Exploring the Impact of Reward and Recognition on Expat Employee Retention

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between customised incentive and acknowledgment systems and the ability of multinational corporations to retain expatriate staff. The research employs both primary and secondary data gathering methods to analyse data from 250 expatriates. Secondary sources and a structured questionnaire are used to do this. The findings indicate a noteworthy and affirmative correlation (r = 0.65, p < 0.01) between the efficacious execution of reward and recognition initiatives and the capacity to retain staff members. The study emphasises the importance of tailored incentive programmes in improving job satisfaction and dedication among expatriates, offering valuable insights for organisations to create strategies that promote expatriate retention and facilitate sustained organisational expansion.
