A 'hot investment hub' for foreign investors, India has been witnessing a stirred up job market; especially in mid segment organizations, employee retention has become increasingly difficult. Losing skilled and talented workforce impacts businesses every possible way.
It not only damages organization's productivity but also disrupts current and potential leadership while acting as a blow to company morale. It is generally considered that employees leave mainly for pay-related reasons. However, a number of surveys conducted in the area reveal that most of the employees leave their jobs for reasons other than pay.
To name a few, lack of growth and advancement opportunities, feeling of dejection due to absence of appreciation and recognition, and work-life imbalance etc. are the major ones.
Certainly, retaining workforce is harder in such circumstances but adopting effective retention strategies do ensure keeping of talent in place to move ahead with organizational goals.
