3. Exits
Data source:
Resource Management.
Time period and availability:
Latest data covers the period from 1 April 2013 to 31 March 2014.
Data for 2011 followed different classifications and so is not directly comparable.
What does this tell us?
The data presented here shows the reasons why employees leave the Department against their status in relation to each of the following protected characteristics: age; disability; ethnicity; and gender. The results indicate that the main reasons for leaving are due to early exits, retirement and resignation. The resignation percentage broadly declines with increasing age and tends to be replaced by retirement in the 55 and above age groups. Early exits concentrate in the 50 to 59 age range. The larger percentages of dismissals are found in the 45 to 54 age groups. Compared with the 2013 report, the percentages of total leavers have increased in the 50 and above age groups. Early exits show a large increase, which has an effect on the values of the other categories of leavers.
How will an improvement be shown?
A decrease in the percentage does not necessarily constitute an improvement, as the decision by an individual to leave the organisation is impacted by a range of personal factors. Percentages could also be different where the age distributions of the various groups vary.
