Your annualized turnover rate is 10.3% - moderate by industry standards.

  • Your retention rate is 89.7%, meaning about 90 out of every 100 employees stayed for the full period.
  • Replacing the 12 employees who left is estimated to cost $1,170,000, using the selected salary and cost multiplier.
  • Your turnover is primarily voluntary: 6.8% voluntary vs. 3.4% involuntary. High voluntary turnover often signals engagement or compensation gaps worth investigating.
  • This is below the U.S. all-industry average, consistent with top-performing employers.
