    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    Retention management was ranked first by HR professionals as the most challenging,

    among the various workforce management processes that they are charged with. A

    majority of the respondents (65%) consider this to be an area of shared accountability with

    other functional heads.

    It appeared that for every level in the organization, there were different sets of reasons for

    retention most often requiring strategies for retention. Our study findings establish very

    clearly that one-size-fits-all strategies are not likely to work and organizations need to

    address retention at different levels through different interventions. These findings support

    the literature, which suggests that individuals seek different rewards from the job and the

    organization, as they gather experience and grow in their jobs and careers. The challenge

    for most organizations was to identify the causal factors leading to retention at various

    levels and evolve targeted retention strategies as quickly and efficiently as possible.

    The research suggests that the core reason people join organizations is different from those

    that compel them to leave.

    It is interesting to note that there is a disconnect between the reasons for retention and the

    push factors identified by the respondents in our research. As an example, compensation

    does not figure in the reasons for retention for the junior and middle level managers, yet

    features prominently in the list of push factors for both levels (with the reverse being true

    for the senior level managers). It would seem that the reasons for retention are based on

    the respondents actual learning from exit interviews with those who have left the ir

    companies. This is in line with what is reported by global literature on retention.

    On the other hand, the push factors seem to be reported based on what is generally

    believed by executives, to be the reasons people leave companies, not surprisingly,

    compensation features prominently..

    A look at the retention strategies from an overall perspective indicate that HR professionals

    believe that it is through providing people opportunity to grow and develop that you can

    retain talent. It is also noticed that employee engagement is a leading retention strategy

    employed in India. Our data provides ample evidence that work culture, supervisors

    management style and profile of people in the company are, clearly, key factors that should

    be paid attention to. It is clear that compensation alone is not going to achieve the goal of

    retention.

    INTRODUCTION

    Employee Retention

    This entails understanding just a little history. The term employee retention first began to

    appear with regularity on the business scene in the 1970s and early 80s. Until then, during

    the early and mid-1900s, the essence of the relationship between employer and employee

    had been (by and large) a statement of the status quo: You come work for me, do a good

    job, and, so long as economic conditions allow, I will continue to employ you. It was not

    unusual for people who entered the job market as late as the 1950s and 60s to remain with

    one employer for a very long timesometimes for the duration of their working life. If

    they changed jobs, it was usually a major career and life decision, and someone who made

    many and frequent job changes was seen as somewhat out of the ordinary. As a natural

    result of this status quo employer-employee relationship, an employee leaving his or her

    job voluntarily was seen as an aberration, something that shouldnt really have happened.

    After all, the essence of status quo is just that little or nothing should change in the

    relationshipand leaving was a pretty big change!

    What is Employee Retention?

    Effective employee retention is a systematic effort by employers to create and foster an

    environment that encourages current employees.

    Employee retention matters as organizational issues such as training time and investment;

    lost knowledge; insecure employees and a costly candidate search are

    involved. Hence fa i l ing to re ta in a key employee i s a cos t ly proposi t ion

    for an organization. Various estimates suggest that losing a middle

    manager in most organizations costs up to five times of his salary. Intelligent

    employers always realize the importance of retaining the best talent. Retaining talent has

    never been so important in the Indian scenario; however, things have changed in recent

    years. In prominent Indian metros at least, there is no dearth of opportunities for th e b e s t

    i n t h e b u s i n e s s , o r e v e n f o r t h e s e c o n d o r t h e t h i r d b e s t . R e t e n t i o n o f

    k e y employees and treating attrition troubles has never been so important to companies

    In an intensely competitive environment, where HR managers are poaching

    e e s t i g h t o r l o s e t h e m t o competition. For gone are the days, when employees

    would stick to an employer for years for want of a better choice. Now, opportunities

    abound. It is a fact that, retention of key employees is critical to the long-term health and

    successor any organization. The performance of employees is often linked

    di rec t ly to qual i ty work, cus tomer sa t i s fac t ion, and increased product

    for any organization. Various estimates suggest that losing a middle manager in

    most organizations, translates to a loss of up to five times his salary. This might be worse

    for BPO companies where fresh talent is intensively trained and inducted and then further

    groomed to the successive stages. In this scenario, the loss of a middle manager can often

    prove dear.

    The Importance of Retaining Employees

    The challenge of keeping employees:

    1. Its changing face has stumped managers and business owners alike.

    2. How do you manage this challenge?

    3. How do youbuild a workplace that employees want to remain with and

    outsiders want to be hired into? Successful managers and business owners

    ask themselves these and other questions becausesimply putemployee

    retention.

    Matters

    High turnover often leaves customers and employees in the lurch; departing employees

    take a great deal of knowledge with them. This lack of continuity makes it hard to meet

    yourorganizations goals and serve customers well.

    Replacing employees costs money. The cost ofreplacing an employee is estimated at up

    to twice the individuals annual salary (or higher forsome positions, such as middle

    management), and this doesnt even include the cost of lost knowledge.

    Recruiting employees consumes a great deal of time and effort, much of it futile. Youre

    not the only one out there vying for qualified employees, and job searchers make decisions

    based on more than the sum of salary and benefits.

    Bringing employees up to speed takes even more time. And when youre short-staffed, you

    often need to put in extra time to get the work done.

    The Three Rs of Employee Retention

    To keep employees and keep satisfaction high, you need to implement each of the three Rs

    of employee retention: respect, recognition, and reward.

    Respect

    Is esteem, special regard, or particular consideration given to people? As the pyramid

    shows, respect is the foundation of keeping your employees. Recognition and rewards will

    have little effect if you dont respect employee.

    Recognition

    Is defined as special notice or attention and the act of perceiving clearly. Many

    problems with retention and morale occur because management is not paying attention to

    peoples needs and reactions.

    Rewards

    Are the extra perks you offer beyond the basics of respect and recognition that make it

    worth peoples while to work hard, to care, to go beyond the call of duty. While rewards

    represent the smallest portion of the retention equation, they are still an important one

    a. Increased productivity

    b. Reduced absenteeism

    c. A more pleasant work environment (for both employees and you)

    d. Improved profits

    Furthermore, an employer who implements the three Rs will create a hard-to leave

    workplace, one known as having more to offer employees than other employers. You

    become a hard-to-leave workplaceone with a waiting list of applicants for any position

    that becomes availablepurposefully, one day at time.

    The first step to improving your employee retention is to understand why employees

    staywi th th e i r cu r r en t emplo yer . Many "exper t s " dwel l on the r easons

    employees leave, which is not as important or revealing as the reasons they

    stay. Companies have tried many different programs and perks to hold onto good

    employees. However, studies show that these efforts are not enough to retain

    good employees when the support that is needed to achieve job success is not

    adequate.

    KeysEmployee Retention Wheel

    Is truly what gives emplo yees a consistent reason for saying "no thank you"

    when tempted with a "sweeter offer?" After years of study and experience, Key

    has determined, and presented in the Retention Wheel, what factors do have the

    greatest impact on keeping employees.KEi has used this information to give

    employers the tools to meet the core needs that keep employees successful at

    their jobs, thus reducing the high costs associated with unwanted employee

    turnover.

    Visionandmission

    An organisations aspirations and strategies for the future

    The vision describes the main purpose of an organisation; its reason to exist. As a long

    term view of where the organisation is aiming, a vision should be both aspirational and

    achievable.

    This part of our model illustrates the influences on an organisation, the environment in

    which it operates and the factors which support and steer the fulfilment of their vision.

    A mission summarises where the organisation is going over a given period as it moves

    towards achieving its vision. The mission must be practical and realistic, and have the

    support of all employees and other relevant stakeholders.

    Strategies are achievable and accountable plans to reach the objectives of the mission. The

    strategies should also be in keeping the organisations values and culture the way things

    are done around here.

    External factors

    Economic environment

    This is the state of the economy in any country where the organisation operates,

    including; where it is based; countries into which it sells; countries from which it

    sources products and services.

    Issues such as inflation, interest rates, employment, and economic growth or

    decline all affect the success of an organisation. The organisation needs to be

    steered through the ups and downs of the economic cycle.

    Technological advancements

    Technological developments can give organisations a competitive advantage.

    Recent changes in internet and ebusiness technology have made a dramatic impact

    on many businesses. Developments in technology also enable more efficient

    processes, faster research and development and improved sharing and use of data.

    These are all illustrations of why successful organisations should keep abreast of

    emerging technologies.

    Social environment

    Organisations are increasingly recognising that they have a requirement to

    demonstrate to their stakeholders that not only have they effectively managed

    finances

    RETENTION STRATEGIES USED IN ICICI , HDFC AND

    STANDARD CHARTERED BANK

    SCB BANK

    SCB using Employee Retention Strategies

    According to the bank focuses on the performance of the internal people who can quicken

    their self-development and fit with their leadership roles in the changed environment

    because leadership development is needed for sustainability, growth of the business and a

    satisfied employee. Because of the rapid growth of multinational companies, building their

    internal talent pipelines is essential. In-house training and development is the most

    important of successful organization (Gareth Waiters cited by E.learning age, 2009).

    Therefore, leadership development is a good method of the bank by focusing on their

    employees that benefit both direct and indirect to organization which provide opportunities

    for existing employees and retaining valuable employees. There are some other benefits

    from the leadership development program to the appropriate performers:

    Encourage employee morale: It is the most apparent benefit with the most difficult

    measurement. Poor managers can make their team distressed, and the troubled team would

    not do their jobs well. Effective managers are important to lead their team and prevent the

    impact on the work environment.

    Less employee turnover: Leadership development program is also a retention program that

    attracts talent employees motivated by showing them the respect and career path and

    developing them the higher needed skills. Employee turnover impacts directly to the costs

    of recruitment and training new employees. Its better to give the talent employees rewards

    to keep them.

    More productivity: Talent managers are able to lead their team with the minimize barrier.

    Any error might be reduced while the productivity tends to increase because of the

    effective elements of the program that help managers to be the talent and accomplish the

    organizations goal.

    Better vision: When managers are well-bonded with their team, they can see any problem

    affecting them better. The problems tend to solve easier and keeps the group vision away

    from the blind side of the problems. If the managers walk with their team, the tangible goal

    set tends to be built for the team achievement.

    Best supporter: effective managers are best supporters that make their team comfortable

    enough to share new ideas, and letting them to create and discuss any ideas in positive.

    Being good helpers of their team creating new ideas can help organization moving forward

    dynamically

    To get the managers with their best skills which is the way of leadership development,

    Standard Chartered introduces a structured interview process which would help them to

    create profiles to improve their self-awareness, coaching and self-help tools. The structured

    interview process has shown a high reliability and validity. Some strong points of this

    interview are employees are asked the same questions and rated in the same scale of

    evaluation. With the same standard of interview process, its easier for managers to

    evaluate their teams performance without any arguments of their team about the bias

    answers and unfair process.

    Standard Chartered is like the other multinational enterprises that facing the situation of

    skill people shortage in the emerging markets. Instead of hiring external candidates which

    cost expensively and risk losing the internal talents who work hard for the organization but

    nobody sees them as valuable assets. Talent Management is an effective strategy that is

    introduced as core strategic objectives to serve the critical positions of the organization.

    HR practices in performance management are used to advice managers how they support

    their talents and plan for the future needs of talents, and develop themselves becoming the

    talent as well. The global standards and tools are launched to solve the distance trouble

    between managers and their local talents; it is the Country Conversations, the appraisal

    process that use the booklet as the source of action so that there are no problems what kind

    of managers personalities is. The bias would be reduced obviously. This approach strategy

    shows that HRs role is not the main leader but advisor for the managers to manage their

    talents. And with the Human Capacity Scorecard that is developed becoming the extensive

    database keeping employees and businesses performance. It is an essential measurement

    to classify employees performance with other factors effecting toward theirperformance.

    This scorecard can be used in various purposes such as acquisition, development and

    retention. Standard Chartered Bank decides to focus on the people strengths instead of the

    old HR model for serving the urgently case of the lack of talent in the emerging markets.

    However, in the long run, the HR competency model would be more effective and

    standard. Moreover, it is necessary for the sustainably business success. Another

    interesting tool that is used in this case is a structured interview process which helps

    managers themselves in their leadership development and also their team performance

    improvement. Standard Chartered emphasizes the internal pipeline of people which would

    benefit to employees who try to be the talents and the organization which get the talent

    with loyalty. Performance management is not about the appraising and rating performance

    but it involves training and development, rewarding and planning for the future

    organizational capacity. In the business market, there is no the best strategy for all of the

    organizations all the time. The business environment could always change. The best way is

    to choose the strategies that would be optimal for the organization at that time like

    Standard Chartered that choose the strategies for today situation to solve the talent

    HDFC BANK

    HDFC Bank using Customer Retention Strategies

    With bad economy, HDFC Bank has come out with well tailored customer retention

    strategies. Though not known to be as aggressive as ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank has now

    started to focus more on existing customers. This is done more in order to prevent existing

    customers from switching accounts. Last morning I got a call from a lady who told me that

    she has been assigned to my account based on the balance I maintain. So for my account

    1) All charges has been waived off

    2) Services like locker, de-mat etc would now be charged at 50%. Would let me know in

    case it can be waived off completely

    3) The charges on my debit card have been taken off.

    4) Gave her number to contact regarding any service

    This happened not only for my high balance account but all 4 accounts which my wife,

    brother and father maintain. I was particularly moved by the way they waived off all

    charges and converted my account to a classic account. While they have little relationship

    with HDFC but they were much ready to discuss the home loan stuff and wanted to help on

    that front too.

    I see this more as a welcome move at the time when finance markets has to get down to the

    basics i.e. look after their existing customers. I am sure others would now follow suit and

    ultimate beneficiary would be the customer.

    ICICI BANK

    ICICI BANK USING CUSTOMER RETENTION STRATERGY

    The aim of this research is to analyze the impact of several customer satisfaction-relevant

    constructs that influence customers decision to stay or leave their bank. These constructs

    were rated by customers as having strong effects on loyalty on their banks. An effort will

    also be made to ascertain the views of those who are using the service of ICICI Bank, and

    afterward give some recommendation how to increase the customer satisfaction and market

    share through better customer service.

    The banking industry is highly competitive, with banks not only competing among each

    other; but also with non-banks and other financial institutions. Most bank product

    developments are easy to duplicate and when bank provide nearly identical services, they

    can only distinguish themselves on the basis of price and quality.

    The competition gave the customer bargaining power and switching power to choose the

    product and service. To retain the customer and satisfy the customer is the major issue for

    the organization to become cost leadership and to become product/ service differentiation.

    To maintain the service quality in the cost conscious market is the challenge to the

    organization. The organization use various driver of the customer satisfaction to retain the

    customers, such as service quality, customer value and customer loyalty.

    In the retail banking industry the service quality is the main criteria to enhance the

    business.

    Heskett at al., (1997) said that the high quality of service believed to be influenced by

    customer value and customer satisfaction, again the customer satisfaction directly

    influence the customer loyalty.

  • 7/28/2019 Employee Retention FINALproject22222222

    30/65

    30

    Day (1990) said that in order to become cost leadership and product/service differentiation

    it is required to create superior customer value. The customer were satisfied when they feel

    they were getting more out of what they paid in, therefore it is important for the banking

    industry to meet the expectation of the

    customers. Higher the perceived benefit, higher the customer value and result in high

    satisfaction and loyalty.

    Customer Value:

    A firm which gives value to its customers receives the customer satisfaction as an out

    come. Day (1990) advocated that in todays competitive environment, creating superior

    customer value is most important for companys performance. The concentration of the

    firm on the customer values leads to increase the profit as well as market value. Porter

    (1980) said that a company can adopt two market strategies (1) cost leadership and, (2)

    product differentiation. But Day (1990) argued that both the strategies have same objective

    to create superior customer value. Without the superior customer value the achieving of

    market leadership is in vain. Again Khalifa (2004) said that the concept of customer value

    is used not only in different fields such as finance, economics, management, information

    system, justice, ethics, etc., but including relationship marketing, customer behavior,

    pricing and strategy. The consumer value signifies how the customers recognize product or

    services, not what the firm wants to deliver to its customers. Customer value is linked to

    use of a product or services. Woodruff (1997) said that the customer value is related to the

    trade off between what the customer pays in exchange for acquiring and using a product or

    services from seller and what the customer viewed what he/she received.

    Development of BSC begins with determining orupdating the companys over-all strategy

    or vision and mission (reflecting the values of the company). Understandably, it is

    advisable to clarify the organizations future direction right from the start. In this phase, it

    is important to consult with top management, rather than line managers, to obtain a clear

    picture of where the company wants to be in, say, three (3) to five (5) years. With the

    corporate strategy in place, one now has the guide in the derivation of three to five goals

    relative to the four or more, depending on industry or corporate that applies it

    perspectives that are of customers, internal business, innovation or growth and learning,

    and the financial -- and the development of specific measures to support each goal.

    Subsequently, the BSC approach proceeds by associating with each objective series of

    measures and targets, and by identifying initiatives that relate to this objective. Finally,

    the BSC approach cascades objectives and measures down to business units, teams and

    even individuals.

    In short, the BSC approach requires articulation of vision and strategy, establishment of

    objectives that support the vision and strategy, and development of the relevant

    measurements that can tract progress toward the objectives. (While dispensable in relation

    to our purpose, let us still mention that the next steps are creating systems for relevant data

    collection and analysis, and matching of reward systems to objectives .

    LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

    However I shall try my best in collecting the relevant information for my research

    report,yet there are always some problems faced by the researcher. The prime

    difficulties which I face in collection of information are discussed below:-

    Data collected is based on questionnaire.

    The result would be varying according to the individuals as well as time.

    Some respondents hesitated to give the actual situation; they feared that

    management would take any action against them

    The findings and conclusions are based on knowledge and experience of the

    respondents sometime may subject to bias.

  • 7/28/2019 Employee Retention FINALproject22222222

    39/65

    39

    The time period for carrying out the research was short as a result of which many

    facts have been left unexplored.

    Lack of time and other resources as it was not possible to conduct survey at large

    level.

    Only 50 employees have been chosen which is a small number, to represent

    whole of the population

    While collection of the data many consumers were unwilling to fill the

    questionnaire. Respondents were having a feeling of wastage of time for them

    Area of study

    4. If your experience is more negative, than what factors do you hold responsible for that.

    Select all that apply.

    perceiving that they have lesser positive and more negative experience with their banks. As

    per our graph suggested that 23% of the employees have lesser compensation than there

    perceiving value which is why they are not experiencing good while working with this

    company. 12% of the employees suggested that there bank workers are not good so they

    have negative powerhouse in there thinking. 17% of the people suggested that their Boss

    is not cooperative and so they are not happy to working with there respected bank. These

    are the area where HR can work out and try to reduce this anxiety as much as possible.

    5. Rank the following reasons in the order of priority if you have to consider them for

    leaving the job

    Reason which is cause for leaving the job of any employees would be various but I try to

    organization, as per our study 13% of the employee accepted that the working condition is

    not good while 10% of them wanted to leave this organization because of the lower salary

    pay , 15% of the employees want to leave this organization for the family reasons although

    9% of the employees want to leave this company because of the better opportunity that will

    have in the other banks.

    It is very good point that banks like HDFC, ICICI and SCB can think off to reduce the

    causes factor which is possibly force employee to quit the organization.

    FINDINGS

    The Human Resource Dept. at of HDFC,ICICI and SCB is a perfect example of integration

    of HR and systems. I would ultimately conclude that the HR department has to be a link

    between the employees and the management. It also has the responsibility to bridge the gap

    between the various departments in the organization. HR needs to change its role from a

    facilitator to a strategic business partner.

    My involvement with the HR processes:

    I was involved with almost all the HR processes and so I gained knowledge regarding all

    the processes.

    Firstly I was involved with the joining formalities of a new recruit i.e. helping in

    the check in formalities.

    Secondly I was involved for completing the reference checks of around 20 new

    recruits who had joined recently.

    After this, I co-ordinated for the two training programs which were conducted

    during my training period.

    I was involved in doing an audit of the leaves taken by the employees through the

    leave management system.

    I was then taught to make the entries regarding tax exempted investments made by

    the employees into the SAP system for calculation of tax of all the employees.

    I was also made to understand the making of a Training Calendar for the year by

    amassing all the information regarding the training needs identified.

    39% of the employees joined for Growth and development opportunities as a career

    expectation.

    CONCLUSION

    Retention is an important concept that has been receiving considerable fromacademicians, researchers and practicing HR managers. In its essence,Retention comprises important elements such as the need or content, searchand choice of strategies, goal-directed behaviour, social comparison ofrewards reinforcement, and performance-satisfaction. The increasingattention paid towards Retention is justified because of several reasons.Motivated employees come out with new ways of doing jobs. They arequality oriented. They are more productive.

    Any technology needs motivated employees to adopt it successfully. Severalapproaches to Retention are available. Early theories are too simplistic intheir approach towards Retention. For example, advocates of scientific

    Management believe that money is the motivating factor. The Human

    Relations Movement posits that social contacts will motivate workers. Mere

    knowledge about the theories of Retention will not help manage their

    subordinates. They need to have certain techniques that help them change

    the behavior of employees. One such technique is reward. Reward,

    particularly money, is a motivator according to need-based and process

    theories of Retention. For the behavioral scientists, however, money is not

    important as a motivator. Whatever may be the arguments, it can be stated

    that money can influence some people in certain circumstance. Being an

    outgrowth ofHerzbergs, two factor theory of Retention, job enrichment is

    considered to be a powerful motivator. An enriched job has added

    responsibilities. The makes the job interesting and rewarding. Jobenlargement refers to adding a few more task elements horizontally. Task

    variety helps motivate job holders. Job rotation involves shifting an

    incumbent from one job to another
