Explore the data  

Use the tabs to explore different factors which affect turnover, such as recruitment and retention, pay, and demographics. The analysis shows the association between each variable and the turnover rate of selected job roles. Organisational factors affect turnover as well as individual circumstances, therefore the variables presented here are not necessarily the cause for a worker to leave their role.

The information (i) button provides useful notes about the data, while the Download PowerPoint button lets you save a screenshot of the visualisation for use in your own presentations. Each tab also includes a glossary for reference.

Below the data visualisation, you can access the full analysis in Section 9 of ‘The state of the adult social care sector and workforce in England’ report and find out about our methodology.
