Retention of employees

Definition: employee retention

Employee retention describes the measures that companies take to retain their employees in the company over the long term and to promote their commitment and loyalty. These strategies aim to create a positive work environment and give employees a reason to identify with the company and stick to it.

Significance and statistics

Employee retention is a critical success factor for companies, as high turnover not only leads to high recruitment and training costs, but can also affect the working environment and productivity. According to a Gallup study, a company with a high level of employee retention can achieve up to 21% higher profitability. At the same time, the risk of top talent leaving the company is drastically reduced.

Causes and examples

Factors that contribute to employee retention include fair compensation, development opportunities, a positive work environment and the reconciliation of work and private life. Companies that proactively shape these areas increase employee satisfaction. One example of successful employee retention is Google, which has become one of the most attractive employers worldwide thanks to flexible working hours, comprehensive training opportunities and a supportive work environment.
