The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between Healthy and Safe Environment (HSE) and employee retention, keeping the mediating effect of employees’ commitment. Data for the study was gathered through a close-ended questionnaire, which was filled by 200 employees of four major textile companies in Pakistan. The relationship between variables was tested through Partial Least Square (PLS) modeling by using Smart PLS v3.2.8. The findings of the study revealed that there is a significant relationship between health and safety dimensions and employee commitment, except for one i.e. emergency information.

The study also found that there is no mediating role of employee commitment between health and safety, and employee retention.
