retainability

Ability to keep

Retainability is the quality of being retainable—how well something can be kept, held, or maintained over time.

The term appears most often in technical contexts: telecommunications engineers measure call retainability (how reliably connections stay active), while educators discuss the retainability of information in learning design.

In business, employee retainability describes how easily an organization can keep its workforce.
