Top 4 Ways to Increase Your Employee Retention Rate

Professional Alternatives

Employee retention simply refers to how many employees actually stay under your employment. If you employ a hundred people and five of them leave, this means that your turnover rate is 5% which is 5/100 while your retention rate is 95% which is 95/100.
