Job turnover and separation rates have slowed down based on evidence from the UK and other OECD countries. There are several potential explanations for this trend, including the impact of the recession, changes in workforce demographics, more effective recruitment practices, and employees being less dissatisfied with their current roles. The implications of lower job mobility include the possibility of turnover increasing again as economies recover, organizations having to promote internal mobility and fresh thinking rather than relying on external hires, and achieving a potentially more stable workforce.
