paper explains that, in order for firms to survive in a global economy, they need to design effective

retention of high-performing employees, particularly among skilled employees. It shows how past research has linked various human resource management practices to
employee turnover. This paper assesses which HRM practices have the greatest impact on employee satisfaction and have the potential to reduce employee turnover.
