The sector employs about 15% of the country's workforce, and the country is recorded as the highest apparel exports per capita nation in the Asian region. ABC Apparel Company is the one of the leading apparel manufacturing and exporting organizations operating globally with a workforce of more than 40,000. It is found that the operational level employees of the organization tend to have a high turnover, and the current status of the key performance indicators of HR is not at a very satisfactory level. The main reason behind the turnover is mostly the inability of the employees to balance their work and life with the excessive workload and working hours and work-related stress, which lead to frequent absenteeism.
