One of the four hidden costs of labor turnover is that the work does not get done as quickly, which means a higher cost to get it done. Another hidden cost is loss of revenue due to items not being completed on time. There is also a ripple effect when someone leaves, it makes the entire company and team less effective. Finally, the company as a whole loses creditability when they cannot retain employees.
Labor turnover is the ratio of the number of workers replaced to the average number of workers employed during a given time period.
Union labor is usually a group with a low turnover. One advantage of a low turnover is that the labor force is better paid and more motivated to do a good job.
