ABSTRACT
Labour Turnover, alternatively called Labour Maintenance, Labour Recruitment or Labour Wastage, is the fluctuation in the personnel of an organization. It is measured, for any given year, by the number of persons hired to replace persons leaving the working force, taken in relation to the total number employed on the average. Thus, if four hundred persons were hired during the year to replace persons who were leaving or had left a factory employing five hundred on the average in a given year, the turnover rate would be said to be 80 per cent.
