up spending more hard-earned bucks in getting new customers than the maintaining relationship with the old one. From a business’s perspective, it is always recommended to retain old customers than acquiring new ones, because your existing customers can help you with “word-of-mouth” advertising. If they are satisfied with you, they’ll bring in 10 more customers for you. Customer retention is never as easy as it sounds. Indeed, customer retention has turned as very challenging in today’s competitive
INTRODUCTION Customer retention refers to the activities and actions companies and organizations take to reduce the number of customer defections. The goal of customer retention programs is to help companies retain as many customers as possible, often through customer loyalty and brand loyalty initiatives.

Student Motivation and Retention I decided to write most of paper about motivation because motivation is something that is lacking in several of my students in Junction City. I want to help students develop the motivation to learn math instead of hearing the bad attitude they have developed for mathematics. It is so frustrating to hear a student say that they do not care. Also in my paper, I plan to intertwine the topic of retention. My paper will lean more towards retaining students in math
Adult Students: Recruitment and Retention How to attract and retain adult students is an enduring question for providers of adult education. Adult students must juggle competing demands on their time from study, family, work, and other commitments; their learning goals are often different from those of educational institutions and providers; and their needs and aspirations may change during the education process, sometimes as a result of it. This Brief reviews recent research related to adult
promoted or they can be retained. The choices for a failing child are limited and both situations have stigmas attached. Both options have positive and negative effects this I concur. While, presenting both sides of the argument I will note that retention is not always the solution to a failing child’s future, however, promoting a student without the skills or knowledge to proceed to the next grade level only paves a future of destruction. What is Social Promotion? “Social promotion is the practice
Social Promotion VS. Retention Abstract Social promotion and retention are used for various reasons. Retention is implemented when students have not met the general requirements to begin the next grade. The question that will be addressed is how do social promotion and retention differ?

Adult Learner Retention Adult learner retention continues to hold the attention of adult educators in every type of program. Although the reasons students leave and the strategies for keeping them may differ from adult basic education (ABE) to higher education, the goal of retention is the same: to keep learners in programs until they achieve their goals (Tracy-Mumford et al. 1994). In any program, adults are largely voluntary participants, but the student role is just one of many roles and responsibilities
Grade retention, better known as “staying back”, “being held back” or “repeating”, has been the topic of much debate within the educational system.

Reducing the Cost of Employee Turnover by Managing for Retention Employee turnover and the retention of valued employees are major problems facing business in the U.S. The average turnover rate is hovering at 15%.

Never before has it been so critical to focus on strategies for keeping good employees. However
Managing Employee Retention and Turnover Employee retention has always been an important focus for human resource managers. Once a company has invested time and money to recruit and train a good employee, it is in their own best interest to retain that employee, to further develop and motivate him so that he continues to provide value to the organization. But, employers must also recognize and tend to what is in the best interest of their employees, if they intend to keep them. When a company

"Women now make up nearly half the undergraduate math majors in the U.S. (1993 Annual Survey of the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical association of America); yet in graduate math programs, only about one-quarter of the American students are women" (Adhikari & Nolan, 1997, p. 17). For women who choose SME (Science, Mathematics, Engineering) majors, persistence

Riordan Manufacturing has been through several strategic changes in its marketing and manufacturing efforts, which have significantly decreased employee retention. In performing an employee survey this decrease in retention has been attributed to a decrease in overall job satisfaction, specifically in the areas of compensation and benefits.
