A major challenge for an organization is to retain its valuable and talented employees. The management can control the problem of employees quitting the organization within no time to a great extent but cannot put a complete full stop to it. There are several challenges to it. Let us understand the challenges to the employee to find, attract, keep, develop, and tap the talented workforce.

Monetary dissatisfaction is one of the major reasons for an employee to look for a change. Every organization has a salary budget for every employee who can be raised to some extent but not beyond a certain limit. Retention becomes a problem when an employee quotes an exceptionally high figure beyond the budget of the organization and is just not willing to compromise. The organization needs to take care of the interests of the other employees as well and cannot afford to make them angry. The salaries of individuals working at the same level should be more or less similar to avoid major disputes amongst employees. A high potential employee is always the center of attention at every workplace but one should not take any undue advantage. One should understand the limitation of management and quote something which matches the budget of the organization. An individual should not be adamant on a definite figure, otherwise it becomes difficult for the organization to retain him. Remember there is a room for negotiation everywhere (Tanwar, 2008).

In the current scenario, where there is no dearth of opportunities, stopping people to look for a change is an enormous challenge. Every organization tries its level best to hire employees from competitors and thus provide lucrative opportunities to attract them. Employees become greedy for money and position and thus look forward to changing the present job and join the competitors. No amount of counseling helps in such cases and retaining employees becomes a nightmare (Sluis, 2009). Individuals speak all kind of lies during interviews to get a job. They might not be proficient in branding but would simply say a yes to impress the recruiter and grab the job. It is only later do people realize that there has been a mismatch and thus look for a change. Problems arise whenever a right person is into an inappropriate profile. An individual loses interest in work whenever he does something out of compulsion. The human resource department should be very careful while recruiting new employees. It is really important to get the reference check done for better reliability and avoid confusions later.

Some individuals have a tendency to get bored in a short span of time. They might find a job really interesting in the beginning ...
