Voluntary Turnover Rate

About this Indicator:

The voluntary turnover rate measures the percentage of full-time and permanent part-time employees who resign or retire from the City. This metric is crucial for municipal governments as it affects service continuity and the retention of valuable institutional knowledge.

Notes on Recent Performance:

The voluntary turnover rate includes the number of full-time and permanent part-time resignations and retirements. The City’s turnover rate of 5.8 per cent exceeds the City’s green target of 7 per cent or lower. The organization’s turnover rate has dropped back to what it was before the pandemic.
