PROJECT PROPOSAL
Title of the project - A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ABOUT THE IMPACT OF
EMPLOYEE RETENTION STRATEGIES ON JOB SATISFACTION ACROSS BUSINESS
ORGANIZATIONS.
Project Synopsis – Employee retention is the most critical issue facing corporate leaders
because of the shortage of skilled labor, economic growth, and employee turnover. Retention is
defined as “the ability to hold onto those employees you want to keep, for longer than your
competitor.
Providing a prolific, flexible, and dynamic work environment can be a critical asset in attracting
and retaining valuable employees. To develop an effective retention plan for today’s employment
market, it is vital to realize the varying needs and expectations. If the retention strategies are not
properly embedded in the business processes, all efforts since recruitment will ultimately prove
futile.
For organizations to keep up with their competitors and guarantee the growth of their businesses,
such strategies must effectively ensure employee satisfaction, enhance employee performance,
and ultimately safeguard against high turnover.
This research will provide guidance to business organizations. This will help the organizations
to create a more employee-oriented and valued culture to help them in retaining the employees.
With the implementation of these in the organizations they will be able to retain the employees
and ultimately be benefited from it for a longer period with more commitment and success these
