What is The Turnover Rate?

Employee turnover rate is the rate at which employees resign from a company. Any company having a high turnover rate means that the company loses lots of employees in less time.

What is Net Turnover Rate & True Turnover Rate?

Turnover rates can be broken down into two parts, namely ‘net turnover rate’ & ‘true turnover rate’.

Net Turnover Rate: It is a figure calculated & includes all staff that has left the company. Their reasons to leave the job are not taken into account.

True Turnover Rate: It is the rate that calculates & excludes any unavoidable terminations such as retirement & disability.

Performing the Analysis and Interpretation of the Turnover Rate Figures.

A company that has a very high turnover rate means that a lot of employees leave in a short period. Turnover rates can be high due to the following factors:

  • Poorly trained staff
  • Employee with less salary
  • Working condition is not suitable
  • Very stressful environment
  • Quarrels in the workplace.
  • Group exclusion, cultural & religious differences
  • Unsuitable employee recruitment due to poor recruitment process
  • Misleading job profiles
  • Location issues with workplace
  • Work environment which is not safe
  • Competitor companies offering better benefits to employees
  • Better opportunities

Finally, employees who are leaving the company should be interviewed. It will help to know the issues due which they are leaving & also help in rectifying any problems in the remaining employees.

Turnover Rate Formula

True Turnover Rate (TTR) = (VT + DT) / TNE

Net Turnover Rate (NTR) = (VT + DT + UT) / TNE

Here, TNE = Total Number of Employees

VT = voluntarily Termination

DT = Disciplinary Termination

UT = Unavoidable Termination

Solved Example to Calculate Employee Turnover Rate

A big manufacturing company has a total of 3200 employees. But in the first quarter of 2022, there are a total of 52 terminations, out of which 24 are unavoidable, 44 are disciplinary & remaining 50 are voluntary terminations. Find out the net & true turnover rate of a company.

Solution:

Here, let us first write down all the values.

TNE = 3000

VT = 50 DT = 44 UT = 24

So, using both the formulae,

True Turnover Rate (TTR) = (VT + DT) / TNE

Net Turnover Rate (NTR) = (VT + DT + UT) / TNE

We get the final answer as,

TTR = 3.13% & NTR = 3.93%
