ABSTRACT In recent years, as the world is becoming a global economy with the influx of foreign companies into many developing countries like Ghana, managers face the challenge of having to address retention problems in the context of increasing competition in the global marketplace. It is against this background that this study aims at examining the effect of talent management on employees’ retention in the Ministry of Roads and Highways, Ghana. The study was quantitative and employed a cross sectional design. The target study population comprised of all staff from three selected regions namely: Northern, Central and Eastern and it used census sampling technique with a total number of 211. However, with selfadministered questionnaire used as the main tool for data collection, a total of 200 (94.78%) staff responded to the questionnaires. To analyse the collected data, descriptive and inferential statistics were used. Statistical software used was SPSS version 20. The study findings indicated that talent management had a positive and significant effect on employees’ intention to remain in the organisation. Thus, there was a significant positive relationship between employee retention and the various dimensions of talent management namely: competencies mapping, employees’ attraction, learning and development, and career development in The Ministry of Roads and Highways. It was recommended that the Ministry should devise measures of retaining employees through career mapping, employee engagement in decision making, learning and development and career development.
