Abstract

Employee retention strategies are becoming the most critical workforce management challenges in the dynamic business environments. Public Organizations in Nigeria are operating in highly competitive environment owing to today’s rapidly moving dynamic, uncertain and highly competitive global markets. This study aims to examine the impact of employee retention strategies on performance of Nigeria’s public sector. Secondary data obtained from relevant books, journals, websites resource were gathered and analyzed to accomplish this objective. Findings of the study establish the significance that employee retention strategies have on public sector performance in Nigeria. Moreover, the findings revealed the implication of labour turnover in the public sector and the strategies for its avoidance. In view of this, the paper argues that governments in Nigeria need to put in place, adequate employee retention policies that encourage and make employees feel valued. In addition, the conditions of services and other retention strategies in the public sector should be reviewed in line with the current economic situation of the country. These steps are necessary to achieve the much needed quality performance in the Nigeria’s public sector.
