The main objective of this study is to identify the root causes of employee turnover in the garment industry in Bangladesh. The study employed a combination of case study and documentary research methods. Data and information were collected from eight garment factories through in-depth interviews, reviewing relevant documents, information extracting from annual reports and meetings minutes. The findings reveal wage rates, wage payment methods, training and development, career opportunities and occupational health and safety (OHS) as the main factors leading to high employee turnover in garment factories in Bangladesh. This study further explores the reasons for the variation in employee turnover rates among different garment factories. The findings advocate for a holistic approach adopting “multiple human resource practices” as a bundle to reduce employee turnover in the garment industry. Based on its empirical findings, this study provides recommendations that both corporate managers and government policy makers can follow to reduce employee turnover in the garment industry in Bangladesh.
