Introduction of Topic:
Employee Turnover
Employee turnover is a measure of how many employees
leave an organization and are replaced each year. A
turnover rate of 25 percent would mean that 25 percent of
employees who were working at the start of the year had left
the company by the end of the year. Some employee
turnover is inevitable in any organization, but a high turnover
rate can cost your business money and lead to a dissatisfied
and unproductive workforce.
High staff turnover costs your company money in terms of lost
production and the costs to recruit new employees.
Excessive turnover metrics can vary from industry to industry,
but 20 percent employee attrition is considered high
turnover, according to Judy Capko, writing on the Academy
of American Family Physicians website. When you
understand what causes high turnover rates, you can
develop policies that will reverse the trend and maintain
productive staffing levels.
Industry Variations
Turnover can vary greatly from industry to industry. For
example, turnover in the fast-food industry can be as high as
50 to 75 percent, and fast-food restaurants may build high

turnover into their cost calculations. The U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics reports that average yearly turnover in all industries
is close to 32 percent. Public sector organizations are also
affected by turnover. For example, a study by the National
Commission on Teaching and America's Future found that
the national teacher turnover rate, as of 2008, was almost 17
percent. High teacher turnover causes schools to spend
scarce resources on finding and training new teachers and
can reduce the effectiveness of the school.
Important sub topics
Important sub topics are:
Factors Affecting Turnover
High turnover tends to occur in jobs where employees view
themselves as undervalued. Low pay is one factor, but
turnover also increases when employees feel they are not
treated with respect and where there is a lack of teamwork,
or where management is viewed as arbitrary and overly
demanding. A lack of flexible work scheduling can also
cause employees with families, especially women, to leave a
job. Turnover can also increase when there is a change to
the corporate structure, such as a merger or a major
organizational restructuring. Jobs where there are high levels
of stress or injury, such as police officer, child-care worker and
construction worker, may also have higher level of turnover.

Costs of Turnover
Costs associated with employee turnover include covering
the vacancy, advertising the position and training new hires.
The loss of experienced employees can also lead to a "brain
drain," which can make your company less competitive. In
addition to these obvious costs, there are hidden costs of
employee turnover. These include stress on existing staff who
have to cover the position, lower productivity and reduced
customer service. In offices with high employee turnover, staff
morale may be low, as employees view the business as a
career dead end or a depressing place to work, and this can
also affect productivity.
Reducing Employee Turnover
If your business has a high rate of employee turnover, consult
staff to find out what they makes them unhappy. Train
management to deal appropriately with staff grievances
and discipline. Consider incentive programs, such as
productivity bonuses or offering employee stock options.
Providing more flexible work hours and conditions may also
prevent staff, particularly those with young children, from
leaving.
Advancement
Employees need to feel challenged and have career goals
to work toward in order to feel motivated. When your small
business is unable to provide career advancement to your
staff, you may start to experience high levels of turnover.
9. 9 | P a g e

Submitted by: waQas ilYas(BA582702)
Advancement can come in the form of expanded
responsibility that an employee can use to improve her
resume. For example, creating teams to handle special
company projects is an opportunity to allow some
employees to be team leaders, while others get the chance
to work on something that is different than their usual job
duties.
Communication
To retain employees, company management needs to
reach out and communicate with the staff. Field input and
suggestions from staff members and implement the ideas
that work best for the company. Allow employees to affect
the work environment and give employees a chance to
have a hand in determining the company's success.
Alienating employees with closed-door management
policies and ignoring employee input will lead to high
turnover.
Competency
When employees are consistently assigned work duties that
they do not feel competent enough to complete, it can lead
to employee attrition, according to Capko. Managers need
to regularly evaluate employee skill levels and assign work
that is in line with the employee's qualification. If
management would like to add to an employee's job duties,
the employee needs the necessary training before job duties
can be assigned. Consistently putting employees in a position
10. 10 | P a g e
Submitted to: Sir Khawaja Imran
Submitted by: waQas ilYas(BA582702)
to fail by not paying attention to skill sets results in a frustrated
staff.
Compensation
Analyse your current pay structure to make sure it is
competitive in your industry. If you are experiencing high
turnover, and exit interview results indicate that
compensation is a problem, you may find that your pay
structure is not making your company a competitive
employer.
Create a base pay structure that entices employees to stay,
and use performance bonus programs to motivate
employees to be more productive. Performance bonuses
also help employees to feel that their hard work was noticed
by the company and they can help improve morale.
Comparison
Although different types of turnover exist, the general
definition is that turnover occurs when the employment
relationship ends. Turnover and attrition -- terms that are
sometimes used interchangeably or together when
describing the departure of an employee -- are different.
Attrition generally refers to the end of the employment
relationship due to retirement, job elimination or employee
death, and is distinguishable from turnover because when
attrition occurs, the position is not filled with a new employee.

Involuntary Turnover
Employee termination for poor job performance,
absenteeism or violation of workplace policies is called
involuntary turnover -- also referred to as termination, firing or
discharge. It's involuntary because it wasn't the employee's
decision to leave the company. Layoffs could also be
considered involuntary terminations, though layoff
procedures usually are handled differently from termination.
Some layoffs have certain federal and state provisions that
aren't afforded to employees who are fired because of
performance or policy violations.
Voluntary Turnover
When an employee leaves the company of her own volition,
it's called voluntary termination. Employees give a number of
reasons for leaving their jobs. They may be accepting
employment with another company, relocating to a new
area or dealing with a personal matter that makes it
impossible to work. When an employee voluntarily terminates
the employment relationship, she generally gives the
employer verbal or written notice of intent to resign from her
job.
Desirable and Undesirable
Turnover
Turnover often has a negative connotation, yet turnover isn't
always a negative event. For example, desirable turnover
occurs an employee whose performance falls below the
12. 12 | P a g e
Submitted to: Sir Khawaja Imran
Submitted by: waQas ilYas(BA582702)
company's expectations is replaced by someone whose
performance meets or exceeds expectations. It's desirable
because poor job performance, absenteeism and tardiness
are costly -- replacing a poor performer with an employee
who does his job can improve the company's profitability.
Desirable turnover also occurs when replacing employees
infuses new talent and skills, which can give an organization
a competitive advantage. Conversely, undesirable turnover
means the company is losing employees whose
performance, skills and qualifications are valuable resources.
Turnover Calculations
Basic turnover calculations are relatively simple. If your
company employs 100 employees and 15 employees are
fired or quit, your turnover is 15 percent. Most organizations
use more detailed calculations to determine what underlies
turnover. Assume five employees leave in January, one
employee leaves in May and four employees leave in
November. Your annual turnover rate is 10 percent, and
your average monthly turnover is 8.3 percent. Employee
turnover calculations may also factor in different types of
turnover, such as involuntary and voluntary, or even more
specific reasons why employees leave, such as poor
performance, absenteeism or employees accepting new
jobs elsewhere. Turnover calculations are helpful to
determine hiring costs, training requirements or estimating
staff time devoted to recruitment activities.

Conclusion:
HBL is clearly the first choice of every one who believe in
qualitative approach of banking an environment of highly
responsible people. Bank is enjoying a healthy market share
and taste of good status in terms of its operative features
and customer support. HBL is clearly the best bank
operating in Pakistan. Personal loan is a distinguished
feature of HBL experiencing a good reputation and
reasonable mark up with respect to prevailing market mark
up with assurance of satisfaction and support. HBL has more
customers as compare to other banks, if they give proper
attention to every customer then in few years it will be the
leading bank of the country.
Recommendations:
The management should try to decrease job insecurity
among the employees.
Training program should be started for internees and
newly appointed employees.
There should be transport facility for the employees.
The number of employees should be increased in order
to decrease the workload.
The bank charges high service charges as compared to
the other banks, so these should be lowered down.

Surveys must be conducted regarding customer
satisfaction level and all employees of this dept. should
look forward to getting feedback whenever possible.
Adding of value added features that offer competitive
advantage is also a means of avoiding customer
dissatisfaction.
Quick response to customer queries is necessary to
maintain a healthy relationship with the customer.
Proper training of customer handling should be given to
employees. Training workshops and coaching clinics
should be considered as an option that would provide
adequate results.
