Hi Shruti,
The best way to retian the employees is family orientation. In addition to the pay packages you should also concentrate on welfare measures, employees should feel happy to work with you. Employee engagement is one among the same, take care of the employee needs, support them in the critical times ( be present over when some near relatives etc., passed away). Support them in getting seats in scholls and colleges by having a tie up with schools and colleges. visit he employees' residences, make the family members part of the organizational development.
Organize some family day type of get togethers, celebrate. Organize some competitions for employee spouses & children. The above may give you some good results.

Hi
The key to having a motivated work force is in ensuring that the work environment is appealing and pleasant. This means you have to work on the following broad themes
- make the work place a fun place to be in. eg. Right from ensuring that the work place is well lit up, the decor is pleasant and at the same time there is laughter and good cheer that energizes the environment, ensuring that friction if any is nipped in the bud, preferably have a theory Y style of leadership culture etc.
- ensure that there is professional work environment eg ensuring that there is proper systems, JD’s and KRA’s , the tools for work are easily available etc.
- while work remains the fulcrum of the office, there is a life beyond work that craves for attention. Make efforts to identify these and satisfy these needs eg. Know a little more about the personnel’s passions, interests and hobbies and where possible give them an opportunity to share these
- Every individual values his/ her individuality and self worth. Work on meeting these small necessities. Eg. Respect their right to have a different point of view, don’t make a mountain out of a mole hill when mistakes are made, give feedback in appropriate setting etc.
Despite all this there is a psychological tendency to equate bigger brands with better job profile, greater job security, more growth opportunities, more valued work experience etc. Obviously the challenge for you then, is to come up with innovative strategies to positively reinforce your employees thought process and mindset and convince them of the benefits of a long term association with your set up. The personal touch is the key but the risk is they should not perceive you as being too nosey or interfering in day to day work.
