In addition to the financial loss the organization faces due to employee turnover, there is fading employee morale, transfer of knowledge to competitors, and negative impact on the reputation of the organization. The organizations’ have therefore to adopt suitable retention strategies to retain efficient employees. Responses were elicited from employers working in various organizations in Business service sector to explore the need to adopt retention strategies, identify the retention strategies implemented by them, and to discover the importance given to retention strategies. Suitable statistical techniques such as SPSS 20.0 and AMOS have been implemented to derive at reliable conclusion.
