Workers are an organization's most precious resource and are frequently regarded as its lifeblood. The skill and productivity of an organization's employees have a significant impact on its success or failure. As a result, organizations place a high premium on keeping talented workers. High staff turnover can have a detrimental effect on output, the performance of the organization, and the need for more hiring. Addressing this issue requires creating a strong policy for staff retention. HR managers face a major issue in keeping talented workers in the competitive employment market of today when there are many opportunities. The retention of female employees, a crucial issue for many firms, is the special emphasis of this research. Work-life balance concerns, insufficient maternity leave policies, a lack of supportive work environments, physiological factors, and limited career growth chances are some of the particular difficulties that female employees face when it comes to retaining their jobs. Higher attrition rates among women are frequently the result of these difficulties, particularly during critical life periods like childbirth and caregiver obligations. The research examines the elements that affect the retention of female employees, assesses the obstacles they encounter, and identifies tactics for creating a welcoming and encouraging workplace culture. The results are intended to support gender diversity in the workforce and enhance retention tactics. This paper sheds light on the myriad factors that contribute to the high attrition of women faculty and also recommendations to retain them in the institutions.
