Comparing the Size of Employee Commitment Groups
/ BPA AnalyticsOne concrete measure of Employee Commitment is the number of years an employee intends to stay with the organisation.
Each organisation has 4 groups of employees based on how much of their future working life they are prepared to commit to the organisation.
Short-term Commitment – This group intends to stay up to 1 or even 2 years, but no more than that.
Undecided Commitment – This group is not willing to commit to either a short or a long time with the organisation.
Medium-term Commitment – This group intends to stay with the organisation between 3 and 10 years.
Long-term Commitment – This group intends to stay with the organisation for more than 10 years.
The average size of each Commitment Group is shown in the pie-chart below (data drawn from 146,501 employees over the past 10 years).
The take-out from this is: “If you want workforce stability, then your People Strategies will need to cater for the differing requirements of each Commitment Group.”
Getting you to this point is something that BPA does with its PowerBI data visualisation and reporting.
