The objective of the study was to determine the effect of human resources compensation on employee retention in local government in Uganda case of Kabale District. A case study research design was used considering utilizing both quantitative and qualitative approaches.

The study recommended that it’s crucial for KDLG to reevaluate their retention strategies, focusing on enhancing job satisfaction, professional development opportunities, and overall workplace conditions to mitigate turnover and ensure the retention of valuable talent. There is need for providing competitive salaries, ensuring all employees are on payroll, offering comprehensive workplace allowances and recognition programs, and equitably distributing work benefits across employees at all levels. |
