RELATIONSHIP OF TALENT ACQUISITION, DEVELOPMENT, MANAGEMENT AND COMPEN SATION TO THE SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS’ RETENTION IN ELDORET EAST SUBCOUNTY, KENYA

Abstract

Talent retention is a crucial aspect of transformative education because competent human resources are the ones

delivering quality education. The present study involved 42 selected secondary teachers who responded to a

questionnaire to measure their perception on the quality of recruitment, development, talent management and

compensation. The result showed undecided or uncertain response in terms of quality of hiring, development,

talent management and compensation that are being implemented in their schools. Lastly, it was found that

there is a highly significant positive relationship of talent acquisition, development, management and

compensation to the secondary school teachers’ retention in Nandi Central County. It is recommended that

effective processes of hiring, training and management of talents be implemented by school board or

administrators.
