High rates of employee turnover in Mexico are a wakeup call for businesses due to the costs of hiring and training new staff. It is important to explore the reasons behind the employee’s decision to change jobs. Studies have shown that employee turnover is associated with job satisfaction. These studies imply that if an employee decides to change jobs is because you are not satisfied with the one you currently have.
