EMPLOYEE TURNOVER
IS IT A GOOD OR A BAD THING?

EMPLOYEE TURNOVER
KEY QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER
What is the business impact and where is the business impact of employee
turnover on operations and results?
• Key individuals, specific capabilities or key roles?
How do you most effectively address identified issues for the specific
individuals/capabilities/roles?
• Addressing an untargeted employee population may be ineffective and
expensive
• The issue may be more complex than it first appears

FLOWS
Who comes into the How successful is the How successful is the
organisation, and who of organisation at growing and organisation at retaining
these stay within the nurturing the talent it needs to people who have the right
organisation? execute its business strategy? capabilities and produce the
highest value?
• Many organisations report on these three areas in silos and struggle to see how they interact
• Workforce maps clearly shows the relationship between these three flows

Correlation can tell you something about the relationship between variables. It
is used to understand whether the relationship is positive or negative, and the
strength of relationship.

SCORE AND FORECAST
Once the impact of independent variable is determined, the model can be used to analyse
current employees to create a probability for that employee to quit.
Once a probability has been determined for each employee, aggregate forecasts can be created.
Areas of focus can be identified to help minimise the risk and protect the opportunities.

EXAMPLES
Google:
• Has developed an algorithm to successfully predict which employees are most
likely to become a retention problem so that they can act and plan accordingly.
• Also has developed an algorithm for predicting which candidates had the highest
probability of succeeding after they were hired. Its research also determined that
little value was added beyond four interviews, dramatically shortening time to hire.
Hewlett-Packard:
• Has generated a “Flight Risk” score that predicts which worker will quit their job for
each of its more than 330,000 worldwide employees. HP can focus its efforts on
retaining those it wants to keep.
