Personnel turnover involves the change of employees in a company.
Personnel turnover is the change of employees in a company . Staff turnover is said to occur when workers leave the company (either because they are fired or resign) and are replaced by others who fill their positions and assume their duties.
It should be noted that rotation is the act and result of rotating . This verb refers to rotating around an axis or following a certain turn . Personal , for its part, is a term with several uses: it can be something linked to a person or a group of individuals who work together in the same place .
Types of personnel rotation
Basically we can determine that there are two different types of personnel turnover:
- The voluntary one , which takes place when the employees themselves resign from the job. Among the reasons that may lead them to make this determination are a conflict with a superior, that they have obtained a job in another company or that for family or personal reasons they have to stop working to be able to stay at home.
- The involuntary , which, as its name indicates, is carried out without the employee's wishes. It can take place for different reasons, such as a disciplinary measure; poor or inadequate performance of your job; a reduction in staff because the company is not going through a good time; or a restructuring of the company.
Layoffs, resignations, and hiring lead to employee turnover.
Generally negative perception
The general perception about personnel turnover is negative . A company's customers or suppliers may experience distrust toward a firm where its employees last a short time. Since there is intense personnel turnover, it becomes difficult to strengthen the link between the company and external components.
At the internal level of the company, personnel turnover also has several negative consequences. Changing employees requires training new workers, something that always takes time . New employees, on the other hand, will only gain experience as they perform their jobs. In this way, it is likely that, in the process, the company's productivity will fall.
Personnel turnover, however, can be positive in certain contexts. When said rotation occurs to acquire more qualified personnel, the investment of money and time is justified by the subsequent results that the entity in question can achieve.
Staff turnover rate
In addition to all of the above, it must be taken into account that there is the concept of personnel turnover index , which is used within a company to be able to know and identify problems of job dissatisfaction that exist among employees or different situations of deficiency in issues. such as the hiring and selection of workers.
In order to carry out the calculation of this index, it is necessary to use the following data:
- The number of people who have been hired during a given period.
- People who have been laid off or left during that same time.
- The number of workers there were at the beginning of that period.
- The number of employees there are at the end of that aforementioned time.
