Talk:Turnover (employment)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello, Can anyone refer me to specific and relatively recent turnover data for managers in the hospitality industry? Thanks you12.22.63.254 00:08, 30 October 2007 (UTC)llang

[edit] Issue with wording

If an employer is said to have a high turnover, it most often means that employees of that company have a shorter tenure than those of other companies in that same industry. Similarly, if the average tenure of employees in a particular sector is lower than that in other sectors, that sector can be said to have a relatively high turnover'''.

The above paragraph doesnt make sense. The part in bold is inconsistant with what goes before it and is internally inconsistant. If a sector has a low turnover rate compared to other sectors then does it not have a relativley low turnover rate overall. Not a relativley high one? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.239.127.107 (talk) 16:14, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

The "tenure" of an employee refers to the amount of time they stay. So lower tenure means higher turnover. The statement is not contradictory. However it is redundant as the bold section is just the converse of the first statement. 216.36.186.2 (talk) 19:31, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
