(2022) MGTN59 20221Department of Business Administration
- Abstract
- The focus of this study is to explore the relationship between learning and
development practices and early-stage employee retention within Capgemini’s Nordic
department and, more in general, within the consulting business. Qualitative and partly
quantitative research methods were employed, starting from a theoretical review of existing
knowledge on the matter, to a survey and interviews. Data were collected based on a
non-random sample of over four hundred participants from the company’s employees and
another non-random sample of ten early-stage employees participating in the one-on-one
interviews. Hence, this paper will aim to explore the relation between L&D and early-stage

employee retention and the reasons behind it which will be the topic of discussion throughout
the following Chapters. Moreover, all reflections will originate from a specific context (e.g.
Capgemini’s resources and learning conditions), whilst considering the limitations of this
study and suggesting a few points for further research. Lastly, as a result of the efforts made
towards providing a relevant answer to the paper’s Research Questions, we could argue that
there is a positive relation between L&D practices and early-stage employee retention, in that
employee training and development is indicated as one of the main reasons for employees to
stay in the organisation, given the significance of ensuring employees participation based on
their needs and aspirations. Factors such as motivation, career alignment, organisational
support and human relations, significantly contribute to L&D’s positive influence on
employee retention.
The following Chapters will discuss and illustrate the topic. (Less)
