xxix) Staff Turnover

Generally, it is assumed that staff turnover is linked with feckless workers. On the other hand, it has been claimed (Fiona Smith, 2010n) that most workers would prefer to stay where they are as they realize that changing jobs is stressful, as it involves

- ditching all networks of colleagues

- having to form new networks

- having to learn new systems and processes

- having to prove yourself to a new organisation

- having to commute to a new location.

Thus, staff turnover is more associated with lazy management and/or delaying of management levels has left no one to consider career planning, etc.
