<p class="MsoNormal">Good Afternoon Everyone, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope everyone is doing well. Here in Tennessee, we’ve been building a dashboard to house and share our HR Human Capital Management (HCM) data. Within this system, we are trying to establish data-driven benchmarks for our turnover rates.
We are hoping to collect data from other states so that we can create benchmarks for statewide turnover, turnover amongst generational groups, turnover amongst ethnic groups, and turnover within individual departments.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To this end, I have created a survey that will hopefully serve as a simple method to collect and compile this information. You can
<a href="https://stateoftennessee.formstack.com/forms/state_gov_hcm_benchmarking">
click this link</a> to be taken to the survey, I am also going to share the full URL below. Once inside the survey form, you will be asked to provide the average headcounts and total terminations for the Executive Branch in 2019 for FT and PT employees. You
will also be asked to provide the same information for each of the individual generational groups and ethnic groups.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The biggest section of this survey is departmental headcounts and turnover counts. I have listed each of Tennessee’s Executive Branch agencies along with a description. You will be able to identify your state’s equivalent department (if
there is one) and the average headcount and termination numbers for that agency. In the case that Tennessee does not have a match for one of your agencies, there are opportunities to have those agencies included as well.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally, there are a few quick follow up questions to help us with a couple other benchmarks. If at any point you need to close the survey and continue later, there is a link at the bottom of the form to save your answers. It will provide
a new link for you to use. If you do not utilize this link, your answers will be lost.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would be happy to share this information with everyone when it is all collected. If this works as well as I hope, I plan on sending this out at least annually. If you could, I would love to have your submissions by
