Background of the Study: Employee retention is one of the key challenges facing organizations across various industries, especially in healthcare. In Jigawa State, where healthcare firms are grappling with challenges related to resource constraints, understaffing, and high turnover rates, effective employee retention strategies are essential for maintaining a stable workforce and ensuring consistent service delivery (Tukur & Lawal, 2024). Healthcare organizations depend on skilled and experienced personnel to provide quality care, and high turnover can negatively impact the quality of services provided to the public (Fola & Musa, 2023).
Employee retention strategies can include competitive compensation, career development programs, work-life balance initiatives, and fostering a positive organizational culture (Olaniyan & Akinbode, 2023). In Jigawa State, healthcare organizations are increasingly recognizing the importance of these strategies, as turnover rates in the sector are high, resulting in increased recruitment and training costs (Sani & Jibril, 2023). The implementation of effective retention strategies can have significant positive effects on employee morale, job satisfaction, and organizational performance, including improved patient outcomes, reduced operational costs, and enhanced organizational stability (Nwachukwu & Oyebade, 2024).
This study aims to critically analyze the employee retention strategies employed by healthcare firms in Jigawa State and assess their impact on organizational performance, particularly in terms of service delivery, employee engagement, and organizational efficiency.
Statement of the Problem: Healthcare firms in Jigawa State face significant challenges with employee turnover, which adversely affects organizational performance. High turnover rates lead to the loss of experienced and skilled professionals, resulting in poor service delivery, increased recruitment costs, and decreased organizational morale (Usman & Oloyede, 2023). While many healthcare firms in the state have implemented various retention strategies, the effectiveness of these strategies in improving organizational performance remains unclear. This study seeks to assess the impact of employee retention strategies on organizational performance in healthcare firms in Jigawa State.
Objectives of the Study:
1. To examine the employee retention strategies employed by healthcare firms in Jigawa State.
2. To assess the impact of employee retention strategies on organizational performance in healthcare firms.
3. To identify the challenges and opportunities related to employee retention in healthcare firms in Jigawa State.
Research Questions:
1. What employee retention strategies are employed by healthcare firms in Jigawa State?
2. How do employee retention strategies impact organizational performance in healthcare firms?
3. What challenges do healthcare firms in Jigawa State face in retaining employees?
Research Hypotheses:
1. Employee retention strategies do not significantly impact organizational performance in healthcare firms in Jigawa State.
2. There is no significant relationship between employee retention and service delivery in healthcare firms in Jigawa State.
3. Healthcare firms in Jigawa State face significant challenges in implementing effective employee retention strategies.
Scope and Limitations of the Study: The study will focus on healthcare firms operating in Jigawa State, Nigeria. It will examine the employee retention strategies employed by these firms and their effects on organizational performance. Limitations include the potential for response bias and challenges in obtaining accurate data on employee turnover rates and performance outcomes.
