A survey questionnaire was sent and collected from 60 respondents who worked in the Manufacturing Industry in Malaysia. The results showed that the main factor that influences turnover intention of the employees was compensation and benefits. Hence, manufacturing firms ought to put extra efforts in this aspect in order to retain talents and minimize turnover rate of its workforce.
