"Retention is not about money but more to do with training and creating a career within the company. We have over 65,000 people across the globe. So there is a lot of opportunity to move within the organisation," Ms Cook said. She added that should someone leave and then want to come back they do re-hire.

In a diversified conglomerate, career growth and movement can both be addressed since the aim of the company is also to provide as great an exposure to its employees as possible.

Eaton has four main businesses, electrical fluid power, truck and automotive components with huge scope, size and reach. With more employees outside the US than within it, Eaton nevertheless has a single policy across the globe.
