how can you have a turnover rate over 100%?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a turnover rate over time. If everyone quit and had to be replaced in a day you'd be at 100%. Anything after that is over 100% for the year.

I've seen rates of 150% bandied around for Amazon. That means replacing 12.5% of your total headcount on average monthly.

I'm not great with math so please let me know if I'm understanding this right:

  1. Company has 100 employees
  2. All 100 employees quit
  3. Company gets 100 new employees as replacement

= 100% turnover rate

Then...

  1. Company has the 100 new employees
  2. 50 of the new employees quit
  3. Company gets 50 new employees as replacement

= 150% turnover rate

and so on?

Turnover rates are usually described annually. If a company has to replace it's whole staff twice in a year, that's a 200% annual turnover rate.
