Employee turnover pertains to the number of employees who opt to resign, leave, or quit their employment in the organization. The purpose of this study is to investigate and understand the multi-faceted reasons for employee turnover within the firm. The study is anchored by the theoretical support of the models on employee turnover by Holtom et al. (2006), where an employee has a lower probability of leaving an organization when he forms a strong emotional attachment to it and its environment. Data were collected through interviews with ten resigned employees from the firm, through observation, and obtaining arts-based data. The participants were selected through purposeful sampling. Data analysis was done following the Reflexive Thematic Analysis by Braun and Clarke (2006). The main core of the analysis of the reasons why employees leave the firm and other cores were (1) lifestyle, (2) experiences, (3) direct factors why they left the firm, (4) challenges, and (5) approaches recommended by the participants to attenuate the rate of employee turnover within the organization. The study concludes that having a healthy lifestyle, enhancing the overall working experience of the employees, careful evaluation and consideration of the factors shared by the participants why they left the firm, a healthy amount of balance between the challenges of employees at the workplace and their personal lives and well-being, and getting employee feedback and suggestions is essential to improving staff retention within the company.
