company over a given time period is referred to as the staff turnover. This is a broad phrase that
encompasses both voluntary and involuntary exits, as well as personnel who are terminated or put off in
various ways. In an institution, there are various types of turnover, such as employee absenteeism, total
turnover, and voluntary turnover. It is critical for the company to limit staff turnover because it has a
negative influence on the brand's image as well as the workforce.

As per the view of, (Leonardi, 2020) Turnover intention at Tesco can be caused by a variety of factors,
including a lack of organisational growth and success, as well as a lack of evaluation and feedback. It is
critical for the company to provide feedback and implement various tactics so that their employees can
have a variety of chances. This will help to keep the employee turnover rate low. Apart from that, there
are a variety of other factors to consider, such as a lack in adequate compensation for your employees,
limited chances for judgement in the firm, and a lack of investment in your employees, among others.
These are the primary causes of staff turnover, all of which have a significant influence on the
organisation. It is critical for businesses to evaluate job dissatisfaction in order to reduce staff turnover
and develop their skills (Narayanan, Rajithakumar and Menon, 2019).

all possible. Having a daycare on-site could also be a worthwhile investment. Apart from that, the
company is also designing and developing various strategies and actions in order to increase the workers'
skills and capacities through learning and development programmes (Jehanzeb and Mohanty, 2018).
Additionally, firms establish acceptable career pathways for employees so that they feel better important

Section Five: Research approach and methodologies
Research methodology
This procedure assists both the business and the researcher in achieving the investigation's aims and
outcomes in a timely way, as well as collecting data for analysis. There are various types of ideas and
methodologies that the investigator must be aware of in order to properly analyse the effective facts and

positivism and interpretivism. On the basis of the current research that will going to focusing on the
positive is my philosophy so that the investigator can select the appropriate data and become more
capable to grab the qualitative information in order to achieve their goals and objectives.

the investigator so that they can become capable to test hypothesis information and data that are off two
types which is Inductive as well as deductive. In the current investigation, The investigator were
focusing on the deductive approach so that they can become capable to test curious and hypothesis data
