What is staff turnover?

Staff turnover is a metric that measures the rate at which employees leave and are replaced within an organisation over a specified period. 

Turnover rate is calculated by dividing the number of departed employees by the average number of employees during the same period. 

 

What causes a high staff turnover rate? 

High staff turnover often suggests challenges within a company, such as dissatisfaction, lack of engagement, or deep-seated issues in workplace culture. 

Understanding the concept of staff turnover and what contributes to high turnover rates, is absolutely essential for organisations that want to create happy and robust teams. By knowing the reasons behind employee departures, you can (and will) implement more effective employee retention strategies to mitigate staff turnover and build a sustainable and thriving work environment. 

But coming to those findings is a journey – and one that HR teams should look to engagement software to help them on the way.

 

How to improve staff retention with employee engagement software 

Without cold hard data giving you insights to how your team is truly feeling and thinking, you won’t be able to move the staff turnover needle within your workplace. 

An employee engagement software (like Stribe) is what’s needed for busy HR teams that don’t have time to bury themselves in spreadsheets, but want to make a difference and improve their staff retention strategies. 

Here are five key features of Stribe that are going to help you do just that!

 

  • Pulse Surveys

Pulse surveys are your most powerful tool for gathering employee feedback and implementing that feedback to reduce staff turnover. 

The proactive nature of Stribe’s pulse surveys allows you to regularly capture real-time insights into employee sentiments and swiftly identify and address issues that may impact staff retention. 

With easy-to-build, targeted survey campaigns and actionable insights that are presented visually – you won’t be navigating in the dark. The feature does all the heavy lifting for you, so you can focus on actioning results and to create a more fulfilling experience for your employees.

 

  • You Said, We Did

You Said, We Did is a unique feature to Stribe which allows you to share results and data with your teams after a survey has ended, while also letting them know what actions you will be taking in future off-the-back of that data. 

Employees can react with a thumbs up or thumbs down to your YSWD message – or give further feedback if they wish. 

The tool is special because it allows you to simultaneously acknowledge and address employee feedback. By doing so, you showcase a commitment to continuous improvement based on employee input – and this genuine responsiveness and transparency to staff concerns is what truly builds a supportive work environment. 

This, we know, ultimately improves satisfaction and the likelihood of loyal, long-term employees.

 

  • Recognition Shouts-outs

Recognition is one of the easiest and most reliable ways to boost your teams’ spirits, improve motivation and win over their long-term loyalty. 

Stribe’s employee recognition tool is built in a way so that success can be shared. Because when acknowledgment and appreciation come from peers (as wll as managers), it significantly strengthens team relationships and retention. 

The feature is as easy as anything to use – simply select who you want to recognise, tell them why you’re giving them a shout-out, and click send! This training video will show you how.

 

  • Anonymous Messenger

Do you know if the employees at your place of work truly feel safe to speak up? If they don’t – you’ll never have access to the thoughts and experiences needed to make real, positive change in the workplace and to your staff turnover. 

Think about it. Without a trusted channel of communication for your team members to speak up safely and anonymously about their challenges – will they stay, or will they go? 

At Stribe our stance on anonymity is strong, and we don’t waver on that. We protect employees first and foremost and they have the power of anonymity in their hands. 

That’s why our anonymous messenger tool is as protected as possible. It allows your staff to send in their thoughts on workplace matters instantly, without the anxiety of scheduling a meeting in the diary or waiting days for a face-to-face. 

And from an admin perspective – you can respond, act, and remedy situations fast so they don’t escalate. This feature keeps your team’s wellbeing and trust at the forefront.
