A Study on the Impact of Employee Engagement on Employee Retention at Thoughtwave Info Systems India Private Limited

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of employee engagement on employee retention at Thoughtwave Info Systems India Pvt. Ltd., Challapalli. Using structured questionnaires, data was collected from 120 employees to analyse how factors such as job satisfaction, workplace culture, career development opportunities, and work-life balance influence employees’ intentions to remain with the organization. The analysis employed correlation and regression techniques, revealing that career growth opportunities and a positive workplace culture are the most significant predictors of retention. While most employees reported high levels of motivation and satisfaction, some expressed concerns about career development and work-life balance, highlighting areas for improvement. The findings underscore the importance of targeted engagement strategies, such as structured recognition programs, expanded training and development initiatives, and better support for work-life balance, to enhance retention. The literature review and study results confirm that engaged employees are more likely to stay, reducing turnover costs and contributing to organizational stability and performance. The research concludes with practical recommendations for management to foster a supportive environment that promotes both engagement and retention, ensuring sustained organizational success in a competitive industry.
