What is "Avoidable" turnover?
Employee turnover is normal. Employees come and go for many reasons, including personal reasons and reasons that have nothing to do with a specific company. In addition, turnover is known to be high in some industries and for some job types. So how much can a company actually do to improve retention? This differs from company to company but we estimate this number. For SAP, we estimate average tenue could be increased by 98 days with effective retention programs. We base this number on a comparison of SAP to other similar companies.
What is driving turnover at SAP?
Employee turnover at Sap is primarily driven by company size and employee seniority. SAP is a larger company than most of the companies in its industry. Smaller businesses are more likely to keep their workers for a longer period of time. This is likely because they are able to provide a more supportive and accommodating work environment. Their employees are also more likely to feel appreciated and appreciated for their contributions. Smaller companies typically have a more informal atmosphere, which can be a draw for some workers. They may also be able to offer employees more autonomy and flexibility in how they work. This can lead to a more engaged, productive workforce. Large companies typically have more stringent culture and they may find it more difficult to keep employees. The employees at SAP are, on average, relatively new to the company. Employees who have worked at a company for longer periods of time are less likely to leave than new employees. It's important to know what factors contribute to employee turnover. The following are some of the most common causes of employee turnover: lack of job satisfaction, inability to advance in the organization, incompetence at work, low pay, or un-challenging work.
Methodology
The numbers reported here are based on statistical analysis of publicly available employment data of current and past employees of the company. We determine mean tenure based on how long past employees have stayed at the company and how long current employees have been employed. We determine the annual turnover percentage as (1/tenure * 100). We analyse a sample of the employees at a company. We make an effort to sample in a representative way but some bias is unavoidable. Some types of employees may be overrepresented in our sample based on their job, their online activity, and their geographic location. We expect our number to have a confidence interval of approximately 1 year. In other words, if the mean tenure reported is 4 years, the true value lies between 3 and 5 with 98% confidence. Similarly if the average turnover reported is 20% we expect the true value to be between 15% and 25%.
