involuntary on the part of the
employee, such as through layoffs or
the sale of a business unit to another
organization
 Other outflows are voluntary in that
they are initiated by the employee,
such as leaving the organization to
take another job
Minimize the types of turnover in
which valued employees leave which
is a voluntary-avoidable turnover
Through various retention strategies
and tactics, the organization can
combat these types of turnover,
seeking to retain those employees it
thinks it cannot afford to lose
