While the average turnover for all industries in the United States sits at around 15 percent, the average turnover rate in the retail sector is slightly above 60 percent, according to the National Retail Federation. Even if your current employee turnover rate seems to be high compared to the industry, it's essential to focus on the impact you have made since joining your organization. For instance, perhaps your current employee turnover rate is at 54%. In that case, be sure to include the turnover rate before you took over the role. If the rate was 68%, then it will be apparent to your interviewers that you have made a positive impact.
