The rate at which the labour force leaves a business.

labour turnover = workers leaving in a year / total workforce.

High labour turnover tends to indicate poor worker morale, and possibly poor wages. High labour turnover results in increased training costs and recruitment costs for a company.

On the flip side, low labour turnover is often the sign of a satisfied workforce, and helps keep administrative costs lower.
