Introduction
Employee retention refers to the ability of a
business organization to retain its valuable
employees. Employee turnover refers to the rate
at which an employee of a business organization
is replaced by a new one. The effectiveness of
the organization hugely depends on the
organization's ability to reduce the rate of
employee turnover and improve its retention
(Cloutier et al. 2015). For the purpose of
predicting and managing these aspects, the
Human Resource Management System of an
organization may utilize certain HR metrics and
data sources. Furthermore the rate of employee
retention and turnover is dependent on various
factors as discussed below.
Employee Satisfaction
Employee Indication
• Employee
satisfaction helps in
the indication of
their rate of
productive and
performance quality.
Employee Turnover
• High employee
satisfaction leads to
the reduction of
employee turnover
rate in an
organization and
vice versa.
Employee retention
• High employee
satisfaction leads to
the improvement of
the rate of employee
retention in a
business
organization and
vice versa.
Organizational Culture
HR Metrics and Data
The importance of HR metrics and data is
identified in its ability to predict and indicate the
rate of employee turnover and retention. Such
data thereby provides the company with an
estimate of the potential of its workforce and the
efficiency of business operations (Aruna and
Anitha 2015). The collection and interpretation of
this data fall under the purview of the Human
Resource Management system of the business
organizations.

The rate of employee satisfaction is dependent on
the various benefits and facilities that are
provided to the employees by the organization.
Furthermore, it s also dependent on the
adherence and compliance of the organization
with the interests of the employees (Edwards and
Edwards 2019). The impact of employee
satisfaction on turnover, retention and indication
are discussed as below.
The organizational culture present in the company
also determines the rate of employee retention
and turnover on the basis of the values and beliefs
that the company follows with respect to its
stakeholders. This also determines the
involvement and engagement of the employees in
business operations. A cooperative and positive
organizational culture would lead to the reduction
in the rate of employee turnover and an increase
in the rate of employee retention (Inabinett and
Ballaro 2014). Furthermore, a positive organization
culture would also lead to the improvement of the
productivity and performance of the employees
working individually as well as in teams, thereby
helping in the building of a positive community
within the scope of the organization.
Certain theories can be used for the purpose of
improving the rate of employee retention and
reducing the rate of employee turnover. These
theories include the Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs,
Equity Theory and the theory of Compliance.
