CHAPTER-I

INTRODUCTION

Employee with the labor market at its tightest in recent memory, the talk of the
town seems to be attracting top talent to a company. But what a company does to
retain that talent, and the talent it already employs, is arguably more important than
attraction. In recent times, employee’s retention has become one of the leading
challenges for organizations. Given today's weak company loyalty, employees are
increasingly "jumping ship" for better job opportunities elsewhere. The issue isn't
simply losing a key member of your team; there is also the hassle-and cost-of
replacement. It is obvious that employee’s retention is one of the most pressing
issues that Human Resource Professionals face today. Organizations have come to
realize the critical strategic implications of losing their best people. Employee’s
turnover is assuming crisis proportions for many employers who struggle to retain
people in the tightest labor markets in recent memory.

1.1 RETENTION

"Employee retention is the conscious and deliberate effort to retain quality


individuals on the company payroll. Stated otherwise, it is the proactive methods
utilized by successful organizations to stop the drain of company profits caused by
excessive employee turnover". HERMAN*

"Employee retention is not some externally generated set of activities or metrics


that have a life of their own and that are applicable to every circumstance.
Effective employee’s retention is something that is very specific to each individual
organization.

KEY RETENTION STRATEGY

● Compensation, mainly incentives 20%


● Work environment 28%
● ESOP 20%
● Quality of job 15%

EFFECTIVE RETENTION STRATEGIES

On effective employee retention strategies Aldrich’s Nancy’s explains various


strategies as follows,

Retention needs to be looked at differently. The first step towards management of


employee retention begins with acceptance of the reality that today it is not the
company, which determines the movements of its employees but the market. The
reason for such a conclusion is simple. It is not too impossible for a single
company to counter the pull of the market. Instead of attempting to minimize
migration, the management practices must aim at influencing those who leave and
at what time.

Acceptance of the reality thus enables the management to develop a focused


retention program duly accompanied by an effective contingency plan for filling
the prospective gaps in skills. An honest assessment of an organization’s need for a
set of employees to remain with the company makes it clear as to which group
should be handled with what concern for retaining them. Once this analysis is over
and the management identifies who is to be retained for how long, it can customize
retention practices to encourage employees to stay loyal to the organization. Some
such practices could be:

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

2.1 Theoretical background of the study

In order to accomplishment of the organizational goals, it is shown that the attraction and
retention of employees is an outstanding task to be done. This study has been conducted to
look over the alternate paths which contributes to Employees Attraction and Retention.

The employee/employer relationships is affected because of highly changes in global


economics, Technology change etc. If once we lost the talented employee then it is very
harmful or damaging to the organizations future, because of the dissatisfaction, the
outstanding employees may tend to leave the organization. When the trials of retention of
employees is done within the organization then they need to face other challenges like
demand in higher wages etc.

2.2 Literature Review:

Hassan (2011), states that in each and every organization the employees attraction and
retention is very important task to be done. Therefore only one industry is focused in this
paper i.e., leather industry which is in Pakistan. This industry is Pakistan’s 3rd most biggest
export income earned section. Annually the turnover rate of the Pakistan in the leather
industry is 25-30%. It is keenly seen the 2nd level employees are mostly changes job roles for
better salary offers, and to seek more knowledge. To achieve the competitive advantage, the
maximum companies proficiency workers have to retained.

Morse (2009), concludes that since the beginning of the time, the Humour has been in the
existence. Few people declare that humour is the one of the best medicine for stress
management. It is said that the humour is fine enough for living fruitfully, then it can be good
for attraction and retention of employees? The purpose of article is to travel through extent
which the humour relates to the employee attraction and retention. There is also another
objective in this paper which is to import the importance of humour and attraction and
retention of employees I workplace. Therefore for the future researchers, the paper also

13
14

provided them the verifiable test and it also provided the practical recommendations for
present managers with respective to its employee attraction and retention.

Umer (2011), reports that the affect of the variables i.e., betterment, the help of the
supervisor, nature of the work, and work life balance on the employees attraction and
retention is Investigated. In the country named Pakistan, fifty interviews are conducted for
BPO companies supervisors. The result of the visual survey said, these variables have
positive and significant impact on attraction and retention strategies of employees. Especially
in the country named Pakistan, the researches have done very less research with respective to
employees attraction and retention in the business process output sourcing. To the BPO’s in
Pakistan, these findings may provide some insights about the employee attraction and
retention.

Gurtoviy (2008), concludes that in the mutual agreement, it is clearly said that the delay
compensation which is a share of an uncertain future profit is manically constrained
employer to her employee. It is said that the delay recompense serves as a retention tool
which helps to keep away the insolvency. Therefore both cash as well as delay payments and
he also outlines that the firm can use these to retain personnel depends on the cost of new
credit. If the immediate bankruptcy is avoided, then the employees will become better in their
position in labour market.

Nelson (2009), states that design dimensions show the major contribution of enlightment and
the capability to perceive one hundred and fifty companies to maintain their educated
employees. The satisfaction of well educated workers is major provocation for present
companies because they compete internationally and increase their demands for these
employees, while the demographic changes of the workforce are changing rapidly in
particular, absorption, and preservation of knowledge, thus reaching an unprecedented level
of investment. While many factors affect the financial performance of the organization, this
research shows that retaining the ability of knowledge workers are appreciably coupled to
describe monetary/business presentation. The consequences of these results are cited.

Khan (2011), reports that the employee retention is an important factor for long run health of
company and success of any organization. The customer satisfaction ensures when the
organization retains its best employees and automatically the sales of the product goes high
and colleagues, reporting staff are also satisfied. In every organization now-a-days the
problems are raised in retaining employees, because of the downfall of the employees in any
organization, the attraction and retention concept has become popular. The only solution to

14
15

increase the employee attraction is that to increase the employee contribution towards
achieving company goals.

Anis (2011), states that as everyone knows human resources are very important to each and
every organization and as part of it, the attraction and retention of the employees is essential
aspect in present word. Here the hardest thing to achieve and maintain is the human capital
talent whereas the other resources are effortlessly adjusted. Therefore, organizations are now
more concerned with attracting and retaining employees.

Organizations use HR resource techniques to maintain. With respective to maintenance


purposes, the special importance is on compensation packages after staff trainings and
development methods. We will also see how a quiet working environment helps keep
employees in check. The study is conducted in Lahore and the data collected for this purpose
only. 330 are the number of respondents in the study. For analysis, structural equation
modelling AMOS 18.0 was used. In this study, with respective to intermediate variable, a
treasure is used between the maintenance of employees and training. The results show that
maintaining long run staff after completing their training and completing them without
increasing their compensation is not desirable because the payment gets better to reflect the
capacity to complete the skills and abilities relevant to their field.

Ijaz-Ur (2011), reports that comprehensive survey for employee’s work history and loyalty in
New Zealand. It seems that the widespread view that the New Zealand Worker has used on
the current labour market is superficial. Instead, this picture is one of the rising employment
stability, because older employees get the same amount of money, supporting the idea that
there are certain evolutionary stages on the jobs of women and men. According to the reasons
for staff turnover, the study shows that the incentive to change the job is multi-dimensional:
no one explains it. The role of attracting and retaining staff and workflow supports and
maintaining high standard bond with colleagues and managers. The results show that shifting
employees is not dangerous for some people: some have a lot of benefits (like looking for
valuable upgrades), while others are heavily used. This study offers suggestions for
improving the welfare of companies that have inefficient employee income.

Chiboiwa (2010), concludes that around the world, a number of factors are associated with an
increase in staffing levels. How to deal with people, knowing them, and achieving salary
advancements are important factors. Today, challenge for all companies is to create an
attractive strategy and maintain effective staffing that helps maintain employees who are
concerned about achieving targets. The dominant economic environment in Zimbabwe,
Formula One, always changes the practical retention strategies especially for supervisors in
the stage of the economic habitat, which is characterized by high inflation with the labour
market and the resulting migration of skills. This research is with the goal of achieve the
follow goals: identifying the cause of worker mobility in the organization, reviewing existing
organizational practice in the organization, establishing the usefulness of practice and efforts
to maintain acceptable performance. Can reduce the high staffing levels in the organization.
The qualitative research design was used by structured interviews and also a questionnaire
for all staff groups was used. The total population of the organization across the country was
3820 with a test of 2240 employees. The end of the study displays the workflow among non-
executive staff is higher. Similarly, the maximum of workers will leave the company and
ultimately, the better turnover of employees in the company is highly attributed to the
management of the weak reward system.

Whitt (2004), concludes that a mathematical model has been developed to enhance Benet’s
customer-centric call center performance by increasing work satisfaction. Call center
function “may be limited to a normal production criterion, like the no. Of replies responded
per hour or may include a wider measurement of service quality. It is assumed that a new
representative is immediately recruited to replace the alternative Each representative leaves,
and the same random variables distributed with the probable distribution of the overall factor
that depends on policy and management actions, distribution Has been. The distribution of a
stable state employee experience comes from the probable distribution of the agent using the
revision theory. A true value performance increases Avg performance as a factor of the
operating experience. Comfortable expressions The closed form for general function is
obtained as a function of the time model elements, or the distribution of the representative
retention or the presentation of the activity has a display structure. Management measures
can change the probability distribution of the agent

Khan (2011), states that identify factors that reduce employee flows and examine the impact
of retaining strategies in the workforce. Hotel Serena, Faisalabad, Pakistan was taken as
example for this study due to its unique characterization in modern human resource
techniques. This study was based on a case study; 30 surveys and six interviews were
conducted directly with key staffers. A total of 36 out of 285 people were selected. Variables
such as human resources strategies, work environment, education and development, and more
effective compensation for recruiting and retaining staff in Serna Faisalabad were found. The
study found that management should work on cash rewards and career progression to
maintain greater control. In general, ongoing HR practice in Serena may be measured by
others to reduce sales volume.

Brown (2003), reports that non-profit organizations believe in the mission to absorb decision-
making, instructions. Frequently, mission departments are known as a powerful management
tool that can encourage workers and focus on their company. The study investigates the
behaviour of the mission in the Youth and Entertainment Service Services. Generally,
employees showed a positive view on the companies mission and this approach was
connected to employees’ satisfaction and intent to stay with the company. However,
disadvantages of money need to accept staff mission as they leave this organization. This
assumption is that the mission may be important in absorbing staff but not as much of helpful
in keeping them.

Crutchley (2008), reports that when company reward employees of insolvent company to
keep on in touch, popular press often speaks of it as greedy executives that wealth generates
the latest stock from injustice shareowners. In addition, study has shown that, on average,
maintenance board has pessimistic result before bankruptcy. However, the occurrence of
these sustained plans is on the rise. In this paper, we will review Key Attraction and
Maintenance Programs (KERPs) and economic context that allow for the settlement of a
KERP. We have not found any evidence that companies that have stated that KERPs are
being avoided by poor administration or senior chief. The actual difference between the 2
examples is that KERP companies are bigger and have more efficient industries, such as
extensive and put on the market. We come across that KERPS does not expedite bankruptcy,
but companies with KERP pay out more point on insolvency.

Asif Khan(2011), states that the quality of internal services perceived by human resources by
attracting and recruiting staff in the mediation culture create employee satisfaction. This
study was conducted in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. To analyze the research work, data was
collected on the staff of private and public bank staff. 400 copies were collected out of 550
copies of questionnaire which distributed to various bankers. This research shows that staff
selection, staff training and development, job design, remuneration of jobseekers, and
compensation reports are very high, positive and significant for the quality of internal
services in HRM. The study also says that the quality of internal services in has a
constructive and outstanding effect on employee happiness and job happiness has a positive
and important effect on employees’ attraction and satisfaction. According to the findings of
this research, human resources development departments should look for motivation,
education and retaining high-quality employees, and this employee should hold up the
conception of ISQ. Choosing employees and rewards and recognizing them, teaching and
developing them, designing work and defining a job are the most important parts of HRM in
improving employee job satisfaction and retaining future employees.

Michaelson (2009), reports that in this altering modern economy, company must be clever to
predict scientific innovation and participate with other companies in the world. This is a need
for the ability to participate in the development of employee learning and through continuous
development. Considering the importance of attracting and retaining employees for the
performance, this study deals on organizational and personal factors that affect the attraction
and satisfaction of employees. A special interest in employee learning has been created, as
this has been preserved as a supportive task. A opinion poll was interviewed for three
hundred and forty nine employees. Interview are used to show and compute quantitative
results. The results show a very optimistic payment from the admiration and prompt of the
worker to attract and retain employees. This is consistent with previous research findings.
Skill and leadership talent have a positive relationship with the recruitment and maintenance
of employees and the level of preparedness and initiative is about learning negative with
respect to preservation.

Weiwei (2010), states that the reasons should be understood for foreign teachers who do job
at the school for demonstration. The qualitative research methodology is used to answer the
research questions proposed for this study. This included targeted random sample which is

18
19

used for identifying the 7 participants who has gone through this phenomenon. Interview
data, document review to integrate into 2 research questions. Participants interviewed using a
deep semi-structured interview. All perceptions are classified to 9 aspects: (1) professional
education, (2) incident, (3) workplace, (4) working experiences, (5) retention reasons (6)
leaving reasons (7) The contentious FTS position, (8) trouble issues, (9) The upcoming plan.

The major findings are the recruitment and maintenance of employees for their reasons for
leaving. Regarding the issue of preservation, main reasons for this are the use of education,
good holidays, good salary, pleasant work environment. The possible reasons for leaving
discontent with executive, the communication problems in terms of cultural understanding
and personal reasons to go to their country refer to.

Sheridan (1992), reports that the maintenance roles of nine hundred and four university
alumni have been hired in 6 public accounting firms for six years. Organizational culture
values differed significantly between companies. The diversification of educational values
has had a considerable impact on the rate at which newly recruited staff ended their work
voluntarily. The relationship between employees’ performance and preservation is also
different from the values of organizational culture. It is estimated that cultural influences
have led to a difference of more than six million dollars in human resource outlay between
companies with different enlightening values. The research implications of individual
organizational issues have been discussed.

Mohanty (2009), concludes that the attractiveness and retention of employees is by far the
biggest issue that corporate leaders have caused, due to lack of skilled labour, economic
growth and staff turnover. It is essential for employers to hire known people for this, but
keeping employment is much more important. The recruitment and maintenance of
employees includes actions that encourage them to maintain the maximum time in the
organization.

Howard (2008), states that a sample pattern of twelve retention aspects was developed in
previous theory. The open-end response coding supports 24,829 workers in leisure as well as
hospitality industry and frequently mentioned reasons for job satisfaction, external gifts,
affiliate attachments, organizational commitment and organizational dignity. Developing
opportunities and organizational respect for high performers and hours of work are among
the most common reasons and external gifts from low performers and hours of employees are
very common. The company has found the importance of separating human resource
management practices when many targeted their valuable employees.

Meek(2008), reports that considering the awareness of employee attraction and retention, 47
uses the model of high-small firms. We have found companies that provide positive working
environment, provide more freedom and flexibility for employees, employees’ involvement
in growth and opportunities, and low annual voluntary turnover (0-2%) rates; Compensation
with compensation and profit-related processes is clear and often helps employees and their
employees with them. More than 10% turnover reports for the past year have shown the
lowest frequency and richness of these sizes to their retention methods. 77 companies are part
of highend small companies, the retention of intellectual capital is the main issue. Industrial
differences between companies have been explored and theoretical and practical effects are d

Abeysekera (2007) in a study evaluated the HR practices like realistic information about job,
job analysis, work life balance and career opportunities, supervisor support and compensation
and their impact on employees’ intentions to leave which resulted that compensation and job
analysis have positive impact on employee turnover.

Hay Group (2009) stated that employee engagement includes components such as
commitment and discretionary effort. Commitment refers to employees’ attachment with an
organization and the intent to continue with. Discretionary effort refers to the employees’
readiness to leave. It is discussed that these two components must be considered seriously.

Chitra Devi and Latha (2011) conducted research on employee retention in the IT sector.

The main aim of the research is to identify why employees are migrating one from companies
to another i.e. reasons for migration and to analyze the retention benefits. Discriminant
analysis tools were used and resulted in the sector having to focus on compensation, job
satisfaction and job security as these were some of the important tools used for retention of
employees in organizations.

Kossivi and Kalgora (2016) attempted to study the various factors for retention from the
findings of various previous research studies and brought some factors such as opportunity
for development, work-life balance, compensation, style of leadership of the management,
work environment, autonomy, training & development, social support etc.

Vijayalakshmi V (2012) discussed in the study that employees-the bases of a company and
hence human resource department must focus on them by identifying why employees are
voluntarily leaving in an organization and what are all their needs relating to their growth,

20
21

education and personal life. This approach would create a positive impact in employee
retention in organizations.

Dr.Mitra Mehta and Aarti Kurbetti and Ravneeta Dhankhar (2014) This review paper's
main objective is to identify the best practices and methods adopted by various organizations
across industries to help enhance commitment and employee retention. Focused about the
various HR practices that help employee retention and foster employee commitment in the
organization.

Marie Rose Muir and Lin Li (2014) mainly identified a theoretical framework with two
levels of turnover collective and individual turnover. They probed into each level and
elaborated on the top factors in each domain. And focused on the effects on turnover and
retention strategies are included for each factor.

Muppuri. Nagabhaskar (2014) This theoretical paper investigated motivational factors that
influence employee retention and examined their impacts on both organizations and
employees. This paper argues the motivational factors that are crucial in influencing
employee retention are financial rewards, job characteristics, career development,
recognition, management and work-life balance. This research sought to identify factors that
affect employee retention and predict ways that the organization can improve on current
practices.

N. Hemalatha and Dr. A. Savarimuthu, (2013) The main objectives of their study –
collected the opinion of the employee about the various aspects of the company. And
identified how the organization takes interest & develops approaches towards the retaining
employee. Its desirable state of existence involving retention strategies generally fall into one
of four categories: salary, working conditions, job enrichment and education.

Bidisha Lahkar Das, Dr. Mukulesh Baruah (2013) This review paper mainly analyzed
various research works that have been done in the area of employee retention. They
highlighted the various factors which affect retention initiatives in an organization. And
explore the relation between various factors and job satisfaction. They finally concluded that
still much scope remains for more exploration in the field of employee retention and it by
taking into consideration the factors like compensation practices, leadership and supervision,
career planning and development, alternative work schedule, working conditions, flexible
working hours etc.

Toys .R (2008) analyzed comprehensive and valuable resources for all managers and HR
professionals who want to retain critical talent in their organizations. Calculating cost of
attritions and creating effective retention solutions. Retention refers to the desire of an
organization to hold on to their good employees. Retention is the other side of the
recruitment coin .However retaining qualified motivated employees is a critical issue that
will become more important for the individual employee.

Bliss (2007) and Sutherland (2004) contend that organizations lose productivity, social
capital and suffer customer defection when a productive employee quits. Knowledge, skills
and contacts that a departing employee takes out of the organization constitutes a huge loss.
These attributes are, in most cases, lost to a competitor organization that may use this to gain
competitive advantage.

Hendricks (2006) notes that employees with scarce skills are in great demand by the South
African government and becoming difficult to source. When these categories of employees
are eventually sourced, they become even more difficult for the government to retain. It is not
only, government that is finding it difficult retaining highly skilled employees.

Jane in the year (2004) has conducted the study on Trainer as retention Agent. The findings
suggested that a strategic focus on the importance of a strategic focus & delivered training
program should be made in order to enhance the organization's ability to attract & retain the
best employees leading to the success of the firm.

Ramallah (2003) Estimates the cost of employee turnover as 150% of an individual


employee‘s annual salary. This cost can be substantial especially when high profile
employees or a high number of employees are involved.

Stovel and Bontis(2002), High turnover can be detrimental to the organization‘s


productivity. This can result in the loss of business patronage and relationships, and can even
jeopardize the realization of organization.

CHAPTER-3 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

3.1RESEARCH PROBLEM

It is in the interest of the researcher to have a thorough


understanding about the retention strategies adopted in this industry, and
the employer, employee interest in the same.

PILOT STUDY

To have a basic idea about the employee retention programme


adopted and the issues related to it a pilot study was conducted to find out
the feasibility of conducting the study atNibav Lifts Technologies,
Chennai. The researcher had a discussion with the HR Manager. This
furnished the logical basis upon which the questionnaire was subsequently
framed.

3.2RESEARCH DESIGN

As the study attempts to describe the employee retention and


analyze the employee awareness, the Descriptive Design seemed to be
most appropriate and was therefore adopted.

23
24

Since the researcher wanted to confirm employee retention


strategies adopted atNibav Lifts Technologies, on the basis of the opinion
of the executives atNibav Lifts Technologies, all the executives atNibav
Lifts Technologies formed the universe for the study. The department wise
break up of the executives (universe) at Vistonsoft
Technologies is given below for referencVistons.

3.3 Research Methodology

Descriptive research design

This includes surveys and find out the truths of different questions. It simply describes
something like the demographics of the employees. It describes the status of the proposals as
it is and study has no effect on the employees.

3.4 Hypothesis

• Ho = Retention Strategies has positive impact in attracting the employees.


• Ha = Retention Strategies has highly negative impact in attracting the employees.

3.5 Data collection methods

● Primary Data

● Secondary Data

24
25

Sampling:

Process of subset selection from total population to obtain data for studying the entire
population of this subset is considered as a sample. The sample size for study is 100. In this
method, the sample unit is selected based on randomized sampling.

3.6 Statistical Tools Used:

Percentage analysis has been utilized to analyze the data.

3.7 Limitations of the study

The study is restricted to 100 sample size only

• Primary data collection is time consuming


• The study is limited to short period only
• It was difficult to meet the respondents and gain information as they were busy with
their work
• The respondents were not open in sharing the data.

Conclusion:

This chapter deals with the structure of the research activity which is adopted to analyse and
given a brief idea about the methodology followed in the report.

25
26

3.8 SAMPLE SIZE

Even though the department wise strength of the executives was


made available to the researcher, it was not possible to adopt “Stratified
Random Sampling
”(department wise) for the selection of sampling units due to organizational
constraints. Same way it was also not possible to have a proportionate
selection of units on the basis of department wise strength. On the other
hand it was suggested by the organization to ascertain with the executives
in each department about their willingness to fill in the questionnaire and
those who are willing to do so, were asked to be included in the data
collection.

Accordingly, adopting the “Convenience Sampling” procedure, a


total of 120 respondents were covered by the study.

The confirmation at later stage regarding the executives covered by


the study and their department of work is understand to be as follows

3.9 TOOLS OF DATA COLLECTION

Questionnaire is the tool adopted by the researcher for collecting the


data. It refers to securing answers for a set of pre_constructed form of
questions to be filled in/ answered by the respondent. This method is
followed because it is

● Cost effective.

● Free from bias of the interviewer.

● Rating will be done based on the respondents own thinking.

● Enough time is available for filling the questionnaire.

● All the respondents of the study are well educated and busy.

26
27

3.10 STRUCTURE OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE

Contents of the questionnaire are divided into

● Personal data of the respondents pertaining to employee


retention.
● Environmental strategies pertaining to employee retention.
● Support strategies pertaining to employee retention.
● Growth strategies pertaining to employee retention.
● Compensation strategies pertaining to employee retention.

PRE TESTING

In order to ascertain the validity of the tool of the data collection.


Viz questionnaire, a pre testing was done by the researcher with a selected
number of five respondents from the employees of the organization. This
was essential to find out the parts of the questionnaire, which was lacking
perfection, and also it helped the researcher to identify the lacking area and
also modify some parts of the questionnaire. The exercis3.54e done in this
regard was very useful for the researcher to give the final touch towards the
questionnaire before putting it into actual study.

ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

The data collected was analyzed and interpreted using a statistical


package for social sciences (SPSS). Tables were created for the various
items mentioned in the questionnaire.

27
28

ANALYSIS USING KARL PEARSON’S CORRELATION:


Correlation analysis is the statistical tool used to measure the
degree to which two variables are linearly related to each other. Correlation
measures the degree of association between two variables.

CHI- SQUARE TEST I –


A chi-squared test, also referred to as chi-square test or χ2 test, is any
statistical hypothesis test in which the sampling distribution of the test
statistic is a chi-squared distribution when the null hypothesis is true, or
any in which this is asymptotically true, meaning that the sampling
distribution (if the null hypothesis is true) can be made to approximate a
chi- squared distribution as closely as desired by making the sample size
large enough.

ONE WAY ANOVA

The ANOVA tests the null hypothesis that samples in two or more
groups are drawn from populations with the same mean values. To
do this, two estimates are made of the population variance. The
ANOVA produces an F-statistic, the ratio of the variance calculated
among the means to the variance within the samples. If the group
means are drawn from populations with the same mean values, the
variance between the group means should be lower than the
variance of the samples, following the central limit theorem. A
higher ratio therefore implies that the samples were drawn from
populations with different mean values.

PERCENTAGES

28
29

Percentages refer to a special kind of ratio. Percentages are used in


making comparison between two or more series of data. Percentages are
used to describe relationships, it is expressed as.
Percentage = (no of employees/total no of employees) 100

CHARTS:
Charts are graphic displays of data for easy understanding of
relative positions that is not always possible with descriptive words or
numbers. Types of charts commonly used in business data presentation are:
Bar and pie.

BAR CHARTS:
The bar chart is commonly used for presentation of qualitative data.
The data can be continuous or discrete data, which are plotted against
discrete data intervals. The vertical bar diagram, also called bar chart where
the length or height of bars represent the numerical value of the event or
measurement. Width or gap between the bars is of no significance to the
bar chart data, but they are uniform in a diagram.

DATA COLLECTION

Data collection was carried out atNibav Lifts Technologies. All the
120 respondents were distributed questionnaires at the workplace
itself .The researcher explained the study . On the whole all the
respondents were solicited for their help.

5.2 SUGGESTIONS

PROVIDE MORE POSITIVE FEEDBACK:

We all know that employees need feedback to improve and to do their best work both
positive, and constructive advice. A study on Harvard Business Review shows that the ideal
ratio between positive and negative suggestions is 5.6 (positive) to 1 (corrective). Positive
feedback should be given frequently to motivate employees and to give them the
determination they need to do their best work. But constructive and corrective feedback is
also important, particularly when there’s an urgent issue that needs to be nipped in the bud.
Moving forward, become more aware of how many negative comments you’re saying to your
employees in relation to positive comments. Move the ratio towards six positive comments
for every negative comment.

Encourage Employee Creativity

Although many companies say they value creativity, they don’t necessarily have any
initiatives or policies in place to support it for example, has a 20% program in which their
employees are given the opportunity to work on side projects that interest them. Give Your
Employees an Opportunity to Grow

Many companies promote people from outside of the organization, and don’t offer ongoing
training and education for their workers. Because there is no way to advance or improve,
employees become disillusioned in their roles, and are less likely to stay. Per Sharon
Florentine at CIO, ongoing education makes employees feel valued, and gives them
something to look forward to. When there is a clearly laid-out path for advancement, your
workforce will feel like they are a critical part of the company’s success. By promoting from
within and implementing a training program, or by leveraging outside resources and tools
(such as workshops, books, online courses and videos, etc.), you can create a powerful
incentive for your team members to stay over the long haul.
78

Earn The Trust of Your Employees

Employees perform better when they trust management and the people assigning them tasks.
They are more likely to achieve the goals that are set for them when they believe in the
person that’s getting them to do the work. 46% of employees stated that a lack of transparent
leadership communication is driving them to seek new employment. Meanwhile, 79% of
highly engaged employees have trust and confidence in their leaders. If you haven’t
implemented an employee engagement program, there’s a good chance they don’t trust you
as much as you think they do. As you’re looking to create more trust with your employees, it
will be necessary to: build personal connections, emphasize honesty and transparency,
motivate your team members, give credit and shoulder blame, avoid favouritism, and
demonstrate competence in your work. Your action step: this week, make it your goal to get
to know each of your employees a little better. Have open-ended conversations with them,
and make them feel welcome and free to discuss what’s on their mind.

Include Your Employees

No one wants to feel excluded in an organization they are a part of. A new hire wants to feel
like they were hired for a reason, and that they are playing a key role in helping the business
achieve its objectives. Josh Bersin, founder and principle at Bersin by Deloitte, found that
companies who deliberately work to encourage inclusion, diversity, development planning,
and leadership development in their culture were 3.8 times more likely to be able to coach
people for improved performance, 3.6 times more able to deal with personnel performance
problems, and 2.9 times more likely to identify and build leaders. This is just one of the
stunning findings on companies that make diversity and inclusion a priority. From hiring and
leadership assessment to professional development and performance management, you will
need to take a topdown approach to a culture of inclusion, and there are no shortcuts to
getting there. Your action step: this week, have a conversation with each of your employees
individually. Or, have an open-ended strategic meeting, and ask each of your team members
what their thoughts are on their role within the company. Listen, and take note of what they
say.
79

Apart from the findings mentioned above the researcher also places the
following general suggestions for the enhancement of Employee Retention
Strategies in the organization.

Corporations invest crores of rupees in recruiting and training


employees. Retention of employees is an important issue in this highly
competitive job market. A high turnout in the industry could cause a lot of
problems. The problems begin with recruitment practices and end with
retention tools.

The suggestions given by the respondents to combat retention were:

● Reward adequately
● Recognize performance promptly
● Provide better opportunities for career growth
● Better facilities and work environment
● Respect employees/friendly environment
● Provide Job Security
80

5.3 CONCLUSION

Employee retention is a major concern for many employers; management teams of


successful organization have to realize the importance of retention its most productive
workforce. High turnover leads to loss of valuable workers whose replacement is costly.
It is important to note that a high employee turnover is normally unhealthy to an
organization’s performance as well as the productivity of other presumably loyal
employees. Moreover, turnover affects productivity of remaining employees since they
may be compelled to perform duties of more than one person or allocated duties that do
not match with their training.

Employee exit from an organization may be a subject of variant factors; however,


although some are avoidable, other factors may be too strong for the employer to
control. It is fundamental for employers to identify these factors and establish strategies
of preventing their occurrence. Primarily, turnover is attributed to lack of job
satisfaction or economic conditions. Lack of job satisfaction is mainly caused by unmet
expectations, the nature of job, corporate culture in the organization and personal
demographics. On the other hand, market conditions influence turnover through
availability of better job opportunities with improved compensation.

In order to limit harm of high turnover, employers need to utilize some strategies so as
to improve job satisfaction and hence retention. Primarily, an employer should review
his compensation packages, the workplace relationships, career and development
prospects, and support in the workplace to facilitate retention of high-performers. The
employers should offer competitive compensation packages depending on skills and
experience of their employees and duration worked. Moreover, the employers can allow
high-performers to formulate their work schedule or flexible working hours. Besides,
the employers should compensate the employees for any extra hours. Further,
employees want more independence and autonomy whenever handling their duties.
Moreover, employers can retain employees through providing career development
opportunities and training.

The workplace culture influences the productivity of employees and also the rate of
turnover. Management needs to instil a supportive culture in the workplace as it leads to
higher job satisfaction, therefore lower turnover.
81

Retaining the resources of an organization is very critical in any organization. This


assumes greater significance in an I.T firm. HR faces a challenging task of
addressing this issue. The various measures mentioned above will go a long way in
motivating and retaining the employees. As it is said, motivated and satisfied
employees reflect an organization’s wealth more than a positive balance sheet. To
get a full grasp on the causes of retention, it is an important aspect for the I.T
organizations. In addition to holding exit interviews in which companies can
compile data on why employees leave, it is important to also examine the
following:

Recruiti
ng
process

Call
center
metrics
▪ Organizational structure
▪ Coaching and
career planning ▪
Ongoing
training
opportunities
▪ Organizational culture
82

By looking at the above characteristics, senior management will be


able to get to the core issues of retention and determine a strategy for
organizational change. Creating an environment where attrition is kept to a
minimum will help to improve productivity, enhance employee morale, reduce
staffing expenses and enrich the quality of service provided to customers – all
factors that contribute to a world class organization.
