What is Employee Turnover Rate?

Employee Turnover Rate measures the percentage of employees who leave an organization during a specific time period, typically annually. It includes both voluntary resignations and involuntary terminations. High turnover is costly — replacement costs can range from 50% to 200% of an employee's annual salary. Tracking turnover by department, tenure, and reason for leaving helps identify retention issues.
