      In my point of view, the company should give the opportunity to their employees to grow & should help them to move in to next position.Then employees will become more loyal to company. This will helps to increase the moral among employees.

    Employee turnover is expensive and can have a negative impact on your company's bottom line. A lack of communication, support, and a positive business culture all contribute to high turnover. It is possible to reduce turnover and enhance engagement by ensuring that your employees have a fantastic experience with your firm.

    High employee turnover is a disaster for many organizations: the main causes of turnover are wage satisfaction, other benefits from the company, and alternative employment opportunities. It costs valuable time and money and can cause staff to lose morale. The company may face challenges due to lack of productivity and shortage of trained staff.

      I would like to add the "behavior of the superiors" will also affect to the high employee turnover. Even employees are being paid well, they are expecting a good working environment.
