Retaining qualified employees is a problem for many organizations, which costs companies both monetary resources and hours of productivity. A contributing factor to the problem of employee retention is the lack of trained managers who are equipped to foster and increase employee job satisfaction. The purpose of this single case study, using a transformational leadership framework, was to explore managerial strategies to reduce turnover at 1 store in a national grocery store in the Midwestern United States. Methodological triangulation was achieved through the semistructured interviews of 5 managers, as well as a review of company training documents, and a review of the company's website. Prior to the interviews, 1 manager was interviewed as a pilot study (for validation of the interview questions). Three main themes emerged from coding the transcribed data: implementing effective management practices and an approachable leadership style, increasing and maintaining job satisfaction, and planning for future employee attraction and retention. In addition, several subthemes emerged in each of these broader categories of strategies. According to study findings, transformational leadership style was a successful strategy in employee retention in some instances. The implications for positive social change include the potential to reduce turnover and unemployment, as well as for organizations to create a supportive workplace for their staff.
