- 77% of employees who quit could have been retained by employers, according to the 2018 Retention Report by Work Institute
- In relation to job characteristics, 11.2% leave due to poor training and 14.7% due to limited resources that were promised at interview
- In relation to work environment, 34% felt culture-employee fit was not right
- first-year turnover has been the highest in 8 years with 50% leaving in the first 90 days of employment
