Voluntary turnover occurs when employees initiate the decision to leave the organization, which is not preferred by the organization. This is in contrast to involuntary turnover, which occurs when employees are terminated or laid off by the organization. Dysfunctional turnover refers to the departing of low-performing employees, which can actually benefit the organization. Retentive turnover refers to the departing of employees who have reached retirement age or for whom retention is not desired by the organization. External turnover refers to the departing of employees who leave to pursue other opportunities outside of the organization.
