Employee retention, most desirable employees, is a key challenge in organizations today. Knowing what makes employees unhappy is half the battle when you think about employee work satisfaction, morale, positive motivation, and retention. If employees feel safe, they will tell you whats on their minds. Your work culture must foster trust for successful two-way communication. Competitive salary, competitive vacation and holidays, and tuition reimbursement are three basics in employee retention.

Employee Retention involves taking measures to encourage employees to remain the organization for the maximum period of time. Corporate is facing a 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 for such employees. If a person is not satisfied by the job hes doing, he may switch over to some other more suitable job. In todays environment it becomes very important for organizations to retain their employees.

Robi Axiata Limited is a dynamic and leading countrywide GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) communication solution provider. It is a joint venture company between Axiata Group Berhad, Malaysia and NTT DOCOMO INC, Japan. On 28th March, 2010 the company started its new journey with the brand name Robi. This name has been chosen by a panel of higher management of Robi and by the renowned persons of Bangladesh. As NTT DOCOMO INC is from the land of rising sun Japan, they have advised to initiate a name, which narrate the meaning of sun. Ultimately the panel selects the brand name Robi. After the joint venture, Robi faces enormous transformation in operation, human resource and policy etc. As an intern of Robi I have observe various transformation in my unit which I have pointed out those key changes in this report.

In this research paper, I have provided qualitative and quantitative research on Employee Retention of Robi. I have discussed & worked out with theoretical reviews of HR Operations and policies that are made regarding employee retention.This internship report is on the Employee Retention program of Robi. This report is designed in four major chapters. Initially the opening words about the report were described in the first segment titled Introduction. The next segment Overview of Robi contains the history of Robi, operations in Bangladesh, product offerings and recent activities briefly.

Next two chapters are described based on my job experience and the project. In chapter three, I have briefly described the key responsibilities, duties and involvements as an intern in Human Resource unit. Also, I have attached the key responsibilities while I was sent on training for two weeks program in HR Transformation Project.

Next Chapter, there I have described technological and statistical both kinds of approach regarding employee retention that already taken place in Robi HR Operations.

At the end, I have found some critical problems of those changes and I have given recommendations from my experience in Robi.

Introduction

1.1. Introduction

Human resource management (HRM) is the strategic and coherent approach to the management of an organization most valued assets- the people working there who individually and collectively contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the business. The terms human resource management and human resources (HR) have largely replace the term `personnel management as descriptions the processes involved in managing people in organizations. In simple sense, HRM means employing people, developing their resources, utilizing, maintaining and compensating their services in tune with the job and organizational requirement. The ability to keep employees within an organization is called as Employee Retention. In a competitive market, best practices for retaining top talent include offering a stimulating work environment, flexible career options, an excellent benefit package, and a culture that values staff contributions.

Before going to Retention, lets discuss the reason why companies are being keen on retention. As there are plenty of opportunities for todays people tend to move from one organization to another organization for various reasons and even the companies try to pull people from their competitors and this leads to ATTRITION. Attrition is defined as the rate at which people move out from organizations. The attrition rate is observed to be high in todays scenario and is becoming quite expensive for the organizations and time consuming as the position vacant must be filled up. Hence companies are planning and implementing various strategies to retain their employees.

The process of retaining particular thing within us is called retention. In organizations, the process of retaining the best employees within the organization and not letting them off the organization is known as retention.

Human resource management in a modern term that emerges during 1970s. Its use gradually spread, and in 1989, the American society for personnel & Administration voted to change its name to the Society for Human Resource Management. Since Human Resources are an organizations most important asset, All manger should be vitally conceded with human source management.

The Human Resources Management (HRM) function includes a variety of activities, and key among them is deciding what staffing needs you have and whether to use independent contractors or hire employees to fill these needs, recruiting and training the best employees, ensuring they are high performers, dealing with performances issues, and ensuring your personnel and management practices conform to various regulations. Activities also include managing your approach to employee benefits and compensation, employee records and personnel policies. These policies are often in the form of employee manuals, which all employees have.

Human resource management is starting to make a leading role in the industry or organization. Business leaders recognize the importance of their employees to the future of their organizations. Compensation in world markets is becoming based on the skills and abilities of people, not machines, indeed, among major competitors; virtually everyone has essentially the same equipment. The difference is often what the people in the organization do with the equipment.

Society and economy have changed significantly during the twentieth century. The trend has got significance and will impact on the labor force as it enters the twenty first century. Corporations recognize the importance of human resource. Firms can better utilize skills and talents of their employees, resulting business benefit from better human resource management. Therefore proper practice of HRM can create visionary leadership for its top management positions.

1.2Background of the Study

This report is an internship report prepared as a partial fulfillment of requirement for the completion of the MBA (Masters in Business Administration) from Islamic International University Chittagong, Dhaka Campus. The primary goal of the internship was to provide an on the job exposure to the student and an opportunity for translation of theoretical conceptions in real life situation. We, the students, were placed in national and international enterprises, organizations, research institutions as well as development projects. I was assigned to the HR Operation Division of Robi Axiata Bangladesh Ltd. for Practical orientation I was sent to Human Resource Division in a project under the supervision of Sharmin Sultan, Resourcing Manager, Human Resource Division, for two weeks training program.

This report has been prepared on my practical experiences from 13th March, 2011 to 13th June, 2011 in Robi Axiata Bangladesh Ltd.

International Islamic University Chittagong (IIUC) has decided that each and every student of the MBA program has to prepare and submit a `Thesis Report. It is expected from the students that besides theoretical knowledge, they should have practical, hands on knowledge and field work, which will enhance their learning by providing a great opportunity to achieve a very comprehensive and complete learning.

Specific Objectives:

The objectives of this report are the followings: To know about the Human Resources Division in Robi Axiata Limited.

To understand Importance of Retention program in Robi Axiata Limited. To know the current retention strategies approached by Robi Axiata Limited. Identify areas of development in Retention strategies in Robi Axiata Limited

The report covers overall HR Operations activities and procedures of the Axiata Bangladesh Ltd. (Robi). This report specifically emphasizes on the changes happened in HR Operation after transforming from Aktel to Robi from 28th March, 2010-28th March, 2011.

1.5 Methodology (Qualitative Research & Quantitative Research)

To make the report more meaningful and presentable, two sources of data and information were used widely. Both primary and secondary data sources were used to prepare this report. There are some records collected from various resources of the company. Most of them can be treated as the secondary data. Furthermore, there were some presentations that have been used as a medium of collecting data for preparing this report.

Primary data that are mainly used are from different persons directly related to HR Operations functions of Robi. The secondary data are mainly collected through different journals, yearbooks, brand book, presentations slides, websites (Robi) and etc.1.6 Data Collection

Both the primary and secondary forms of data are used to make the report more valuable and informative. The details of these sources are gives below:

Primary Sources Discussion with the officers working in the HR Operations of Robi. Personal Observation, practical work experience.Secondary Sources

Brochure, brand book, yearbook of Robi and Robi portal.

Various books, articles, Newspaper etc.

Websites of the Robi and other telecommunication related webs.

Newspapers and magazines regarding telecom issues.

Employee Handbook of Robi.

1.7 Limitations

Finally, I want to talk about my limitations that I had to face during the completion of the report. On the way of preparing of this report, I have faced following problems that may be termed as the limitation of the study.

Only three months are not enough to understand the overall operations of a large company like Robi.

Some sensitive data and confidential information for obvious reason posed an obstacle to the practical orientation that could be very much useful which were not disclosed to the intern.

Non-availability of data and information that are more recent on different activities of Robi was a great difficulty to depict the actual and up-to-date business position of the Company.

The officials were too busy to provide me much time for interview.

Many of the analysis on the obtained data are based upon my own interpretation.

Lack of statistical data makes my report harder to prepare.Chapter 2

Literature Review2.1. Definition-Employee RetentionEmployee retention refers to the ability of an organization to retain its employees. Employee retention can be represented by a simple statistic (for example, a retention rate of 80% usually indicates that an organization kept 80% of its employees in a given period). However, many consider employee retention as relating to the efforts by which employers attempt to retain employees in their workforce. In this sense, retention becomes the strategies rather than the outcome.

In a Business setting, the goal of employers is usually to decrease employee turnover, thereby decreasing training costs, recruitment costs and loss of talent and organizational knowledge. By implementing lessons learned from key organizational behavior concepts employers can improve retention rates and decrease the associated costs of high turnover. However, this isn't always the case. Employers can seek "positive turnover" whereby they aim to maintain only those employees who they consider to be high performers.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employee_retention)

Employee retention refers to the various policies and practices which let the employees stick to an organization for a longer period of time. Every organization invests time and money to groom a new joinee, make him a corporate ready material and bring him at par with the existing employees. The organization is completely at loss when the employees leave their job once they are fully trained. Employee retention takes into account the various measures taken so that an individual stays in an organization for the maximum period of time.(http://www.managementstudyguide.com/employee-retention.htm)2.2 Employee Retention How to Retain Employees

Hiring employees is just a start to creating a strong work force. Next, you have to keep them. High employee turnover costs business owners in time and productivity. Try these tactics to retain your employees.

Offer a competitive benefits package that fits your employees needs. Providing health insurance, life insurance and a retirement-savings plan is essential in retaining employees. But other perks, such as flextime and the option of telecommuting, go a long way to show employees you are willing to accommodate their outside lives.

Provide some small perks. Free bagels on Fridays and dry-cleaning pickup and delivery may seem insignificant to you, but if they help employees better manage their lives, theyll appreciate it and may be more likely to stick around.

Use contests and incentives to help keep workers motivated and feeling rewarded. Done right, these kinds of programs can keep employees focused and excited about their jobs.

Conducts stay interviews. In addition to performing exit interviews to learn why employees are leaving, consider asking longer-tenured employees why they stay. Ask questions such as: Why did you come to work here? Why have you stayed? What would make you leave? And what are your nonnegotiable issues? What about your managers? What would you change or improve? Then use that information to strengthen your employee-retention strategies.

Promote from within whenever possible. And give employees a clear path of advancement. Employees will become frustrated and may stop trying if they see no clear future for themselves at your company.

Foster employee development. This could be training to learn a new job skill or tuition reimbursement to help further your employees education.

Create open communication between employees and management. Hold regular meetings in which employees can offer ideas and ask questions. Have an open-door policy that encourages employees to speak frankly with their managers without fear of repercussion.

Get managers involved. Require your managers to spend time coaching employees, helping good performers move to new positions and minimizing poor performance.

Communicate your businesss mission. Feeling connected to the organizations goals is one way to keep employees mentally and emotionally tied to your company.

Offer financial rewards. Consider offering stock options or other financial awards for employees who meet performance goals and stay for a predetermined time period, say, three or five years. Also, provide meaningful annual raises. Nothing dashes employee enthusiasm more than a paltry raise. If you can afford it, give more to your top performers. Or, if you dont want to be stuck with large permanent increases, create a bonus structure where employees can earn an annual bonus if they meet pre-specified performance goals.

Make sure employees know what you expect of them. It may seem basic, but often in small companies, employees have a wide breadth of responsibilities. If they dont know exactly what their jobs entail and what you need from them, they cant perform up to standard, and morale can begin to dip.

Hire a human-resources professional. If your company is nearing 100 employees, consider hiring a human-resources director to oversee and streamline your employee structure and processes. Putting one person in charge of managing employee benefits, perks, reviews and related tasks takes a huge load off of you and makes sure employees are treated fairly. HR managers are also more up to date on employment laws and trends. They can set up various programs and perks you may not have known existed.

2.3 How to Improve Employee Retention (Articles)As the economy revives, companies with dis-satisfied employees will experience a swift exodus of their top talent. Here's how to keep your staff engaged and happy.

In a down economy, employees have fewer opportunities to take a job at another company, but entrepreneurs would be remiss to take their fingers off the pulse of company morale simply because employees have fewer options. "Companies that don't think about [employee retention], that basically rest on their laurels and think 'the economy will take care of us, where are they going to go?' Those are the companies that, as soon as the labor market picks back up, their turnover rates are going to go from 5 percent to 50 percent and it will happen overnight," says Mark Murphy, author of The Deadly Sins of Employee Retention and CEO of Leadership IQ, a Washington D.C.-based executive education firm.

So what's one of the biggest reasons people quit their jobs? "One of the major reasons is being dissatisfied with their supervisor," says Linda Argote, a professor of organizational behavior at Carnegie Mellon and editor-in-chief of Organization Science. And in the cramped confines of a small business, that relationship can create even more of a strain. "In bigger companies there are more opportunities to move to other jobs if you're dissatisfied with a particular supervisor but like the firm, whereas smaller companies may have fewer options so they run the risk of losing the employee," Argote adds.

How to Improve Employee Retention: Motivation is not enoughBonuses, vacation days, office parties, and many of the tools in a business owner's arsenal revolve around rewarding employees for a job well done and motivating them to produce similarly stunning results in the future. But Murphy says that leaders who dole out these types of perks are only focusing on half of the picture.

There are "two issues generally going on with employees at any given time: there are 'shoves,' things that de-motivate people, and then there are 'tugs,' the things that motivate you, that tug at you to stay at the organization," he says. While these factors will differ for every employee, leaders often make the mistake of focusing on the motivators without adequately considering what rubs people the wrong way.

Dig Deeper: Recruiting and Retention Secrets of Inc. 500 Alumni How to Improve Employee Retention: Keeping the Employee SatisfiedEven if you resolve to be more attuned to employee likes and dislikes, it can be difficult to ascertain what drives your employees especially when their motives differ from your own.

In the last 10 years, as CEO of Engage Direct Mail, Dennis Hoffman learned the hard way that "I never know what's inside people's heads. I used to assume everybody's ambitious because I'm ambitious and that everybody's motivated by money because I'm motivated by money, and I've learned through painful experience that that's not the case."

Despite Hoffman's self-professed learning curve, his company actually has a stellar retention rate for its 130 employees. Engage has a 90-day trial period during which they evaluate whether new hires are good fits for the company. During that time their retention rate is about 77 percent and afterwards it is over 95 percent, which is about as good as you can get. After all, "zero percent turnovers is not a thing to aim for," Murphy explains. You want to retain your high performers and strong matches and gracefully part ways with your worst performers.

Dig Deeper: Attracting Top Tech People to a Small CityHow to Improve Employee Retention: Attracting the Right CandidatesOver the years, Engage has implemented a number of policies that serve the dual purpose of attracting potential employees and keeping current ones passionate and committed. Here are a handful of examples:

Engage gives hiring priority to people who live near the office because they believe that long commutes are detrimental to work-life balance.

Instead of a traditional vacation policy, the company lets employees take time off from a leave bank, in which they can accumulate as many as 60 days off to use as they see fit. This policy has helped with employee retention, particularly by making it easier for female employees starting families to take time off and ultimately return to work.

During the hiring process, Engage administers the DISC Personality test, which charts the four characteristics, drive, influence, steadiness, and compliance, to build personality profiles for new hires. All employees' test results are public knowledge, which Hoffman feels helps people understand one another and get along.

By setting quarterly goals with rewards attached, such as iPods for the whole team or a trip to a nice restaurant, Engage can encourage employees beyond the competitive and potentially divisive realm of salary bonuses. The group nature of these rewards is important, says Hoffman, because "somebody who is not motivated by getting an iPod knows that other people in his or her group are and doesn't want to let them down."

In addition to spurring employees to productivity, this team structure can make them happier in the workplace. Argote says, "Theres evidence that being in cohesive work groups where members like each other reduces turnover."Dig Deeper: Share the Perks

2.4 Importance of Retention ProgramEmployee 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.Employee retention has become a major concern for corporate in the current scenario. Individuals once being trained have a tendency to move to other organizations for better prospects. Lucrative salary, comfortable timings, better ambience, growth prospects are some of the factors which prompt an employee to look for a change. Whenever a talented employee expresses his willingness to move on, it is the responsibility of the management and the human resource team to intervene immediately and find out the exact reasons leading to the decision.Need & Importance of Employee Retention

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 make 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.

The employees working for a longer period of time are more familiar with the companys 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 favor 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.

The management must understand the difference between a valuable employee and an employee who doesnt contribute much to the organization. Sincere efforts must be made to encourage the employees so that they stay happy in the current organization and do not look for a change.

4.2 Importance of Retention program in Robi Axiata Limited

The importance of retention program has been evaluated and implemented in Robi to ensure proper employee branding throughout the company as Robi is an important brand who value their employees. The importances are given below:

The Cost of Turnover: The cost of employee turnover adds hundreds of thousands of money to a company's expenses. While it is difficult to fully calculate the cost of turnover (including hiring costs, training costs and productivity loss), industry experts often quote 25% of the average employee salary as a conservative estimate. Loss of Company Knowledge: When an employee leaves, he takes with him valuable knowledge about the company, customers, current projects and past history (sometimes to competitors). Often much time and money has been spent on the employee in expectation of a future return. When the employee leaves, the investment is not realized.

Interruption of Customer Service: Customers and clients do business with a company in part because of the people. Relationships are developed that encourage continued sponsorship of the business. When an employee leaves, the relationships that employee built for the company are severed, which could lead to potential customer loss.

Turnover leads to more turnovers: When an employee terminates, the effect is felt throughout the organization. Co-workers are often required to pick up the slack. The unspoken negativity often intensifies for the remaining staff.

Goodwill of the company: The goodwill of a company is maintained when the attrition rates are low. Higher retention rates motivate potential employees to join the organization.

Regaining efficiency: If an employee resigns, then good amount of time is lost in hiring a new employee and then training him/her and this goes to the loss of the company directly which many a times goes unnoticed. And even after this you cannot assure us of the same efficiency from the new employee.4.3 Employee Retention Strategies in Robi Axiata Limited: Uses only research-based, theory-supported approaches to improving employee engagement.
