Voluntary & Involuntary Turnover Rate

 Quick Tip: Watch this short tutorial to see the HCM Dashboard in action. 

Overview

---

The Voluntary & Involuntary Turnover Card tracks the percentage of benefit-eligible employees who terminated or retired during the fiscal year.

Turnover is divided into two categories:

• Voluntary Turnover (%)
• Involuntary Turnover (%)

This card helps users monitor overall turnover trends and understand how different types of separations contribute to workforce change over time.
