Abstract

The economies of many countries in the world have been characterised by exponential growth in the past few decades. The rapid and continuous growth has brought about numerous changes in the business world which have demanded a high level of management practices as organisations fight for the required resources. Amongst the resources being sought after is human capital, employees have become one of the major resources that an organisation would want to retain. The turnover of employees to other organisations results in decreased production and a spike in the costs, through continuous, recruitment and training.
