**Edit: added one-sidedness of 'Employee retention' as an issue**

I'm looking for an alternative to 'Employee retention'. Intuitively, I interpret 'retention' as a defensive term, while I mean to emphasise (strengthening of) the bond between an employee and their company in a positive way.

Additionally, 'Employee retention' is a one-sided term, in that it is primarily applicable when considering the bond from company's perspective.

In Dutch, we have the (to me) more neutral term *medewerkersbinding*. In German, there's the equivalent term *Mitarbeiterbindung* ([Wikipedia, using Google Translate](https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fde.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FMitarbeiterbindung)). 

Does such a term exist in English?
