Abstract
The importance human resources as the most important resources in an organization has been underscored
by many researchers and managers. Indeed any organization without human resources is nothing. Employees’ turnover
poses a recurrent challenge to most organizations globally and recent studies point to the fact that we no longer have
permanent job. Virtually, no organization is immune to turnover, whether small size or big size organizations, all of them
are exposed to employees’ turnover. For organizations to be able to achieve their objectives, they must be able to recruit
valuable employees from the job market, developing their competencies, motivating them to give their best and maintain
them within the organization. Acquiring and maintaining competent employees in the organization is of utmost
importance to all organizations. For an organization to be able to maintaining its employees, it should be able to provide
a conducive working environment so that employees’ commitment to the organization can be enhanced. Although it may
always not be feasible for any organization to fully eliminate employees’ turnover due to several factors, nevertheless it
could be minimized. Most of the prior studies mainly focused on causes of employees’ turnover without considering the
remedies. One major objectives of any Human Resource department in an organization is to retain all those employees
whose performance will lead to the realization of organizational goals while releasing those whose performance is
unsatisfactory. Every organization must therefore come to the realization that human resources are of great value to the
organization compared to other resources. Excellent management of human resources can be of great help to the
organization as this will lead to proper utilization of all the other resources in the organization. The duration that an
employee spends working in an organization has continued to fall substantially in the recent years. The reasons that make
employees leave their organizations have constituted an in interesting topic of research to organizations.
