ABSTRACT
This paper presents some of the existing institutional retention strategies and tries to point out their effect on employee turnover. The study intends to establish how recognition and rewards, induction programmes, the working environment and training and career management opportunities influence an institution's rate of employee turnover. It seeks to understand the different retention strategies that organizations employ and their effectiveness in reducing employee turnover rates.
The study will analyse the effects of some of the retention strategies on employee turnover at the Kenyan Courts - Mombasa Law Courts.
The researcher will apply descriptive research design to gather information from the respondents and use stratified random sampling to obtain the probability samples. Stratified random sampling was preferred as it will give a sample that will be a representative of the population. The study targets a sample of about 40 respondents from whom data will be collected using questionnaires.
The data collected will then be analysed and from the findings, establish the effect of the different retention strategies on employee turnover. The study will also seek to establish which of the retention strategies or a combination, when applied, is best placed at resulting into a higher retention rate of employees in institutions.
