B. Anuradha, CS. Jayanthi Prasad, G. Chandana Reddy, T. Aditya Sai Srinivas

Abstract


Keeping talented employees is one of the biggest challenges companies face today. While salary matters, it’s not the only reason people stay. This study looks at what really drives employee retention, focusing on job satisfaction, career growth, and workplace culture. Using the Murugappa Group as a case study, it explores how HR strategies like training, performance appraisals, and flexible work policies help retain top talent. The findings show that when employees feel valued, supported, and have room to grow, they’re more likely to stay. A strong workplace culture and clear career paths make a big difference. By analyzing real employee experiences and industry trends, this research offers practical ways for companies to keep their best people engaged. Businesses that invest in their employees not only reduce turnover but also build a stronger, more committed workforce. Looking ahead, companies must adapt to new workforce expectations in an ever-changing job market.
