BREAKING AWAY FROM REPORTS
We need to find the connections: ! Understand: what is the real situation? Do we have a problem? ! Hypothesize: what factors do we believe are impacting resignations? ! Test: is there a relationship? Yes, then understand…
Common approaches: ! Turnover rate ! Turnover by
organization ! Voluntary turnover
