Introduction High employee turnover rates bear an overall impact on organizational performance. More specifically, the costs of turnover will impact the company’s productivity. The cost of replacing employees can exceed 100% of the annual salary for the open position (Cascio, 2006). There are two types of costs associated with managing turnover, Separation costs and Replacement costs (Allen, Bryant and Vardaman, 2010). When employees voluntarily resign the organization acquires loss time and money to separate from the former employee. These costs include recruiting, selecting and training a suitable replacement. The relationship between turnover rate and performance are inverse. As collective turnover increases, an organizations productivity will decrease (Hausknecht and Trevor’s 2011). Developing mechanisms to offset the desire for employee’s to resign could mitigate the risk of company’s falling short on productivity, and incurring those costs that affect the bottom line. Problem Statement The cost-based perception assesses the impact on direct and indirect costs associated with collective turnover. On the basis of the evidence currently available by Allen et al. (2010), these cost are factors that affect organizational performance and ultimately productivity. According to the U. S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics (2014), there were over 5.7 million voluntary separations in the United States in the year of 2014. This study advances our understanding and knowledge to
High employee turnover, where workers frequently leave and must be replaced, leads to increased spending on recruitment and training and can indicate management problems. Employees often have good reasons for moving on but if too many are leaving an organisation, can be very disruptive.
When an employee leaves the company of his or her own volition, it is called voluntary turnover. In this essay, I will discuss why voluntary turnover is a problem for many organisations and how to retain employees.
High employee turnover has monetary costs. Though estimates vary, most experts agree that turnover costs, when all things are considered, equals at least 25% of a leaving employee’s annual wages (Silva & Toledo, 2009). For example, for an employee making $25,000 per year, the total turnover costs associated with replacing that employee would be at least $6,250. This includes cost of prescreening measures such as drug tests, background checks, application reviews, interviews, pre-employment training and other recruitment costs (Dolfin, 2006). It also includes implicit cost associated with on the job training and the productivity loss experienced by other employees that must help acclimate new employees to their environment
Retaining employees is one way the turnover rate can decrease, Branham (2000), focuses on retaining valuable employees by incorporating four key elements. The first key elements is, “be a company that people want to work for”. There are many companies that have been labeled as, “employers of choice”. These employers all have something in common, which is how they value their employers (Branham, 2000). They treat their employees with respect and like family. With being an “employer of choice,” people are the most valuable asset; not just customers but employees too. Many companies go above and beyond for their customers, but not for their employees, yet they wonder why they are losing valuable talent.

2. The second reason for high rates of hospitality staff turnover include deficiency of plentiful doles such as company provided health insurance, retirement benefits, vacation pay, sick leave, additional schooling or exercise programs and other peripheral benefits which are so often perks of other industries.

Having a high employee turnover rate can cost the company more than just people. There are many “costs” physical and opportunity that are included into high employee turnover.

For the most part, attracting and retaining employees in today’s market is one of the biggest challenges that are faced by Human Resources. In today’s society, retaining employees is rather difficult as various employees are known to jump from job to job, almost always in search for more benefits or for their personal dream. Whatever the reason be, high turnover rates can be very expensive to employers as training and hiring one employee and then training and hiring a new employee requires time and money. According to Chron.com, it has been found that “employee replacement costs can reach as high as 50 to 60 percent of an employee’s annual salary.” As this is a one-time transaction, employees that are retained only “charge” the company once and so it is allowing more work for the dollar when the employee stays with the company for a longer time period. Companies that have high turn-over rates spend more money on employees which affects the bottom line of the company, this determines the state on how fast or a matter of if the company will use its money to expand.
PaThe reality is that sometimes employees quit. While not all employee turnover is bad, many applied behavior analysis (ABA) service providers seem to experience a higher employee turnover rate than is seen in other industries. Since employee turnover is costly (at approximately $5,000 each person), if your ABA agency is experiencing a high employee turnover rate, you must address this problem. Once you discover the reasons that your employees are resigning, you can begin to address these issues and reduce your employee turnover rate.

Employee retention has always been an important focus for human resource managers. Once a company has invested time and money to recruit and train a good employee, it is in their own best interest to retain that employee, to further develop and motivate him so that he continues to provide value to the organization. But, employers must also recognize and tend to what is in the best interest of their employees, if they intend to keep them. When a company overlooks the needs of its employees and focuses only on the needs of the organization, turnover often results. Excessive turnover in an organization is a prime indicator that something is not right in the employee environment. We will look at
