Context you provide
- {{industry}} — the industry or sector of the organization (e.g., "tech").
- {{company_size}} — approximate number of employees.
- {{retention_goals}} — specific retention challenges or goals (e.g., "reduce voluntary turnover by 10% in the next year").
Instructions

Output format Organize your response into sections: Overview, Retention Techniques, Implementation Plan, and Metrics. Use bullet points and a table for the action plan. Keep the tone professional and practical.
