I value the experience that stays when fewer staff leave. I want that stability to translate into reliable service.
A measure of staff leaving, not employee happiness. Staff and management contribute to stability, not Council alone.

The published 2012 to 2025 series includes the City’s later restatements for 2014 and 2015. The 2025 figure is checked against page 55 of the Annual Report. Rates for 2010 and 2011 are unpublished and not estimated. Earlier lows include 4% in 2016, so 2025 is not a record. Labour markets, retirements and management are possible influences, not measured causes.
