This can be permanent as part of a home or hybrid working structure, or it might be transient, as was the case during the COVID-19 epidemic.

Figure 1: Employee Retention Any organization's HR function is incredibly important for employee retention. Workplace policy  and procedure improvements, internal advancement chances, employee training, and incentive  payments are a few examples of strategies for retaining employees. Employee retention tactics  during restructuring are the responsibility of the HR department, which must also recommend and  put them into action.  Reorganizations brought on by declining earnings may not result in salary increases, but they may offer their staff members other incentives or benefits, such as more time off work, more flexibility with their schedules, or on-site employment prospects.
