PREFACE
In spite of the theoretical knowledge gained through classroomstudy, a person is incomplete if not subject to practical exposure
of real corporate world and may have to face hurdles, which will
be difficult to overcome without any first hand experience of
business.
In this context a project made on any chosen topic has been
inculcated within course to make the individual aware of
happening of the real business world .The report, entitled
Retention has been done by me at OPUS Estates a real estate
marketing company basically functioning in Kolkata.
The prior reason for choosing the organization was my association
with it.
I have been a part of OPUS for the past 3 months and I am
currently working there as the Business Coordinator.

As employees are the bases for company so retention ofemployees is a
major focus for HR department. The management should identifythe
important factors that affect retention and should take necessary
measuresto improve these. Also, the management should take appropriatemeasure
to identify the reasons of employee voluntarily leave.
It is only the employees that implement and give tangibility to the
corporate mission. In other words if it is the highest rung in thecorporate
hierarchy that has ideas, it is the employees rung that has thechisel to
bring the vision to life. In the best of worlds, employees would
love their
jobs. Like their co-workers, work hard for their employers, getpaid well for
their work, have ample chances of advancement and flexibleschedules so
they could attend to personal or family needs when necessary.And never

leave.
But then theres the real world. And in the real world,employees, do,
leave, either because they want more money, hate the workingconditions,
hate their co-workers, want a change, or because their spousegets a dream
job in another state. Unlike inanimate products and systems thatsubject
themselves to fine tuning without any reaction, employees wouldnot
subject themselves to any measure taken without reaction andanalysis.
Hence managing human resources, particularly retaining them, isan art
that calls for special skills and strategies.
Employee survey and exit interviews can be used forassessing the
reasons of employee voluntarily leave. HR interventions such as
improving
selection process, effective orientation and training, betteremployee
relation, better career development programs and planning etcshould be
used to improve employee retention.
The top organizations are on the top because they valuetheir

employees and they know how to keep them glued to theorganization. So
it can be rightly concluded that all leading business houses are on
the vergeof improvising their retention strategies. Thus I also wanted toendeavor
my knowledge upon EMPLOYEE RETENTION and grabbed the
opportunity to make a thorough study on it.

pace

towards success. The major reason for this rapid growth lies intheir
workforce and how they retain it. The employees are providedwith a
comfortable working environment to work in. This motivates themto
work hard and perform. The aspects of security for the femaleemployee
are specially taken care of.
Most of the employees have target-oriented jobs. This act asanother
motivational factor. The employees strive to reach the target andthus end
performing better and better. This ultimately works in favor of the
company but the management never forgets to reward the oneswho have
performed. In case of any outstanding performance they areappreciated
through special gifts.
If someone is a consistent performer he/she is felicitated with
opportunities of growth and promotion. Permission for temporaryleave is
granted as and when required based on a justified reason andoverwork is
adjusted through a day off. No penalty is charged for coming lateon any
day if it is priorly informed.
25

The employees are often involved in the business activities andfresh and
new ideas are openly praised. The management tries to maintaina
transparent work culture so that no employee fall prey to theoffice politics.
There is a HR manager available who looks after the issues andproblems
faced by any employee and tries to redress it as soon as possible.The
employees if not satisfied may always opt for a discussion withthe
management.
In such a case, when an employee is on the verge of leaving the
organization, the management arranges for the exit interview.This gets
conducted with the prior intention of knowing the reason ofleaving and
then to make an effort to hold him back. Both are helpful in equal
ways. Firstly by knowing the reason of leaving, the company willbe able to
rectify its mistake and secondly it may hold back a valuableemployee of
the organization.
Finally it can be penned down that the rate of attrition is very lowin this
organization. There is immense job security for all of them who
work hard
and honestly. Thus it is very evident that the retention strategies26

formulated by the organization are praiseworthy and willultimately result
in being helpful for the stability of its growth.
INTRODUCTION on
RetentionDuring the past decade, employee turnover has become a
very serious problem for organizations. Managing retention &keeping the turnover rate below target & including norms is one
of the most challenging issues facing business. All indications
point toward the issue compounding in the future and even as
economic time change, turnover will continue to be an important
issue for most job groups. The causes of turnover are not
adequately identified & solutions are often not matched with thecauses, so the fail. Preventive measures are either not in place or
27
-
8/9/2019 Poject on Retention
28/78
do not target the issue properly, and therefore have little or no
effect, and a method for measuring progress & identifying a
monetary value (ROI) on retention does not exists in most
organizations. Managing employee retention is a practical guide
for manager to retain their talented employees. It shows how to
manage & monitor turnover and how to develop the ROI of
keeping their talent using innovative retention program.
Employees are the most important and valuable assets of an
organization. Organizations today are doing their best to hold on
to their employees. Retaining them is as important as hiring them
in the first place. Retention is the next challenge after hiring the
employees. Retention is important because to make good people
stick in the organization.
Employees today are different. They are not the ones who
dont 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.
Definition
Employee retention is a process in which the employees areencouraged 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 theyll as the
employee.
Employee retention refers to policies and practices
companies use to prevent valuable employees from leaving their
jobs

Factors that affectEmployee retention:- Shifting markets
Demands for specific skills
Business conditions
Demographics Lifestyle changes
Technology issues
Trends in work life decision as employees needs change
What makes an Employee
leave? Employees do not leave an organization without any significant
reason. There are certain circumstances that lead to their leaving
the organization.
The most common reasons can be:
Job is not what the employee expected to be: Sometimes
the job responsibilities dont come out to be same as expected by
the candidates. Unexpected job responsibilities lead to job
dissatisfaction.
29
-
8/9/2019 Poject on Retention
30/78
No growth opportunities: No or less learning and growth
opportunities in the current job will make candidates job and
career stagnant.
Lack of appreciation: If the supervisor does not appreciate
the work, the employee feels de-motivated and loses interest in
job.
Lack of trust and support in coworkers, seniors and
management: Trust is the most important factor that is required
for an individual to stay in the job Non-supportive coworkers,
seniors and management can make office environment unfriendly
and difficult to work in.
Stress from overwork and work life imbalances: Job stress
can lead to work life imbalances which ultimately many times lead
to employee leaving the organization.
Compensation: Better compensation packages being offered
by other companies may attract employees towards themselves.
New job offer: As attractive job offer that an employee thinks
is good for him with respect to job responsibility, compensation,
growth and learning etc., can lead an employee to leave the
organization.
IMPORTANCE OF EMPLOYEERETENTION
Now that so much is being done by organizations to retain
its employees why is retention so important? Is it just to reduce
30
-
8/9/2019 Poject on Retention
31/78
the turnover costs? The answer is a definite no. Its not only the
cost incurred by a company that emphasizes the need of
retaining employees but also the need to retain talented
employees from getting poached. The process of retention will
benefit an organization in the following ways:
1. The Cost of Turnover:The cost of employee turnover adds
hundreds of thousands of money to a companys expenses.
While it is difficult to fully calculate the cost of turnover,
industry experts often quote 25% of the average employee
salary as a conservative estimate.
2. Loss of Company Knowledge: When an employee leaves,
he takes with him valuable knowledge about the company,
customers, current projects and past history. Often much
time and money has been spent on the employee is
expectation of a future return.
3. 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 aresevered, which could lead to potential customer loss.
4. Turnover leads to more turnovers: When an employee
terminates, the effect is felt throughout the organizations.
Co-workers are often required to pick up the slack. Theunspoken negativity often intensifies for the remaining staff.
31
-
8/9/2019 Poject on Retention
32/78
5. 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.
6. 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.
How to increase
Employee Retention?Companies have now realized the importance of retaining
their quality workforce. Retaining quality performance contributes
to productivity of the organization and increase morale among
employees.
Of the basic factors that play an important role in increasing
employee retention include salary and remuneration, providingrecognition, benefits and opportunities for individual growth. But
are they really positively contributing to the retention rates of a
company? Basic salary these days hardly reduces turnover.
32
-
8/9/2019 Poject on Retention
33/78
Employee Retention can
be increased by involvingthe following practices:-
1. Open Communication: A culture of open communication
enforces loyalty among employees. Open communication
tends to keep employees informed on key issues. Most
33
-
8/9/2019 Poject on Retention
34/78
importantly, they need to know that their opinions matter
and that management is100% interested in their input.
2. Employee Reward Program: A positive recognition for
work boosts the motivational levels of employees. Recognition
can be made explicit by providing awards like best employee of
the month or punctually award. Project based recognition also
has great significance. The award can be in terms of gifts or
money.
3. Career Development Program: Every individual is worried
about his/her career. He is always keen to know his career path
in the company organizations can offer various technical
certifications, which will help employee in enhancing his
knowledge.
4. Performance Based Bonus: A provision of performance
linked bonus can be made wherein an employee is bale to
relate his performance with the company profits and hence will
work hard. This bonus should strictly be productivity based.
5. Recreation facilities: Recreation facilities help in keeping
employees away from recreational programs should be
arranged. They may include taking employees to trips annually
or bi-annually, celebrating anniversaries, sports activities, etc.,
6. Good and healthy working ambience: A good, healthy
and safe working environment always enables employees to
work comfortably and hence they get an incentive to perform
better.
7. Gifts at Some Occasions: Giving out some gifts at the time
of one or
two festivals to the employees making them feel good.

The picture states the latest statement that corporate believes inLove
them or lose them
Employees today are different. They are not the ones who donthave good
opportunities in hand. As soon as they feel dissatisfied with thecurrent
employer or the job, they switch over to the next job. It is theresponsibility
of the employer to retain their best employees. If they dont, theywould be
left with no good employees. A good employer should know howto attract
and retain its employees.
Retention involves five major things:
1)COMPENSATION 2)ENVIRONMENT 3) GROWTH

4)RELATIONSHIP 5) SUPPORT
Employee RetentionStrategies
The basic practices that should be kept in mind in the employee
retention strategies are:
Creating a Motivating Environment: Team leaders who
create motivating environments are likely to keep their members
together for a longer period of time. Motivation does notnecessarily have to come through fun events such as parties,
celebrations, team outings etc. they can also come through
serious events e.g. arranging a talk by the VP of Quality on career
opportunities in the field of quality. Employees who look forward
to these events and are likely to remain more engaged.
Standing up for the Team: Team leaders are closest to
their team members. While they need to ensure smooth
functioning of their team by implementing management
decisions, they also need to educate their managers about the
realities on the ground. When agents see the team leader
standing up for them, they will have one more reason to stay in
the team.
36

37/78
Providing coaching: Everyone wants to be successful in his
or her current job. However, not everyone knows how. Therefore,
one of the key responsibilities will be providing coaching that is
intended to improve the performance of employees. Managers
often tend to escape this role by just coaching their employees.
However, coaching is followed by monitoring performance and
providing feedback on the same.
Delegation: Many team leaders and managers feel that
they are the only people who can do a particular task or job.
Therefore, they do not delegate their jobs as much as theyshould. Delegation is a great way to develop competencies.
Extra Responsibility: Giving extra responsibility to
employees is another way to get them engaged with the
company. However, just giving the extra responsibility does not
help. The manager must spend good time teaching the
employees of how to manage responsibilities given to them so
that they dont feel over burdened.
Focus on Future career: Employees are always
concerned about their future career. A manager should focus on
showing employees his career leader. If an employee sees that is
current job offers a path towards their future career likely to stay
longer in the company. Therefore, managers should play the role
of career counselors as well.
