INTERNATIONALIZATION AND HUMAN RESOURCE DIVERSITY RETENTION MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES: A LITERATURE REVIEW

SUMMARY

The rising number of international students and staff working globally in the current decade can be attributed to the various internationalization strategies that various public and private employers, have put in place to achieve globalization goals. The presence of international human resource capital on the other hand in the global human resource sector is a significant indicator that retention management strategies are being practiced by employers across the board. During their study period in foreign universities, most international students engage in part-time jobs which retain them after their studies through a work permit strategy among others. This review sought to discover and review the retention management strategies that employers utilized in managing and retaining the international human resource capital often brought to their disposal by higher education. It will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on Internationalization and human resource management retention. This review involved relevant scholarly articles on internationalization, employability, and diversity retention management. The outcome recommends the provision of; a robust and effective selection and hiring process, a safe and conducive job environment, full support from top management, humane treatment, collaboration, cultivation of a multicultural atmosphere, training and, development, financial incentives, and benefits, job enrichment initiatives, career development, equal access to promotion opportunities, flexible work opportunities, performance appraisals, and job evaluations, equal opportunities, opportunities to explore side jobs unlimited access to family-friendly benefits to all the multicultural staff.
