Framed on a wider project on Employees’ retention, this project specifically aims to explore the stateof-art on of this field of study. This paper presents the preliminary results of the project as a call for international partnership for the follow up stages of the project. It is our intention to widen this research to other countries in the empirical study in order to acquire and generate more significant insights to employees’ retention problematic. In this kick off phase we developed a systematic literature review between 2006 and 2015, which permitted (a) the characterization of scientific production of the last decade on the subject, (b) the identification of the main issues associated to employees’ retention problematic, (c) the retention factors of employees on organizations, and (d) the more prevalent human resources management practices related to employees’ retention.
