A Study on Human Resource Management Practices and its Impact on Employee Retention in Jindal Steel and Power Limited

Abstract

This study examines the human resource (HR) practices that promote employee retention. Effective HR practices can reduce employee turnover and increase retention within an organization. Key employees are the instrument for overall growth and development of an organization.  The most important HR practices are training and development, compensation and culture. A questionnaire was developed in this study with the help of literature to measure the identified HR practices and employee retention. Correlation and Regression analysis was performed to analyse the data. The results of multiple regressions revealed a significant impact of HR practices on employee retention. Compensation and culture has a positive  relationship with employee retention whereas training and development has a negative one. This study guides the management to devise the effective strategies to improve the employee retention.
