HR resignation levels increased in 2017

No firm wants a high turnover – it’s costly, time-consuming and it damages morale. Whilst it’s often incumbent on HR to showcase to employees why it’s worth staying, data from XpertHR found that the department itself suffered from an influx of notice letters this year. 

The data, which looked at resignation and labour turnover rates, found that HR had the fourth highest voluntary resignation levels out of the groups measured this year, with rates of 8.2% - up from 7.4% in 2016 and 6.3% in 2015. Total labour turnover in HR was in fact, revealed as the third highest at 12%, falling behind publishing and events at 17% and distribution at 13.5%.
