When considering international employment laws or treaties related to talent retention and people culture, it's essential to recognize that the landscape is vast and varies by region and country. However, several key international instruments and guidelines touch upon these areas:

International Labour Organization (ILO) Conventions: The ILO has established numerous conventions that member states are encouraged to ratify. Some of these conventions touch upon aspects of talent retention and people culture, such as:
Convention No. 87: Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise
Convention No. 98: Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining
Convention No. 111: Discrimination (Employment and Occupation)
Convention No. 122: Employment Policy

Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR): While not explicitly an employment treaty, the UDHR establishes fundamental human rights, some of which relate to employment conditions and can influence talent retention and workplace culture.

OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises: These guidelines provide recommendations for responsible business conduct in areas such as employment and industrial relations.
