Employee Engagement: A Retention Tool

Abstract

In today's global market place where companies seek a competitive edge, a volatile economic climate, demands for constant change and the war for talent, organizations face significant challenges in their pursuit for business success. Today, employees seek short"term careers in different organizations with the expectation that they will commit for the short"term and move on from jobs that are not satisfying, or simply use experience gained in one role as a stepping stone to another job (Bates, 2004). Corporations want people to put in extra effort and generate innovative ideas to improve services and save money (Skapinker, 2005”). The present paper explores the relationship between   Employee Engagement and Retention.
