If the retention rate in July is 90 percent what is the annualized percentage rate of retention?
Retention rate should not be annualized like turnover. Retention
is based on specific individuals for a specific measurement period,
i.e.Retention should being calculated as indicated below:
# of Associates remaining Active at the end of the measurement
period that were Active at the beginning of the measurement period/
# of Associates at the beginning of the measurement period.
**The actual Associate that was employed as of the first day of
the measurement period is taken into account not the number of
hires that may have been termed during the measurement period.
