| dc.description.abstract | Human resources are the heart and mind of any organization. Although most of the
organizations are nowadays, found to be technology driven, it is the human resources who invent
and run the technology. The human resources are also the most dynamic resources of any
organization. With globalization thanks to technological breakthrough there is stiff competition
in the market and the only sure source of competitive advantage for the organization is the
quality of human resource that they engage. However, one of the biggest challenges that
organizations are facing today is not only attracting these resources but also maintaining and
retaining them. Securing and retaining skilled employees plays an important role for any
organization, because employees’ knowledge and skills are central to companies’ ability to be
economically competitive. Keeping into account the importance of employee retention to any
organization, the current study tries to review existing literature and research work on the role of
human resource management (HRM) practices on the retention of employees in organization
with special attention to role of work environment management practices and work-life balance
practices. The review has shown that these practices positively influence employees’ loyalty and
commitment hence retention to organizations. Work- life balance practices that enhance retention
have also been reviewed. Organizations should thus embrace them to enhance workers’
retention. | en_US |
