Employee turnover is creating negative impact over revenue as well as profitability of company.
For instance, according to a study, it is identified that cost of company for losing an employee
earning is of $8 for an hour in retail chain. There are also some other cost associated with this
including hiring of new employees, training of employees, lower productivity, lost sales and
others. It create impact over revenue of a person that is depended on industry wages and position
of employees (Zhang and Li, 2020). There are different package is offered to employees which
create expense for company as there is no return on investment for some time. Management also

consider some other cost like labour cost in planing ads, review of application, interview as well
as training. There are some other organisation which are also utilising job placement service that
is also considered as expense and also some expense are related to lost of productivity. Existing
employees who have work experience are more productive for a firm in compare to employees
