The purpose of the study was to establish the challenges faced in employee retention at IAT. The research sought to: - establish how organization culture, Training, compensation, recruitment contribute to employee retention. The study results will be helpful to human resource managers in formulating effective employee retention techniques. The findings will be useful to the policy makers at the Ministry of Labour by providing an analysis on the factors that contribute to employee retention and propose possible policy interventions. The study will contribute to literature in the field of employee retention for reference by future researchers. Descriptive methodology was adopted with both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Stratified sampling technique was used to come up with seven homogeneous departmental strata while simple random sampling was applied to each stratum to come up with a sample size of 43. In collecting data, the study purposively selected seven managers one from each branch who were interviewed using an interview schedule and questionnaires self administered to the rest of the sample size. The study found that the organization experienced an average of 9 % employee loss annually. 55 % of respondents were between ages 28 to 37 years. The organization exercises a power culture that emphasizes human inequalities. 71 % of employees had attended training programs but only 45 % felt motivated after training. 51.6 % of respondents rated training programs as average. 69 % rated compensation scheme as below average while 60 % rated recruitment scheme as average. 72 % of employees who leave the organization are between the age of 28 and 37 years. The researcher recommends adoption of an open and friendly organizational culture to break the high “power distance”, implementation of a well planned Training program, a good succession plan and employee retention programs to deal with possible crisis situations, enforcement of guidelines and laws governing compensation of all job groups in both the public and private sectors by government, as well as fair and just recruitment programs.
