Abstract:  Turnover is one of the subjects with much research in the organizational sciences and economics. Turnover rate can be minimized by encouraging employee retention. Many studies on turnover and employee retention claim that employee retention can help in reducing significant costs on training and induction. As the current employees have adequate experience, they can work up to their full potential. Most companies follow strategies that help in retaining the existing staff. This research aims to find out about various retention strategies and the benefits of investing in employee retention techniques. This research seeks to investigate the causes of high employee turnover alongside the intention of recommending strategies for the retention. It also helps us to find the needs of employee retention and to contribute literature on employee turnover and its prevention.

Abstract: This paper explores the gap between legislative mandates for inclusive education and the continued segregation of students with moderate to severe disabilities. It examines the unique learning challenges faced by this demographic, constituting approximately 1% of the global population, and the necessity of adapting instructional strategies within general education. Highlighting the broad benefits of inclusion, research shows positive outcomes for both students with disabilities and students without disabilities, including academic, behavioral, and social improvements. The paper also addresses the crucial role of family and calls for evidence-based practices and teacher education reforms to alleviate the special education teacher shortage. Ultimately, it underscores the need for a unified approach to ensure that students with significant disabilities are integrated into general education classrooms, advocating for their right to an inclusive educational experience.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the academic engagement of 46 college students in Sabah, Malaysia, by administering the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale online. Data that were collected were automatically transferred onto a spreadsheet and subsequently analyzed using SPSS 26.0. Kruskal-Wallis H test revealed no significant differences in these college students’ academic engagement by way of ethnicity and age, while Mann-Whitney U test showed no significant differences in terms of gender. The group mean of the college students’ engagement was 67.1, indicating that they had below-average levels of engagement. Additionally, percentages of strongly agree/agree responses for each item were collapsed to gain an overall impression of their engagement. A low 34.78 to 47.83 percent strongly agreed/agreed that they (1) could continue studying for very long periods at a time, (2) would feel bursting with energy when they were doing their work and (3) felt strong and vigorous when they were studying or going to class. Only 52.17 to 58.69 percent strongly agreed/agreed that they (1) felt like going to class when they got up in the morning, (2) got carried away when they were studying, (3) always persevered in their studies, even when things did not go well, (4) forgot everything else around them when they were studying, (5) felt happy when they were studying intensely and (6) found it difficult to detach themselves from studies. In light of the findings, some recommendations on how to improve college students’ academic engagement were made.
