especially amongst public sector organizations, is becoming a
problem which costs a lot of money, efforts and energy. This
problem might be a major obstacle for HR professionals in
formulation of their HR policies. This study aims to identify the
main turnover factors in some public sector regulatory
authorities and to suggest some employee retention strategies
within the Pakistani context. Data was collected by a
questionnaire distributed amongst 568 employees, developed
on the basis of extensive literature review. The importance of
having a retention strategy, which is based on a well
articulated human resources management system, was
stressed
