Write Up:

When employees leave MoDOT, the department loses a significant investment in recruiting, hiring and training its workforce. Turnover is costly and impacts the performance of work groups and the organization. While some turnover is certain, 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.

For the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, MoDOT's turnover rate was 3.60% which is slightly lower than the first quarter of FY 2024 turnover rate of 4.02%. This change resulted in a decrease of 0.42%. For the first quarter of FY 2025, MoDOT had 170 employee separations from the department compared to 181 separations during the first quarter of FY 2024 which resulted in a decrease of 11 separations.

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