It is one of <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.co.uk\/blog\/hr-kpis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the most important HR KPIs<\/a>, as it <strong>reflects the overall health and stability of your company<\/strong>. Generally, the turnover rate is calculated with workforce data over the course of a year.<\/p>\n<p>As many HR professionals know, the reasons for employee departure are countless.\u00a0 They might include resignation, termination, health reasons, or retirement. However, the turnover rate should not be confused with the <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.co.uk\/blog\/attrition-rate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attrition rate<\/a>, which reflects <strong>unreplaced employee departure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>HR professionals can calculate employee turnover by department, by position, or by any category of their choosing. When there are vacancies that frequently need to be filled, it is said that there is a high turnover rate.<\/p>\n<p>There are two distinct types of employee turnover: <strong>voluntary rotation, and involuntary rotation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Voluntary Turnover<\/h3>\n<p>As the name states, this kind of job rotation occurs <strong>when an employee voluntarily leaves the company<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>There are various causes of voluntary turnover. Some of the most common reasons for voluntary employee departure include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A more competitive job offer<\/li>\n<li>Hostility with coworkers<\/li>\n<li>Feelings of underappreciation<\/li>\n<li>Poor compensation and\/or benefits<\/li>\n<li>Feelings of exclusion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although voluntary turnover is sometimes inevitable, HR can help to reduce some of these causal factors. It should be a goal to work towards a healthy, inclusive, and comfortable environment for employees.<\/p>\n<h3>Involuntary Turnover<\/h3>\n<p>When a worker is<strong> unwillingly terminated from the company<\/strong>, it is considered to be involuntary rotation.<\/p>\n<p>Although it may not seem obvious, there are ways to reduce involuntary termination. In order to reduce involuntary turnover, HR can use <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.co.uk\/ebooks\/people-analytics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">people analytics<\/a> to determine the causes of the termination. Was it due to inadequate training or tools? Are there better ways of supporting team members who are unsure of their role?<\/p>\n<p>Involuntary rotations can\u2019t be avoided 100%, but it\u2019s best to minimise them as much as possible.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"is\"><\/a>What is a High Turnover Rate?<\/h2>\n<p>High turnover, or high rotation, occurs when a position is frequently vacant and then filled.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A high employee rotation has serious negative effects on a company.<\/strong> If there is a high rate of turnover, it is crucial to find out why it is occurring.<\/p>\n<p>In order to prevent high turnover, it is necessary to calculate the turnover rate at your company. Then, you can take action and make the required adjustments to lower it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/108b4TIqBn4\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"how\"><\/a>How to Calculate Turnover Rate<\/h2>\n<p><strong>To calculate the turnover rate<\/strong> you need the number of employees who leave and are replaced in a given timeframe. Like many other <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.co.uk\/blog\/metrics-hr-best-practices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">metrics used in HR reports<\/a>, employee turnover reflects data collected over the course of a year.<\/p>\n<p>To calculate the turnover rate, you need the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Number of employees who left within a given period<\/li>\n<li>The average number of employees within a given period<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The formula for calculating the turnover rate is as follows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Turnover rate (%) = (Number of Leavers\/Avg. Number of Employees) x 100\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Calculating the average number of employees is simple. First, add together the following:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>(Employees at the beginning of the period + Employees at the end of the Period)\/2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Voila! Ready to plug into the turnover rate calculation!<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s try with an example. If a 200-person company hired 20 and lost 10 within a year, what would the annual turnover rate look like?<\/p>\n<p>First, calculate the average number of employees:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>(200+220)\/2 = 210<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s put the average into the turnover rate formula:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Turnover rate (%) = (10\/210) x 100 = Approximately 4.76%<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once you have the results, you can analyse them and see if you fall into the standard turnover rate range. <strong>Depending on the type of business, and its nature, the average turnover rate will differ<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that a turnover rate of 0% is not necessarily good. Although it means that there is no problem with retaining talent, it might point toward an inability to evolve in the long term.<!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"top\"><\/a>Reasons for High Turnover Rate<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes employees choose to leave.

Aside from creating turnover-related problems, poor management can damage the overall health of your workforce.<\/p>\n<p>Employees who choose to leave due to their managers are often unable to cope with the following qualities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Micromanagement<\/li>\n<li>Unconstructive communication<\/li>\n<li>Unfocused planning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong> In order to boost confidence and promote clarity, hold extra training sessions for new managers. Make sure that new team members and their managers are well informed of their exact responsibilities. A great way to clarify goals and progress is with OKRs. These can help to keep everyone on the same page.<\/p>\n<h3>Turnover and Lack of Growth Opportunites<\/h3>\n<p>No one likes to feel stuck in their personal or professional lives. Most people search for ways to learn new skills, and develop and evolve in their positions.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the gains and losses of the company are tied to employee satisfaction. Discouraged employees tend to feel more apathy towards their work and are less motivated. For this reason, HR should do everything possible to increase employee engagement with growth opportunities and a positive working environment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong> Training can help to stimulate professional growth and improve specific skillsets. Undoubtedly, promotions and benefits can be used to reward talent for their hard work.<\/p>\n<h3>Turnover and Insufficient Compensation<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes offering a competitive salary isn&#8217;t always possible. But compensation is more than just a salary. Employees might be leaving due to a lack of benefits and flexibility.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong> In these cases, you should look into other forms of rewarding your employees, like their emotional salary. There are many ways to make job offers more attractive; it&#8217;s not always the monetary salary that attracts top talent. Learn how to leverage labour costs to make changes in your workforce.<\/p>\n<h3>Turnover and Toxic Work Environments<\/h3>\n<p>A hostile workplace can directly lead to employees leaving. No one likes to work in a toxic environment where they don\u2019t feel at ease.<\/p>\n<p>The more constant the workplace conflict, the greater the likelihood that employees will start to search for other work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong> Find ways to help employees feel integrated and nurtured in an inclusive atmosphere. Use key HR metrics that measure <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.co.uk\/blog\/6-tools-to-boost-workplace-motivation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">work motivation<\/a> and employee satisfaction to gain insight into the needs of your team. Team building activities and workforce planning can help to encourage cooperation and growth.<\/p>\n<h3>Turnover and Poor Recruitment Processes<\/h3>\n<p>Choosing the proper candidate for a position is more than picking the best CV.<\/p>\n<p>The right candidate has the skills and abilities needed for the job but also possesses values that match the company culture. The cost of a bad hire can be very high. For this reason, it might not be worth hiring an individual with goals that aren\u2019t aligned with the position.<\/p>\n<p>New hires may also be driven out the door by an inadequate <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.co.uk\/blog\/what-is-onboarding-employees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">onboarding process<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong> Use workforce analytics to determine the goals and needs of the company before hiring new talent.

Let\u2019s face it, <strong>constant changes can be draining<\/strong>. When teams are always adjusting, how can they make strides forward?<\/p>\n<p>So, what happens when there is high employee rotation? Here are some of the most common outcomes of high staff turnover.<\/p>\n<h3>Turnover Leads to Low Productivity<\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned before, a high turnover rate brings down motivation levels and increases stress. In fact, low productivity is one of the first visible signs of high turnover.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When positions are always vacant, it is hard on everyone<\/strong>. Higher turnover means additional work for existing employees. Often, they end up covering for employees who have left. This cuts into time spent on regular responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>New hires need to go through an adaptation period in which they learn how to do their job. This training period also means decreased productivity.<\/p>\n<h3>Turnover Means Changing Teams<\/h3>\n<p>Given the amount of time they spend together, employees tend to become like a family. That means that every change inside a company has the potential to make an emotional impact on the whole team.<\/p>\n<p>With constant turnover, <strong>it&#8217;s difficult for employees to build trust and confidence in one another.<\/strong> Understandably, when turnover is high, it is near impossible to create a shared company culture.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no surprise that employee turnover can be contagious. Once several team members have abandoned the ship, remaining employees may follow suit.<\/p>\n<h3>Turnover Impacts Employer Branding<\/h3>\n<p>A high turnover rate negatively affects the company\u2019s image. If employees leave due to poor compensation or lack of growth opportunities, it tells potential talent that it is not the best working environment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The image of a satisfied worker is a good way to attract and retain talent.<\/strong> Being the company with the best job conditions and most satisfied employees generates a good brand image.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-db9b86f7-a79b-417e-957a-1ab1b9c5e360\" class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\"><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(4960096, 'db9b86f7-a79b-417e-957a-1ab1b9c5e360', {\"region\":\"na1\"}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"turnover\"><\/a>High Turnover Rate Costs and Losses<\/h2>\n<p>Employees are a company\u2019s greatest asset and investment.
