These two tools were used so as to examine the impact of voice on employee performance and check the moderating effect of organizational trust on the relationship between employee voice and organizational performance. The study found that fostering open communication and receiving feedback from employees positively influences productivity and reduces attrition rates. Effective leadership and communication channels play pivotal roles in this the performance of organization. The results revealed significant relationships between the variables under scrutiny, and the mediating variable was found to exert a noteworthy impact.  Nepal is facing a serious turnover problem and low productivity.
