Balanced Turnover

Balanced Turnover

A framework for managing employee turnover, mobility, and talent upgrading as one integrated process.

Companies often treat turnover as something to minimize to zero. But too little turnover blocks internal mobility and starves a firm of new skills, while too much disrupts continuity and burns institutional knowledge. Balanced Turnover diagnoses a company's turnover and tenure patterns, plans the internal moves a departure should trigger, and identifies who's overdue for advancement: turning three separate HR problems into one integrated, healthy cycle.

The original Turnover, Mobility & Talent Upgrading: a short, single-sitting explanation of the framework, first published in 2013.
