Abstract
Considers the reasons for a high turnover of staff in different industries before looking at the nature of commitment. Provides some areas where improvements can lead to enhanced employee commitment and briefly looks at these issues in turn, e.g. pay, benefits, flexible work options and career development and training. Concludes that policies to encourage commitment need to become inherent within the culture of the organization to be successful.
