Understanding turnover
What your turnover rate means
Low turnover (≤15%)
Indicates good retention and employee satisfaction. Common in organizations with strong culture, competitive pay, and growth opportunities.
Average turnover (15–30%)
Within typical range for many industries. Some churn is healthy for fresh perspectives, but watch for increasing trends.
High turnover (>30%)
May signal issues with compensation, management, culture, or work conditions. Worth investigating the root causes through exit interviews.
Voluntary vs involuntary
Voluntary turnover (resignations) often indicates engagement issues. Involuntary (terminations) may point to hiring or performance management problems.
