Thus, the aims of this research are to examines the relationship between talent management practice and employee retention among professional workers in five Government-linked companies (GLC) in Malaysia. Five core talent management practices tested in this study were performance recruitment, performance management, succession planning, training and development and rewards and compensations. The population consists of 140 professional workers from five GLC companies. Data have been collected by questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS. The findings indicate all the five talent management practices have positive correlation on employee retention. Meanwhile, the result of multiple regressions shows only performance management and recruitment positively effect on employee retention. The limitations of the study include a small sample size, (N= 140) and was not longitudinal in nature and could be limited to generalizability to other samples.
