The Science of Retention: Psychological Strategies for Employee Engagement & Loyalty
Keep your best people—by understanding what truly drives them.

In an era of talent shortages, quiet quitting, and remote burnout, retaining high performers has never been more critical—or more complex. The Science of Retention dives deep into the psychology behind why employees stay, why they leave, and how to build a workplace that fosters lasting loyalty.

Blending classic theories of motivation with cutting-edge behavioral science, this book equips leaders and HR professionals with actionable strategies rooted in real psychology—not corporate buzzwords.

Inside, you’ll explore:

• Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, Maslow’s Hierarchy, and Self-Determination Theory—applied to modern workplaces

• The hidden cognitive biases and emotional triggers behind disengagement and turnover

• Science-backed frameworks for building intrinsic motivation and psychological safety

• How to measure engagement effectively—and intervene before it’s too late

• Real-world case studies from leading organizations that have cracked the retention code

Whether you're leading a team, running HR, or building organizational culture at scale, this book gives you the tools to stop the talent drain—and build a workplace where people choose to stay.

Retention isn’t about perks. It’s about psychology.
Master the science—and keep your top talent for the long haul.
