The study used a cross sectional survey research design that employed both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data was collected and analyzed using questionnaires and interview guides from the employees. From the study, it was concluded that there is a significant relationship between recruitment practices and employee retention, there is a significant relationship between staff development practices and employee retention. And that reward management practices have a significant relationship with employee retention within institutions of higher learning.
