBM is headquartered in Armonk, New York, a community 37 miles (60 km) north
of Midtown Manhattan. A nickname for the company is the "Colossus of
Armonk". Its principal building, referred to as CHQ, is a 283,000-square-foot
(26,300 m2) glass and stone edifice on a 25-acre (10 ha) parcel amid a 432-acre
former apple orchard the company purchased in the mid-1950s. There are two
other IBM buildings within walking distance of CHQ: the North Castle office, which
previously served as IBM's headquarters; and the Louis V. Gerstner, Jr., Center for
Learning (formerly known as IBM Learning Center (ILC)), a resort hotel and
training center, which has 182 guest rooms, 31 meeting rooms, and various
amenities.
IBM operates in 174 countries as of 2016, with mobility centers in smaller
markets areas and major campuses in the larger ones. In New York City, IBM has
several offices besides CHQ, including the IBM Watson headquarters at Astor
Place in Manhattan. Outside of New York, major campuses in the United States
include Austin, Texas; Research Triangle Park (Raleigh-Durham), North
Carolina; Rochester, Minnesota; and Silicon Valley, California.
IBM's real estate holdings are varied and globally diverse. Towers occupied by
IBM include 1250 René-Lévesque (Montreal, Canada) and One Atlantic
Center (Atlanta, Georgia, USA). In Beijing, China, IBM occupies Pangu Plaza, the
city's seventh tallest building and overlooking Beijing National Stadium ("Bird's
Nest"), home to the 2008 Summer Olympics.
IBM India Private Limited is the Indian subsidiary of IBM, which is headquartered
at Bengaluru, Karnataka. It has facilities in
Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai, Pune, Gurugram, Noida

PRODUCT PROFILES

IBM (International Business Machines) ranks among the world's largest information
technology companies, providing a wide spectrum of hardware, software and services
offerings.

IBM, frequently referred to as "Big Blue," got its start in hardware and prospered
in that business for decades, becoming the top supplier of mainframe computers.
Over the years, the company shifted its focus from hardware to software and
services. By the 2010s, IBM further modified its business mix to emphasize such
fields as cloud-based services and cognitive computing. IBM Watson, a cognitive

PIMT RAJPURA
EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN PRIVATE SECTOR| 46

system, has become the company's high-visibility offering in the latter technology
segment.

IBM, while still a major IT player, has lost the dominance it enjoyed during the
mainframe era. The company, as of October 2016, had seen 18 consecutive
quarters of revenue declines amid its transition into new technologies and lines of
business. IBM had a 2015 revenue of $81.7 billion compared with $106.9 billion in
2011.

IBM products and services

Server hardware

Five decades since the launch of the IBM System/360, the company continues to
sell mainframe-class computers. IBM positions its z Systems product line as
enterprise infrastructure for its customers' cognitive business. IBM targets a range
of solutions for its z Series products including analytics, blockchain, cloud
and DevOps.

Meanwhile, the company aims its Power Systems enterprise servers toward big
data and analytics applications. Power Systems run IBM's AIX and IBM i OSes as
well as Linux. In another nod to open source, IBM introduced its LinuxONE system
as a hardware platform.

Storage

On the hardware side, IBM offers products including its FlashSystem all-flash
arrays, Storwize systems and other hybrid arrays, Fibre Channel storage-area
network hardware, storage media, and tape products. The company is making a
push into software-defined storage with its Spectrum Storage suite and
Cleversafe object storage technology.

PIMT RAJPURA
EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN PRIVATE SECTOR| 47

Software

IBM's varied software line includes analytics offerings such as IBM Cognos
Analytics, IBM SPSS, IBM Maximo Asset Management and DB2. Many of IBM's
products in this field came through acquisition: The company purchased Maximo
in 2006, Cognos in 2008 and SPSS in 2009.

IBM also provides IT infrastructure software including its WebSphere Application


Server and MQ messaging middleware.

The company's software lineup in the mobile and social space includes the IBM
Verse business email offering and the IBM Notes collaboration product. In
addition, IBM's security software includes MaaS360 for mobile device security
and IBM QRadar Security Intelligence Platform, a security information and event
management product.

IBM customers may acquire software licenses through Passport Advantage, the
company's licensing program for larger enterprises, or Passport Advantage
Express, a program designed for medium-sized businesses. Fix Central,
meanwhile, is an element of IBM support that provides fixes and updates for IBM
customers' software and operating systems. Fix Central provides hardware
support, as well.

Services

IBM's service units include Global Business Services, which houses Big Blue's
management consulting operations, and Global Technology Services, which
provides mobility, networking, business continuity and outsourcing, among other
services. Like other large IT services providers, in recent years, IBM has moved to
purchase companies offering cloud consulting and implementation services. In
2016, for example, IBM purchased Bluewolf, a Salesforce channel partner and
cloud consultant. Bluewolf was folded into IBM's Interactive Experience practice,

PIMT RAJPURA
EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN PRIVATE SECTOR| 48

which is part of Global Business Services. In 2015, IBM acquired Meteorix LLC, a
Workday services partner.

Cloud

IBM's SmartCloud software and services offering got off the ground in 2011. That
move was followed in 2013 by IBM's acquisition of SoftLayer Technologies Inc.,
an infrastructure as a service provider. Following that deal, SmartCloud and
SoftLayer were grouped together in a cloud services division. Since then,
however, IBM has coalesced its cloud services offerings around its
Bluemix platform as a service offering. As of fall 2016, Bluemix had incorporated
SoftLayer cloud products and services into a broader portfolio of infrastructure,
platform and application services. IBM's more integrated cloud offering competes
against such rivals as Amazon Web Services, Google and Microsoft.

Cognitive offerings

The IBM Watson supercomputer, which pulls together artificial intelligence and
analytical software, is the company's flagship cognitive computing offering. A
number of technologies and discrete products have spun out of IBM's cognitive
computing system and its related research. Customers, for example, can use
Watson APIs to embed cognitive computing components into their applications.
IBM also offers products with built-in cognitive capabilities. Those offerings
include the IBM Watson Internet of Things Platform and IBM Watson Analytics for
Social Media. IBM has looked to leverage its cloud technology as it rolls out
Watson-related products. Watson APIs, for example, are available via Bluemix.

Awards and achievements

Read this article about IBM, Finalist in the Best Achievement in Technology
Enabled Process Automation (Robotic Process Automation, Machine Learning,
Cognitive Learning, Blockchain etc), selected by the independent judging panel,
for the 2020 Business Transformation & Operational Excellence Industry Awards
program.

The AP Program Management System is an innovative closed loop feedback


system that drives operational efficiency through automated reporting and
Robotic Process Automation (RPA). The system is used by over 250 Accounts
throughout Asia Pacific and services over 300 users daily. The main benefits
include:

 Data entry savings up to 15 times faster using RPA.


 Data Alerts and Trending Reports highlight emerging issues before they
become large problems. This reduces issue resolution time by at least 2 to 3
times.
 Minimal rework to fix data errors reduces time to manage data by 2 to 3
times.
 Being "in control" improves team engagement and productivity by
approximately 1.5 times.
 Client NPS (Net Promoter Score) and confidence is improved leading to
more business.
 Contract service level financial penalties are mitigated through accurate
and timely reporting, avoiding potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars
in penalties

PIMT RAJPURA
EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN PRIVATE SECTOR| 50

Initially developed in 2011 as a Cognos Management system with basic report


functionality, the system evolved to include a world class cycle time algorithm
in 2015 and continued its evolution in 2019 with Robotic Process Automation
modules for automated data entry, resulting in a closed loop feedback system.
There are 4 main elements in the system which include the following:

 A web-based data entry tool called the Program Management Portal (Pg
MP)

 Business intelligence data integrity algorithms developed in Excel

 RPA automated data entry tool

 A Cognos reporting system supplemented with Excel reporting tools


PgMP is a tool used globally by IBM Account teams which provides a repository
for Contract Management Program elements such as Issues, Contract
Deliverables, Risks, Contract Changes and Request for Service information.
Historically, data entry into PgMP has been a laborious task and is error prone
resulting in incomplete or inaccurate reporting and poor management. Data

PIMT RAJPURA
EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN PRIVATE SECTOR| 51

entry and quality has been significantly improved with the Blueprism RPA tool
and data integrity algorithms with up to 15 times faster data entry than manual
entry. Data entry from other tools can also be processed using RPA without
complex APIs being developed.
The Cognos reporting system provides custom reports for Clients and Account
teams to effectively manage their outsourcing contract. Reports can be run ad-
hoc or as scheduled reports and delivered to a user’s email. Cycle time
workflow data is provided so that process bottlenecks can be quickly identified
and remediated. A variety of reports are available including audit compliance,
due date alerting, and workload reports.
The Cognos system is supplemented by Excel tools where macros process data
and automatically create stunning output for client and internal consumption.
Excel tools provide a flexible way to do analysis using pivot tables graphs and
slicers and allow Account Teams to tailor their reports for specific needs.
Account teams who use the management system have typically higher client
Net Promoter Scores, higher audit control posture compliance and ensure all
contract requirements are effectively managed.

Analysis is classifying and rearranging the raw data to arrive at meaningful interpretation.

Interpretation:

Interpretation is essential because it brings the outcome of the analysis into forefront.

 It is through interpretation that the researcher can understand the abstract principles that
work beneath his founds. Through this he can linkup the same abstract with those of other
studies having the same abstract principle.
 Interpretation leads the establishment of explanatory concepts that can serve as a guide
for tutor research studies.
 Research can appreciate only through interpretation which can make other to understand
of researcher finding a per project study. The data collect are analyzed sing simple

Strategy has becomeessential if your organization is to be productive over time and can become
an important part of your hiringstrategy by attracting the best candidates. In fact, some
companies do not have to recruit because they receive somany qualified unsolicited submissions
due to their history of excellence in employee retention. How do you getyour employees to "fall
in Love" with your organization? This is a great question. Some of the suggestions forthis can be
summarized as follows:

 The company should provide better motivations to the employees. So that improves the
satisfaction of the employees.
 The company should maintain a good relationship with the employees that help to
improve their production.
 The company want to change their work schedule and policies of their organisation
 The company should also develop their infrastructure facility of their organisation.
 The company want to reduce their employee retention problem and provide promotion
offers to their employees

6.3Conclusion:

The research has a humble attempt in identifying the causes of employee retention and
come up with a few suggestions. The campany exists a high level of employee retention.

So, the management has simply to concretize people and live them alone with an
environment in which they find it possible it behave appropriately, identify the problem,
appreciate the need to resolve it, identify the factors and contributing to the problem and behave
in ways that would either eliminate the casual variables or reduce their influence on the
problems. Though slow, the process of concretization is sure to produce the desired results
conducted in proper ways.

Employees comprise the most vital assets of the company. In a work place where
employees are not able to usetheir full potential and not heard and valued, they are likely to leave
because of stress and frustration. They needtransparent work environment to work in. In a
transparent environment where employees get a sense ofachievement and belongingness, where
they can best utilize their potential and realize their skills. They love tobe the essential part of
such organization and the company is benefited with a stronger, reliable work-forceharboring
bright new ideas for its growth.
