Background of the Study
Employee turnover, the rate at which employees leave an organization and are replaced, is a critical issue for businesses across all sectors, especially in the banking industry. High turnover can lead to increased recruitment and training costs, reduced productivity, and lower employee morale. Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB), one of Nigeria’s leading financial institutions, operates in a highly competitive environment where talent acquisition and retention are key factors in maintaining operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. In Kano State, the bank faces challenges in retaining skilled employees, which could potentially affect the overall performance and profitability of its operations.
The financial implications of employee turnover are significant, as they include not only direct costs like recruitment, onboarding, and training but also indirect costs such as lost productivity and the potential negative impact on customer service (Ogunleye & Adebayo, 2024). While the bank has implemented various retention strategies, including competitive compensation packages and career development opportunities, turnover remains a concern. This study aims to analyze the causes of employee turnover at Guaranty Trust Bank in Kano State, evaluate its financial impact, and explore potential strategies to mitigate these effects.

The financial consequences of this turnover, particularly in terms of recruitment, training, and lost productivity, have raised concerns among management. Despite efforts to improve employee satisfaction and retention, the bank continues to experience turnover at rates higher than the industry average. This study seeks to analyze the underlying causes of employee turnover at Guaranty Trust Bank in Kano State, evaluate the financial implications, and provide recommendations for reducing turnover.
