�The financial and non-financial outcomes of reducing employee turnover are significant. Reviewing various aspects of your organization and taking appropriate action will help you reduce your organization�s employee turnover. While this process requires time and effort, it will save the organization time, effort, and money in the long run. The result of this process is improved organizational performance, productivity, and profit.�

Employee turnover is not only very costly to every organization and, ultimately, takes its toll on organizational performance, productivity, and profit. There are direct and indirect costs associated with employee turnover. Direct costs include the time involved in recruitment, selection, and training of new personnel as well as the costs associated with advertising expenses and manpower. The time a manager spends in the selection process could otherwise be devoted to other management responsibilities of his or her everyday function. Indirect costs include the increased workloads as coworkers pick up the slack until new employees are hired and trained as well as the decreased productivity associated with low employee morale.
Identify characteristics of your organization and the job that contribute to employee turnover. Review your organization�s recruitment strategies. Specify your recruitment goals and identify the appropriate applicant pool or pools. Examine your employee selection methods. Analyze your performance management and compensation practices. Evaluate your employee training and development activities.
