Employee turnover refers to the number or percentage of workers who leave an organization and are replaced by new employees. Measuring employee turnover can be helpful to employers that want to examine reasons for turnover or estimate the cost-to-hire for budget purposes. Although different types of turnover exist, the general definition is that turnover occurs when the employment relationship ends.
1.Voluntary Turnover:
When an employee leaves the company of her own volition, it’s called voluntary termination. Employees give a number of reasons for leaving their jobs. They may be accepting employment with another company, relocating to a new area or dealing with a personal matter that makes it impossible to work.
