Employee Turnover QS 2026

2026 Employee Turnover Quickie Survey, published by PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, examines how member companies benchmark and manage employee separations across revenue bands and tenure cohorts. Fielded May 2025–January 2026 among PMMI members, the survey draws on categorical and self‑reported measures to compare voluntary and involuntary turnover and departmental patterns. Focus areas include turnover drivers and retention, including better opportunity, compensation, and retirement; tenure‑related attrition and early‑service risk; and measurement practices such as turnover cost and high‑performer retention. The analysis indicates smaller firms and early‑tenure employees tend to show higher turnover, and charts highlight cross‑company benchmarks and emerging patterns. The report reveals where companies are prioritizing retention investments to strengthen workforce continuity.
