Balanced Turnover

Balanced Turnover

A framework for managing employee turnover, mobility, and talent upgrading as one integrated process: skills learned on the job managing talent inside a large financial firm.

Companies often treat turnover as something to minimize to zero. But too little turnover blocks internal mobility and starves a firm of new skills, while too much disrupts continuity and burns institutional knowledge. Balanced Turnover diagnoses a company's turnover and tenure patterns, plans the internal moves a departure should trigger, and identifies who's overdue for advancement: turning three separate HR problems into one integrated, healthy cycle.

The original Turnover, Mobility & Talent Upgrading: a short, single-sitting explanation of the framework, first published in 2013.
