Employee turnover, also known as staff turnover, refers to the movement of employees
into and out of an organization. It is the percentage of employees who leave the
company during a given period, usually expressed as an annual percentage.
Employee turnover is a major problem for organizations of all sizes. It can have a
significant negative impact on productivity, profitability, and employee morale. It is
therefore crucial for businesses to understand the causes of employee turnover and
implement strategies to reduce it.
Employee turnover is an important indicator because it is generally a faithful reflection of
the social health and work environment within an establishment. Indeed, if job rotation is
normal and part of the life cycle of any company, it is still necessary to ensure that it is
not too high as it can have harmful consequences on the financial health, productivity
and motivation of employees.
Consider that a company's turnover is low when it is less than 5%. On the other hand, if
it exceeds 15%, it means that the employee turnover rate is high and that the company
may suffer from a poor social climate.
Direct and indirect costs: Recruiting and training new employees is expensive for
businesses. In addition, the departure of experienced employees can lead to a
loss of productivity while new employees get up to speed.
Loss of knowledge and expertise: When employees leave a company, they take
their knowledge and expertise with them. This can be especially damaging for
businesses that rely on specialized or experienced employees.
Damage to the company's reputation: A high turnover rate can give a bad image
of a company to potential candidates, customers, and business partners.
Poor working conditions: This can include low wages, poor benefits, long hours,
and a dangerous or unpleasant work environment.
Lack of recognition and appreciation: Employees who feel like their work is not
recognized or appreciated are more likely to leave.
Lack of opportunities for advancement: Employees who feel like they have no
opportunity to advance within the company are more likely to look for a job
elsewhere.
Conclusion
Managing employee turnover is essential for maintaining a productive and high-
performing workforce. By reducing turnover, businesses can save money, improve
employee morale, and increase productivity.
There are a number of strategies that businesses can implement to reduce employee
turnover and improve organizational productivity, including:
Offer competitive salaries and benefits: Employees are more likely to stay with a
company that offers competitive salaries and benefits. This includes things like health
insurance, retirement savings plans, and paid time off.
Provide opportunities for recognition and advancement: Employees need to feel like
their work is valued and that they have the opportunity to grow and advance within the
company. This can be done by providing regular feedback, offering opportunities for
training and development, and creating a clear path to promotion.
Create a positive work environment: Employees need to feel like they are part of a team
and that their work is meaningful. This can be done by creating a positive work
environment, fostering open communication, and encouraging collaboration.
Promote work-life balance: Employees need to be able to balance their work and
personal lives. This can be done by offering flexible work arrangements, providing
support for working parents, and encouraging employees to take time off.
