1. Introduction
Leaving? Why do people leave companies? Labour turnover is a serious problem for many companies across all UK industries, and is also very costly. This case study looks into the retail industry and specifically into one store, which is part of a large retail outlet group. For security reasons the company cannot be named and will therefore be referred to throughout the piece as Company X.
