Comparing the turnover rate of 23% in 2024 to 26.9% in 2023, we’ve seen a significant reduction. This marks a positive outcome of our ongoing efforts to boost employee engagement and enhance retention.
While turnover has decreased, the industry, as a whole, still faces high attrition rates. Factors such as the nature of shift work, the global skills shortage, and intense competition for talent continue to play a significant role.
We are fully committed to addressing these challenges with targeted strategies, such as improving employee engagement, offering comprehensive training programs, and providing competitive compensation packages to strengthen retention and maintain a stable, motivated workforce.
