Employee retention has become a critical problem faced by many firms in Malaysia, regardless of the industry in which they are involved. Retaining employees with valuable knowledge, skills, and abilities is difficult. Therefore, the main reason for the current study is to examine the work environment as a predictor of employee retention in construction and manufacturing firms in Semenyih, Selangor, Malaysia. The sample for this study consists of employees working in the construction and manufacturing firms in the Semenyih area who will fill out an online survey questionnaire. The study found an insignificant relationship between work environment and employee retention. It is recommended that future research should further explore the factors influencing employee retention in different business locations and industries.
