Employee Retention and HRM Functions Indeed, there are multiple issues affecting organizations, such as employee retention, flexible work schedule, contingent workforce, among others. From these issues, I have selected employee retention and how it integrates with functional areas of HRM, mainly training and development and recruiting and selection. Management of employee retention entails the strategic actions and plans to ensure that employees are always motivated and focused on giving them a reason to continue being part of the employment and being productive to benefit the organization (Fahim, 2018). A detailed employee retention program plays a crucial role in attracting and retaining major employees and reducing the turnover cases and the associated expenses. These are essential to the productivity of any company and the general performance of an organization. It is appropriate to retain quality workers than recruit and train others of the same caliber. Employee retention integrates with training and development and recruiting and selection processes of HRM. Training and development and recruiting and selection processes are key aspects of HRM and employee retention. In particular, the selection and recruiting process is a major step for any company as it ensures that an organization employs talented professionals with substantive quality to add to the company’s success. An effective program of selecting and recruiting guarantees high levels of retention. Training and development increase performance and productivity, boost the employees' morale and work quality and reduce employee-related issues. Therefore, through an effective structure of selecting and recruiting employees and thereafter training and developing their activities, organizations stand a higher chance to retain talented and motivated workers who may wish to be part of the organization and focused on the general success of the firm.
