The study will delve into factors influencing employee retention and evaluate the effectiveness of diverse strategies employed to retain software professionals. Specifically, the research will investigate the impact of organizational culture, work-life balance initiatives, career development opportunities, compensation packages, and employee engagement practices on employee retention. Through a comprehensive analysis, the study seeks to contribute valuable insights that can inform organizations in developing and enhancing their strategies to retain skilled software professionals in the competitive business environment.
