staff retention
Workforce staying put
Staff retention is an organization's ability to keep its employees over time rather than losing them to turnover.
It typically appears in business and HR contexts discussing workplace satisfaction, compensation, and career development: The company improved staff retention by offering flexible schedules.
High retention suggests workers want to stay; low retention signals problems worth diagnosing.
