Abstract

In recent times, HR professionals have tried to identify the best employee strategy. This is because of the mass resignation witnessed globally, or the ‘Japa’ Syndrome, notably in Nigeria which has led to high staff attrition rate especially among tech talent to overseas locations. As a result, HR professionals have been inundated with constant hiring, re-hiring and identifying best practices to retain talent to avoid operational gaps and achieve the bottom-line.
