Write Up:

When employees leave MoDOT, the department loses a significant investment in recruiting, hiring and training its workforce. Turnover is costly, and it impacts the performance of work groups and the organization. While some turnover is natural, MoDOT's goal is to retain an engaged workforce that has the knowledge and specialized skills to deliver the department’s commitments and provide outstanding customer service.

During the first two quarters of fiscal year 2024, MoDOT's turnover rate was 7.01% compared to a turnover rate of 6.75% for the first two quarters of FY 2023, resulting in an increase of .26%. For the first two quarters of FY 2024, MoDOT had a total of 327 separations from the department compared to 311 separations during the first two quarters of FY 2023, resulting in an increase of 16 separations.    

As part of MoDOT’s strategic initiatives and pay strategy, the department will continue to look for opportunities to reduce the rate of employee turnover.
