Benefits cited include improved staff morale, productivity and employee retention.

However, many consider employee retention as relating to the efforts by which employers attempt to retain employees in their workforce.

Increasing employee retention in this way results in less expenditure for the company on overheads such as recruitment and the training of new recruits.

This may result in absenteeism, poor employee retention and loss of productivity.

Profit-sharing increased employee retention and pride in ownership in the company encouraged project-successes.
