From the questionnaire prepared, the authors find that employees leave or remains in their firms depending upon how policies and practices are been conducted in their workplaces. This also affects employee behavioural pattern, belief and expectations. The researchers have conducted a study based on employees’ reaction to find out whether there is any gap between policies and their expectations in which they found that few employees showed satisfaction while others remained unsatisfied due to discrepancy between beliefs and expectations. The major conflicts between employees and managers also showed a reason for the increasing challenge in holding back talented employees and thus authors suggest implementing efficient leadership style in banking sectors.

The research made by the author finds that the banking sector follows strict retention strategy programs so that quality workforce is retained and remains attracted. To overcome the challenges related to attraction and retention among workforce, financial organisations continuously focus on giving compensation and career benefit programs to their employees so that they do not plan to quit the organisation.
