Abstract: This paper explores the relationship between compensation and employee retention, focusing on the role of competitive pay in reducing turnover and fostering long-term organizational stability. Drawing on empirical research and organizational behavior theories, the paper argues that higher compensation not only reduces turnover but also minimizes the disruptive effects of frequent staff changes. Through a regression analysis of compensation and employee turnover across various industries, this study demonstrates that companies investing in competitive pay packages experience reduced employee churn, thereby benefiting from improved organizational performance and long-term growth. The results suggest that compensation is not only a financial tool but also a strategic asset that strengthens workforce commitment and enhances long-term organizational resilience.
