Labour Turnover
Rate of employees leaving organization.
Formula
Labour Turnover (%) = (Number leaving ÷ Average total employed) × 100
Real World
Amazon's UK warehouses have reported annual labour turnover rates exceeding 100%, meaning the entire workforce effectively replaced itself each year, costing millions in recruitment and training.
Exam Focus
Always state whether high turnover is a cause or symptom — examiners reward analysis of underlying reasons, not just consequences.
