Employee retention has emerged as a critical challenge for organizations in today’s competitive business environment. This study, “Strengthening Employee Retention through Learning and Development,” explores the role of structured learning and development (L&D) initiatives in enhancing employee commitment, satisfaction, and long-term engagement. The research emphasizes how continuous skill enhancement, career growth opportunities, and personalized training programs contribute to reducing turnover intentions. By integrating both qualitative and quantitative data, the study identifies key factors linking L&D practices-such as mentoring, upskilling, and leadership development-to improved organizational loyalty and performance. The findings reveal that when employees perceive genuine investment in their professional growth, their motivation, productivity, and organizational attachment significantly increase. Ultimately, this study highlights that fostering a culture of continuous learning not only strengthens employee capabilities but also serves as a strategic tool for sustainable retention and overall business success.
