Reversing Turnover Trends: Strategic Interventions for Sustainable Workforce Retention

This study looks at the main variables affecting employee turnover and retention, especially for Gen Z and young professionals. This study explores contemporary retention measures that go beyond conventional techniques like pay raises and performance reviews because excessive turnover disrupts operations and raises expenses for businesses. 100 participants were surveyed using a descriptive research design to learn more about their aspirations and work values between 2019 and 2024. The results show that the most important element in keeping talent is flexibility, especially through remote and hybrid work arrangements. Employees place a high value on career development and engagement, but the study discovered that many firms' current programs fall short of their potential. The study comes to the conclusion that in order to increase retention, businesses need to use a multifaceted approach that combines improved engagement, flexible work arrangements, and clear career growth pathways.
