摘要：The inability to attract, attain and retain talented employees that perform effectively which in turn intensifies service delivery challenges across City Councils in Zimbabwe has remained a main challenge facing Masvingo City Council. This study examined the management practices that can be employed by the City Council to improve on employee retention. The study adopted a quantitative research approach using questionnaires administered to a total of 67 professionals at the City Council. Responses were captured and analysed using SPSS. Statistical tests were used to test 5 hypotheses which were formulated for the various sections of the study. Findings indicated that management practices have an impact on employee retention at the Council level. It was further revealed that there is a strong relationship between the implementation of talent management and retention strategies at Masvingo City Council. The study recommended that the City Council should provide employees with opportunities to empower them, promotion and growth opportunities, sufficient training, and development, revised and improved personnel policies, and incentives for outstanding performance.
