4.4. Impact on Retention
How long workers plan to stay in the factory is usually a good indicator for capturing possible changes in worker retention. The survey shows that retention was positively correlated with workers’ satisfaction with the factory. Therefore, we observed that the FCFS program had similar positive impact on worker retention as workers’ satisfaction with the factory. Chart 17 indicates that 88 % of the participants planned to stay in the factory for at least two years, a 22 % increase from the baseline and 17 % more than the final non-‐ participants.
" This project is very inspirational, particularly in how to retain workers in ways other than salary.”
