Frequently Asked Questions
Why use average headcount?
Average headcount gives a simple denominator that reflects changes between the beginning and end of the period.
Should internal transfers count as separations?
Use the separation definition adopted by your organization and apply it consistently.
Is turnover the same as retention?
They are related but not identical measures; hiring and cohort definitions can make retention calculations different.
