The Impact of Talent Retention as an Employee Motivator in the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods Industry

Abstract

The fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry is a highly competitive and progressive sector where companies must attract and retain the best skills to remain relevant and successful.In this ever-changing, modernizing world, organizations are compelled to keep up with trends on how to manage employees, motivate, and retain them.This study aimed to investigate the extent to which talent retention strategies can be contributory factors to employee motivation, which positively influences the employee's intention to stay with the organization.This study explored various talent retention strategies and tested their impact on employee motivation, using a series of analytical tests.An exploratory approach was used with a non-probability sampling design, specifically judgmental sampling, as respondents chosen for this study were based on specific characteristics.Since the research design of this study is quantitative, a structured questionnaire was sent to 130 respondents, of which 124 respondents completed the questionnaire.The results showed that there were gender inequalities in the workplace.Furthermore, employee participation influenced employee motivation.Compensation and benefits, training and development, and work-life balance did not have an influence on employee motivation, amongst other interesting findings.These findings are relevant to the FMCG industry and contribute to the existing framework of knowledge.
