Although a certain amount of turnover is to be expected and is even desirable, high levels of turnover can undermine the success of your organization. When the training is completed, trainees will be able to:

• Identify the costs of excessive turnover
• Calculate and analyze your department’s turnover rate
• Determine causes of turnover among your employees
• Understand what your employees want from their jobs
• Develop an effective turnover reduction strategy
