Abstract
Employee retention has become an
increasingly recurring problem in many
organizations today; as a result, organizations
are working to design and put measures in
place to address this recurring problem.
Employee retention refers to the
organization's ability to retain its employees
over a specified period, particularly in the
context of a competitive job market where
skilled and talented individuals are in high
demand. It involves the strategies, practices,
and efforts put forth by an organization to
keep its workforce engaged, satisfied, and
committed to their roles within the company.
Employee retention is a critical aspect of
maintaining organizational stability,
productivity, and long-term success. Health
workers can be empowered to adopt and
utilize mobile health in contexts where it is
aligned to their needs, workload, training,
and skills. In turn, mobile health can
empower health workers with skills and
confidence when it is perceived as useful and
easy to use, in contexts that foster recognition
from clients, peers, or supervisors. Thus,
retention of long-term employees has the
opportunity to develop a deep understanding
of their roles, resulting in improved
performance and the ability to take on more
challenging tasks. Employee rewards refer to
the tangible and intangible benefits that
organizations provide to their employees in
recognition of their contributions, efforts, and
achievements in the workplace. Employee
rewards can take various forms,
encompassing both financial and nonfinancial elements, and they play a vital role
in attracting, retaining, and motivating a
talented workforce. Healthcare delivery has
been a major discussion in various forums
Worldwide. Healthcare is important to the
growth and development of Nations all over
the world, hence the dire need to develop and
maintain a well-trained and motivated
healthcare workforce in the world. The
objective of the study is to examine how
career development as a reward management
practice can influence the retention of
employees in referral hospitals. To achieve
the objective the research was supported by
Equity theory, Maslow’s needs hierarchy
theory and Human capital theory.
