    Hi Saraj,
    If you recruit top talent people to the organization in a different ways ,we need to think about retaining them with using workplace orientation, because it is designed to acclimate new hires to their new environment, provide them important details about the business and its culture, and assist them in adjusting to their job and duties. It often consists of an introduction to the company's history, mission, and values, a tour of the workplace,the rules and regulations, and instruction on workplace safety and job-specific duties. Additionally, a well-planned orientation may enhance employee satisfaction and lower turnover.
    Well done !!!

      Hi Kamal , Yes you correct.
      Talent must feel valued, respected, and worthwhile if you want to keep it. According to recent studies, workers search for other employment when they feel undervalued and underappreciated. They must believe that their contributions to the company are valued. But the criticism and adulation must be genuine.

    Your choice is one of the top priorities for a business, and recruiting and retention methods are crucial since preserving current workforce reduces the time and money spent on backfilling positions and hiring new personnel.

    Excellent work !

      You are right , Kosalee. Employees who are responsible for their actions and behaviors and arrive at work on time are valued by their employers. Additionally, employers are aware that trustworthy workers place a high value on their position, the standards of their work, and their level of performance.

    Yes Chrishan , In the past few years, there has been an increase in general wellness awareness. More and more firms have put programs in place to address the fact that supporting employees' well-being must go beyond providing medical care. Employee wellness initiatives can take many different forms, from a basic gym membership to comprehensive packages that address physical, mental, and financial wellness.

Employee engagement is defined as the degree to which employees are committed to their employer, passionate about their work and invested in the company’s success (Sridevi , 2010, p. 89) . WHY IS EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT IMPORTANT? Employee engagement reduces turnover If your employees don’t care about their work or your goals, they’re not going to stick around. Actively disengaged employees are  12 times more likely to quit  than their engaged colleagues. What’s worse, employee turnover creates a ripple effect. Your top performers know their worth and can easily get another job —  53% are confident  they’ll find a comparable position within six months.
