About Employee Turnover
Employee turnover rate measures the percentage of employees who leave a company during a specific time period. It's a key metric for HR departments to evaluate workforce stability and retention effectiveness.
The standard formula calculates turnover as:
- Separations = Starting Employees + New Hires – Ending Employees
- Average Headcount = (Starting Employees + Ending Employees) ÷ 2
- Turnover Rate = (Separations ÷ Average Headcount) × 100
A high turnover rate may indicate issues with management, compensation, culture, or job satisfaction. Tracking this metric helps organizations identify trends and implement retention strategies.
