Importance of Retention

Supervisors at BYU have noticed that some student employees leave soon after training. Student positions are inherently temporary, but some departments have discovered how to improve retention. The costs of turnover in the general workforce range between 30 and 200 percent of the annual costs associated with each position. In most cases, increases in the retention of student employees reduce costs and increase both productivity and morale.
