Retention Rate – Interpretation Let’s use an actual example of the Retention Rate using the report. In this example, we will use Region 6 Services Completion date – July 1, 2002 through September 30, 2002 Total Retained 2 = Retention rate = 1 Total Exited and Placed = Click mouse button to advance to next slide
Retention Rate – Interpretation Services completed date Total exited and placed Retention rate Total retained Click mouse button to advance to next slide
Retention Rate – Interpretation Services Completion date – July 1, 2002 through September 30, 2002 Total retained 2 1,417 = Region 6 54.06% = Retention rate = 1 Total exited and placed = 2,621 How is a retention rate of 54.06% for Region 6 interpreted? A retention rate of 54.06% means that slightly over half of the participants completing services during July 1, 2002 through September 30, 2002 remained employed for four continuous quarters following the quarter after completing services.
