INTRODUCTION
Employee retention refers to the various policies and practices which let the employees
stick to an organization for a longer period of time. Every organization invests time and money
to groom a new joinee, make him a corporate ready material and bring him at par with the
existing employees. The organization is completely at loss when the employees leave their job
once they are fully trained. Employee retention takes into account the various measures taken so
that an individual stays in an organization for the maximum period of time.
Most of the employees leave an organization out of frustration and constant friction with
their superiors or other team members. In some cases low salary, lack of growth prospects and
motivation compel an employee to look for a change. The management must try its level best to
retain those employees who are really important for the system and are known to be effective
contributors.
Employee Retention refers to the techniques employed by the management to help the
employees stay with the organization for a longer period of time. Employee retention strategies
go a long way in motivating the employees so that they stick to the organization for the
maximum time and contribute effectively. Sincere efforts must be taken to ensure growth and
learning for the employees in their current assignments and for them to enjoy their work.
Employee retention has become a major concern for corporates in the current scenario.
Individuals once being trained have a tendency to move to other organizations for better
prospects. Lucrative salary, comfortable timings, better ambience, growth prospects are some of
the factors which prompt an employee to look for a change. Whenever a talented employee
expresses his willingness to move on, it is the responsibility of the management and the human
resource team to intervene immediately and find out the exact reasons leading to the decision.

Need& Importance of Employee Retention
Let us understand why retaining a valuable employee is essential for an organization.
Hiring is not an easy process: The HR Professional shortlists few individuals from a large pool
of talent, conducts preliminary interviews and eventually forwards it to the respective line
managers who further grill them to judge whether they are fit for the organization or not.
Recruiting the right candidate is a time consuming process.
The employees working for a longer period of time are more familiar with the company’s
policies, guidelines and thus they adjust better: They perform better than individuals who
change jobs frequently. Employees who spend a considerable time in an organization know the
organization in and out and thus are in a position to contribute effectively.
It has been observed that individuals sticking to an organization for a longer span are
more loyal towards the management and the organization: They enjoy all kinds of benefits
from the organization and as a result are more attached to it. They hardly badmouth their
organization and always think in favour of the management. For them the organization comes
first and all other things later.
It is essential for the organization to retain the valuable employees showing
potential: Every organization needs hardworking and talented employees who can really come
out with something creative and different. No organization can survive if all the top performers
quit. It is essential for the organization to retain those employees who really work hard and are
indispensable for the system.
Let us go through some strategies to retain an individual:An employee looks for a change
when his job becomes monotonous and does not offer anything new. It is essential for everyone
to enjoy whatever he does.
The responsibilities must be delegated according to the individual’s specialization and
interests. It is the responsibility of the team leader to assign challenging work to his team
members for them to enjoy work and do not treat it as a burden. Performance reviews are
important to find out whether the employees are really happy with their work or not.
The human resource department must ensure that it is hiring the right candidate.
Frustration crops up whenever there is a mismatch. A finance professional if is hired for a

4 | P a g e
marketing profile would definitely end up being frustrated and look for a change. The right
candidate must be hired for the right profile. While recruiting a new candidate, one should also
check his track record. An individual who has changed his previous jobs frequently would also
not stick to the present one and thus should not be hired.
Employee recognition is one of the most important factors which go a long way in retaining
employees. Nothing works better than appreciating the employees. Their hard work must be
acknowledged. Monetary benefits such as incentives, perks, cash prize also motivate the
employees to a large extent and they prefer sticking to the organization. The performers must
have an upper edge and should get a special treatment from the management.
Performance appraisals are also important for an employee to stay motivated and avoid
looking for a change. The salary hike should be directly proportional to the hard work put by
the employees. Partiality must be avoided as it demotivates the talented ones and prompt them to
look for a better opportunity.
The salary of the employees must be discussed at the time of the interview. The components
of the salary must be transparent and thoroughly discussed with the individuals at the time of
joining to avoid confusions later. The individuals should be made to join only when the salary as
well as other terms and conditions are acceptable to them.

NEED FOR THE STUDY
The present study is about the different types of strategies followed in order to retain the
most valuable assets like human resources in Brandix Apparel India. Human resources are the
most important resources the nature has gifted to this world. With the change in time,
development of human resources has attracted the attention. Participation was in the view of
ever changing and increasing in the growth of industrialization.Rapid advances of modern
technology have brought in tremendous expansion of industries and economic growth. At the
same time the continuing toll of skilled personnel at work has been a challenging for all the
concerned.Efforts in this regard will have to match with the pace rapid industrialization. In this
connection the role of human resources has been quite significant and will continue to be so. The
causes of increasing churn out are:
 Poaching of employees
 High stress environment
 Burn out
Thus managing attrition is becoming important, not only because knowledge
professionals are the lifelines in a service oriented industry but also staffing costs are one of the
largest expenses regularly charged to the budget of a company in a Textile Industry. When one
counts salaries, benefits, bonus, training, and other personnel costs, company inverts a great deal
of resources in their employees.
Thus Attrition becomes a two-folded issue:
 Cost related
 Retaining much needed and often Experienced Talent
Questionnaires prepared with the intention to study the retention strategies followed in Brandix
Apparel India.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY
It is not about managing retention. It is about managing people. If an organization manages
people well, employee retention will take care of itself. Organizations should focus on managing
the work environment to make better use of the available human assets. People want to work for
an organization which provides
• Appreciation for the work done
• Ample opportunities to grow
• A friendly and cooperative environment
• A feeling that the organization is second home to the employee Organization
environment includes
• Culture
• Values
• Company reputation
• Quality of people in the organization
• Employee development and career growth
• Risk taking
• Leading technologies
• Trust
Types of environment the employee needs in an organization
• Learning environment: It includes continuous learning and improvement of the
individual, certifications and provision for higher studies, etc.
• Support environment: Organization can provide support in the form of work-life
balance. Work life balance includes:
 Flexible hours
 Telecommuting

8 | P a g e
 Dependent care
 Alternate work schedules
 Vacations
 Wellness
• Work environment: It includes efficient managers, supportive co-workers,
challenging work, involvement in decision-making, clarity of work and responsibilities, and
recognition. Lack or absence of such environment pushes employees to look for new
opportunities. The environment should be such that the employee feels connected to the
organization in every respect. Growth and Career Growth and development are the integral part
of every individual’s career. If an employee can not foresee his path of career development in his
current organization, there are chances that he’ll leave the organization as soon as he gets an
opportunity. The important factors in employee growth that an employee looks
for himself are:
• Work profile: The work profile on which the employee is workingshould be in sync with
his capabilities. The profile should not be too low or too high.
• Personal growth and dreams: Employees responsibilities in the organization should help
him achieve his personal goals also. Organizations can not keep aside the individual goals of
employees and foster organizations goals. Employees’ priority is to work for themselves and
later on comes the organization. If he’s not satisfied with his growth, he’ll not be able to
contribute in organization growth.
• Training and development: Employees should be trained and given chance to improve
and enhance their skills. Many employers fear that if the employees are well rained, they’ll leave
the organization for better jobs. Organization should not limit the resources on which
organization’s success depends. These trainings can be given toimprove many skills like:
 Communications skills
 Technical skills
 In-house processes and procedures improvement related skills or customer satisfaction
related skills
 Special project related skills

9 | P a g e
Need for such trainings can be recognized from individual performance reviews, individual
meetings, employee satisfaction surveys and by being in constant touch with the employees.
Importance of Relationship in Employee Retention Program Sometimes the relationship with the
management and the peers becomes the reason for an employee to leave the organization. The
management is sometimes not able to provide an employee a supportive work culture and
environment in terms of personal or
professional relationships. There are times when an employee starts feeling bitterness towards
the management or peers.
This bitterness could be due to many reasons. This decreases employee’s interest and he
becomes demotivated. It leads to less satisfaction and eventually attrition. A supportive work
culture helps grow employee professionally and boosts employee satisfaction. To enhance good
professional relationships at work, the management should keep the following points in mind.
Respect for the individual: Respect for the individual is the must in the organization.
• Relationship with the immediate manager: A manger plays the role of a mentor and
a coach. He designs and plans work for each employee. It is his duty to involve the employee in
the processes of the organization. So, an organization should hire managers who can make and
maintain good relations with their subordinates.
• Relationship with colleagues: Promote team work, not only among teams but in
different departments as well. This will induce competition as well as improve the Relationship
among colleagues.
• Recruit whole heartedly: An employee should be recruited if there is a proper place
and duties for him to perform. Otherwise he’ll feel useless and will be dissatisfied. Employees
should know what the organization expects from them and what their expectation from the
organization is. Deliver what is promised.
Promote an employee-based culture: The employee should know that the organization is there to
support him at the time of need. Show them that the organization cares and he’ll show the same
for the organization. An employee-based culture may include decision making authority,
availability of resources, open door policy, etc.

10 | P a g e
• Individual development: Taking proper care of employees includes acknowledgement
to the employee’s dreams and personal goals. Create opportunities for their career growth by
providing mentorship programs, certifications, educational courses, etc.
• Induce loyalty: Organizations should be loyal as well as they should promote loyalty
in the employees too. Try to make the current employees stay instead of recruiting new ones.
Support Lack of support from management can sometimes serve as a reason for employee
retention. Supervisor should support his subordinates in a way so that each one of them is a
success. Management should try to focus on its employees and support them not only in their
difficult times at work but also through the times of personal crisis. Management can support
employees by providing them recognition and appreciation. Employers can also provide
valuable feedback to employees and make them feel valued to the organization.
The feedback from supervisor helps the employee to feel more responsible, confident and
empowered. Top management can also support its employees in their personal crisis by
providing personal loans during emergencies, childcare services, employee assistance Programs,
consoling services, etc.
Employers can also support their employees by creating an environment of trust and inculcating
the organizational values into employees. Thus employers can support their employees in a
number of ways as follows:
• By providing feedback
• By giving recognition and rewards
• By counseling them
• By providing emotional support

 INDUSTRY PROFILE & COMPANY PROFILE

15 | P a g e
INDUSTRY PROFILE
Profile of Textile Industry:
Textile industry in India is the second largest employment generator after agriculture. It
holds significant status in India as it provides one of the most fundamental necessities of the
people. textile industry was one of the earliest industries to come into existence in India and it
accounts for more than 30% of the total exports. In fact India textile industry is the second
largest in the world, second only to china.

requirement of raw materials to the final products, with huge value –addition at every stage of
processing. textile industry in India has vast potential for creation of employment opportunities
in the agriculture, industrial, organized and decentralized sectors &rural and urban areas,
particularly for women and the disadvantage. Indian textile industry is constitute of the
following segments: ready -made garments, cotton textiles including handlooms, man-made
textiles, silk textiles, woolen textiles, handicrafts, coir, and jute.
Till the year 1985, development of textile sector in India took place in terms of general
policies. In 1985, for the first time the importance of textile sector was recognized and separate
policy statement was announced with regard to development of textile sector. In the year 200,
national textile policy was announced. its main objective was to provide cloth of acceptable
quality at reasonable prices for vast majority of the population of the country, to increasingly

and to compete with confidence for an increasing share of the global market. The policy also
aimed at achieving the target of textile and apparel exports of US $ 50 billion by 2010 of which
the share of garments will be US $ 25 billion.
STRENGTHS OF THE INDIAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY:
The strengths of the Indian Textile Industries are as follows:

16 | P a g e
 India has rich resources of raw materials of textile industry. It is one of the largest
producer of cotton in the world and is also rich in resources of fiber like polyester,
silk, viscose
 India is rich in highly trained manpower. The country has huge advantage due to
lower wage rates. Because of low labor rates the manufacturing cost in textile
automatically comes down to very reasonable rates

produced, quantity and quality of out -put, cost, requirement for fabric etc. It
comprises suppliers of ready –made garments for both, domestic or export markets.
WEAKNESSES OF INDIAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY:
 Indian Textile Industry is highly fragmented in industry structure, and is led by
small scale companies. The reservation of production for very small companies
across the country, led substantial fragmentation that distorted the
competitiveness of industry. Smaller companies do not have the fiscal recourses
to enhance technology or invest in the high –end engineering of processes. Hence
they lose in productivity.
 Indian labor laws are relatively unfavorable to the trades and there is an urgent
need for labor reforms in India.
 India seriously lacks in trade pact memberships, which leads to restricted access
to the major markets.
OUT LOOK FOR INDIAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY:

industry would continue to grow at an impressive rate. Textile industry is being modernized by
an exclusive scheme, which has set aside $5 billion for investment in improvisation of

CHAPTER - 3
 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

32 | P a g e
THEORETICAL FRAME WORK
Introduction:
Employee retention refers to the ability of an organization to retain its employees. Employee
retention can be represented by a simple statistic (for example, a retention rate of 80% usually
indicates that an organization kept 80% of its employees in a given period). However, many
consider employee retention as relating to the efforts by which employers attempt to retain the
employees in their workforce. In this sense, retention becomes the strategies rather than the
outcome.
A distinction should be drawn between low-performing employees and top performers, and
efforts to retain employees should be targeted at valuable, contributing employees. Employee
turnover is a symptom of deeper issues that have not been resolved, which may include low
employee morale, absence of a clear career path, lack of recognition, poor employee-manager
relationships or many other issues. A lack of job satisfaction and commitment to the
organization can also cause an employee to withdraw and begin looking for other opportunities.
Pay does not always play as large a role in inducing turnover as is typically believed.
In a business setting, the goal of employers is usually to decrease employee turnover, thereby
decreasing training costs, recruitment costs and loss of talent and organizational knowledge. By
implementing lessons learned from key organizational behavior concepts, employers can
improve retention rates and decrease the associated costs of high turnover. However, this isn't
always the case. Employers can seek "positive turnover" whereby they aim to maintain only
those employees whom they consider to be high performers.
It is important to first pinpoint the root cause of the retention issue before implementing a
program to address it. Once identified, a program can be tailored to meet the unique needs of the
organization. A variety of programs exist to help increase employee retention.
Career Development: It is important for employees to understand their career path within an
organization to motivate them to remain in the organization to achieve their personal career
goals. Through surveys, discussion and classroom instruction, employees can better understand
their goals for personal development. With these developmental goals in mind, organizations can
and should offer tailored career development opportunities to their employees.

33 | P a g e
Executive Coaching: Executive coaching can be used to build competencies in leaders within
an organization. Coaching can be useful in times of organizational change, to increase a leader's
effectiveness or to encourage managers to implement coaching techniques with peers and direct
reports. The coaching process begins with an assessment of the individual's strengths and
opportunities for improvement. The issues are then prioritized and interventions are delivered to
target key weaknesses.
Motivating Across Generations: Today's workforce includes a diverse population of
employees from multiple generations. As each generation holds different expectations for the
workplace, it is important to understand the differences between these generations regarding
motivation and engagement. Managers, especially, must understand how to handle the
differences among their direct reports.
Orientation and Onboarding: An employee's perception of an organization takes shape during
the first several days on the job and continues throughout their first six months, with 90% of
employees still deciding whether or not to stay at the organization during this time. It is in the
best interest of both the employee and the organization to impart knowledge about the company
quickly and effectively to integrate the new employee into the workforce. In addition, providing
continual reinforced learning through extended onboarding over the first year can increase new
hire retention by 25%. By implementing an effective onboarding process, new hire turnover
rates will decrease and productivity will increase.
Women's Retention Programs: Programs such as mentoring, leadership development and
networking that are geared specifically toward women can help retain top talent and decrease
turnover costs. By implementing programs to improve work/life balance, employees can be
more engaged and productive while at work.

34 | P a g e
The challenge is not only to attract the best talent but also to retain them.
 Rising opportunities for carrier development.
 lifestyle decisions.
 job changing.
 unbalanced work life
Which influence an individual's decision to continue or to quit.
Employee Retention:
“Employee retention is a process in which the employees are encouraged to remain with the
organization for the maximum period of time or until the completion of the project”.
Employee Retention will benefit an organization:
 The Cost of Turnover.
 Loss of Company Knowledge.
 Interruption of Customer Service.
 Turnover leads to more turnovers.
 Goodwill of the company.
 Regaining efficiency.
What Makes Employee Leave?
 Job is not what the employee expected to be.
 Job and person mismatch.
 No growth opportunities.
 Lack of appreciation.
 Lack of trust and support in coworkers, seniors and management.
 Stress from overwork and work life imbalance.
 Compensation.
Need& Importance of Employee Retention:

35 | P a g e
• Hiring is not an easy process
• An organization invests time and money in grooming an individual and make him ready to
work and understand the corporate culture.
• When an individual resigns from his present organization, it is more likely that he would join
the competitors
• The employees working for a longer period of time are more familiar with the company’s
policies, guidelines and thus they adjust better
• It has been observed that individuals sticking to an organization for a longer span are more
loyal towards the management and the organization.
Employee Retention Strategies:
 Hire the right people in the first place.
 Empower the employees: Give the employees the authority to get things done.
 Make employees realize that they are the most valuable asset of the organization.
 Have faith in them, trust them and respect them.
 Provide them information and knowledge.
 Keep providing them feedback on their performance.
 Recognize and appreciate their achievements.
 Keep their morale high.
 Create an environment where the employees want to work and have fun
 The company’s rules and regulations should be made to benefit the employees.
 Performance appraisals are also important for an employee to stay motivated and avoid
looking for a change.
 Employee recognition is one of the most important factors which go a long way in
retaining employees
 The responsibilities must be delegated according to the individual’s specialization and
interests.

36 | P a g e
Role of HR in Employee Retention:
 Whenever an employee resigns from his current assignments, it is the responsibility of
the HR to intervene immediately to find out the reasons which prompted the employee to
resign
 It is the duty of the HR to sit with the employee and discuss the various issues face to
face. Try to provide a solution to his problem
 The HR person must ensure that he is recruiting the right employee who actually fits into
the role
 The human resource department must conduct motivational activities at the workplace.
 The HR must launch various incentive schemes for the top performers to motivate them
 Performance reviews are a must. The HR along with the respective team leaders must
monitor their team member’s performance to ensure whether they are enjoying the work
or not.
Role of Team Leaders and Supervisors in Employee Retention:
 The team members must be assigned responsibilities as per their specialization,
qualification, interests as well as experience.
 An overburdened worker never finds his job interesting and would always be eager for a
change.
 Rules and regulations should be same for everyone.
 One should never fear his boss. Hitler approach does not work in the current scenario.
 The team leader should be accessible to his team members.
 The superiors must maintain transparency in communication.
 The team leader must appreciate those who perform well.
Challenges in Employee Retention:
 Monetary dissatisfaction is one of the major reasons for an employee to look for a
change.
 In the current scenario, where there is no dearth of opportunities, stopping people to look
for a change is a big challenge.
 Individuals speak all kind of lies during interviews to get a job.

37 | P a g e
 Some individuals have a tendency to get bored in a short span of time.
 Unrealistic expectations from the job also lead to employees looking for a change.
Qualities in an Organization for a BetterEmployee Retention:
 Monetary satisfaction is one of the major reasons as to why an employee sticks to an
organization for a longer duration.
 An organization must have a simple hierarchy and the functional areas of each team
should be well defined.
 Freedom of expression is of utmost importance at the workplace to retain employees.
 The organization must encourage employees to celebrate major festivals at the office
premises itself.
 An organization must offer a positive ambience to its employees to expect a consistent
performance from them.
After Effects of a Poor Employee Retention:
 Employees who spend a considerable amount of time in any organization know it in and
out and thus can perform better. Loss of good resource.
 Loss of trade secrets to its competitors.
 Continual exit of key workers cause can cause domino effect among employees.

saying they are getting the jobs with lower qualification and their higher qualifications
are not considered while giving the job, this is the reason given by the employees who
are present at the early stages of the company. So the company must focus on the
qualification and experience linked recruitment process.
2. Training area is very much less focused in Brandix Apparel India. As there are number
of rejections from the customer side in quality prospective because in almost all the
departments there is no training provided to correct the employee’s mistakes that are
carried on by them while performing their work.
3. The employees should be informed during their interview process regarding the way that
they will get the promotions and increments so that so to avoid the conflicts among the
employees regarding the bonus or promotion related problems.
4. The salary of the employees is not able to satisfy their needs so there should be proper
care taken to reduce this problem.

so the heads should be trained regarding the language or the way they need to deal with
the Indian employees with proper communication.
6. In some departments the Managers or supervisors are treating the women employees in a
very strict manner so to avoid this problem the department management staff should be
trained in how they need to deal with the employees.
7. The HR- department should have more interaction with the employees so that the
employee’s problems can be easily understood and proper measures can be easily taken
into action. For this reason, the HR- department should spend more time with the
employees.
8. The rules and regulations regarding the Indiscipline should be displayed in all the
employee working places as well as in the canteen which can help in the reduction in the
number of warning letters. The way they need to behave while working in the working
places should be displayed.
9. The slogans on safety in every department it should be displayed so that the importance
of safety can be realized by the employees.

67 | P a g e
10. There should be regular meetings for the management staff for each department
regarding the problems what they are facing with the employees and what are the
improvements they need for their respective department should be discussed with the
