Employee turnover refers to the process of employees leaving their jobs and being replaced by new hires. The term turnover can sometimes have negative connotations, suggesting a high rate of employee dissatisfaction or organizational instability. Synonyms for employee turnover include attrition, churn, rotation, mobility, and movement. Attrition is often used to describe natural departures from an organization, while churn can imply a sense of disarray or chaos. Rotation and mobility are more neutral terms that can suggest intentional or positive transitions between roles or departments. Movement can imply both upward and downward shifts in job level or responsibility. Regardless of the terminology used, managing turnover is an important consideration for any organization seeking to maintain a stable and productive workforce.
