Talent attraction and retention refer to the processes and strategies

individuals to join their workforce and then retain them over the long
term.
It involves creating a favorable employer brand, implementing
effective recruitment practices, and establishing a positive work
environment that encourages employee satisfaction, engagement, and
growth.
Both talent attraction and retention are crucial for organisations to
build a strong and high-performing workforce. By attracting top talent,
organisations can gain a competitive edge, drive innovation, and
achieve their strategic goals.

Cost Savings: Retaining talented employees is more cost-
effective than constantly recruiting and training new ones. The
cost of employee turnover can be substantial, including expenses
related to recruitment, onboarding, training, and lost productivity
during the transition period.
Knowledge and Experience Retention: Retaining
talented individuals allows organisations to preserve this
knowledge and benefit from their experience, which can
contribute to improved decision-making, problem-
solving, and overall organisational performance.
Employee Engagement and Morale: Retaining talented
individuals fosters a positive work environment and boosts
employee morale, leading to increased productivity, job
satisfaction, and overall organisational success.
