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.

During the first three quarters of fiscal year 2024, MoDOT's turnover rate was 10.67%, which is slightly less than the turnover rate of 10.68% for the first three quarters of FY 2023, resulting in a decrease of .01%. For the first three quarters of FY 2024, MoDOT had a total of 487 employee separations from the department compared to 485 separations during the first three quarters of FY 2023, resulting in an increase of two 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.
