Confirmation Phase: PwC’s research data show that the highest percentage of turnover occurs in the first 12 to 18 months of employment. Key reasons include poor job-skill fit, disillusionment with the company, work duties, supervisors, or coworkers. Consolidation Phase: Voluntary turnover in the 24 to 36 month period is often due to poor skill utilization, unrewarding incentives and recognition, poor work/life balance, disillusionment with the company image and leadership, and perceived lack of growth. High- performance employees particularly value strong leadership performance and business results, development of "hot" skill, and competitive reward and incentives. Revitalization Phase: Career stagnation and lack of job fulfillment often drive voluntary turnover after the 48th month. This is of particular concern for high tech companies, where there is often minimal career growth opportunity available beyond one’s technical career track. A common complaint of high-tech engineers is that there is not much career challenge or excitement to look forward to once they have mastered their jobs. 1 A New Century’s Mandate HR Advisory by Tom Casey/Boston Massachusetts & Ardeshir Mehran/San Francisco, California Content Author/Owner: Lisa Stilwell-LF Last Revised on 7/03/00 by Lisa Miller-LN Retention Limit: Until Superseded Copyright © 1999, Procter & Gamble, All rights reserved. .
