Cement
Introduction
In the most general sense of the word, cement is a binder, a substance which
sets and hardens independently, and can bind other materials together.
Cement used in construction is characterized as hydraulic or non-hydraulic.
Hydraulic cements (e.g. Portland cement) harden even underwater or when
constantly exposed to wet weather while non-hydraulic cements (e.g. lime
and gypsum plaster) must be kept dry in order to gain strength.
The most important use of cement is the production of mortar and concrete
used by the construction and real estate sectors. The world production of
hydraulic cement is dominated by China (1.2 billion MT), followed by India
and Brazil, with these 3 countries contributing to over half of global
production. There are a number of employment opportunities within the
sector such as site engineer, packaging engineer, surveyor, geologist,
contractor, and supervisor amongst others.
Typically, the industry is characterized by few large players due to the high
entry barriers such as economies of scale, high capital requirements, long
gestational period of over 3 years and the need for capacity augmentation in
large increments. These producers tend to have high bargaining power due
to their limited numbers and the lack of any substitutes for their product,
which is quintessential for secondary industries. The largest global players
are Lafarge (France), Holcim (Switzerland) and Cemex (USA).
Performance
India is the world’s 2nd largest producer of cement after China with an
industry capacity of over 200 MT. The cement industry in India is one
amongst the fastest growing sectors due to the rapid development of
infrastructure and real estate projects in the country, with 2008’s domestic
consumption growing ~10% YoY. The Southern and Central regions saw
maximum consumption growth (~16% and ~14% respectively) whereas the
North and Eastern lagged behind, with lacklustre growth (~4% and ~2%
respectively).
1
The industry consists of both the organized sector and the unorganized
sector. The largest organized sector companies include Ambuja Cements Ltd,
J.K Cement Ltd, Grasim Industries Ltd, Associated Cement Company Ltd
(ACC) and Madras Cement Ltd. while the main players of the unorganized
sector are the regional and local cement producing units across various
states. Some of the states where the cement industry is booming are
Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan.
The significant growth trajectory of the industry has attracted a lot of foreign
interest in the recent few years, with Holcim increasing its stake in Ambuja
Cement from 22% to 56% and leading foreign funds investing in a 7.5%
stake in India’s 3d largest cement company, India Cements (ICL) valued at
US$125 million.
Growth Potential
Prospects for the industry remain bright over the coming years, given India’s
dominance of global markets and relatively low cost of production. Also, the
overall economic prosperity of the country, with a burgeoning middle class,
growing infrastructure demand, significant technological change and
increasing government spending all bode well for the future. On the flip side,
some caution has to be maintained due to the current demand- supply gap
leading to over capacity and falling margins and prices. Also, given the close
linkages between them, the effect of a slowdown in global real estate and
infrastructure demand or hike in interest rates should also be evaluated.
Future Prospects
According to the recent surveys, one metric ton of cement generates job
opportunities for around 1.4 million people. In most cases, one needs to have
some type of expertise in architecture in order to get a good job in this
sector. Given that most of the jobs for qualified graduates have a good pay
package with other benefits and perks coupled with positive growth
prospects, working in the cement industry is considered a lucrative career
option for new graduates, especially for those with an interest in
architecture.
It is believed that in the coming years, more than 2.5 million people will be
directly employed by cement companies. To cater to this growing demand, a
number of colleges and educational institutes have introduced various
1
courses and study programs related to the cement industry such as a ‘Post
Graduate Diploma in Cement Technology’.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
RATIO:
1
RATIO ANALYSIS;-
Financial ratios are calculated from one or more prices of information from a company’s
financial statements. A financial ratio can given a financial analyst an excellent picture of a
company’s situation and the trends that are developing.
Credit analysts, those interpreting the financial ratios from the prospects of a lender, focus on the
“downside” risk since they gain none of the upside from an improvement in operations. They pay
great attention to liquidity and leverage ratio to ascertain a company’s financial risk. Equity
analysts look more to the operational and profitability ratios, to determine the future profits that
will accrue to the shareholder.
Although financial ratio analysis is well-developed and the actual ratios are well-known,
practicing financial analysts often develop their own measures for particular industries and even
individual companies. Analysts often differ drastically in there conclusions from the same ratio
analysis.
• It is compared with the same ratio in previous financial statements (trend analysis)
1
ADVANTAGES OF RATIO ANALYSIS;-
Financial statement like profit and loss account and balance sheet are prepared at the end of the
year do not always conveys to the reader the real profitability and financial health of the
business. They contain various fact and figures and it is for the reader to conclude, whether these
facts indicate a good or bad managerial performance. Ratio analysis is the most important tool of
the analysis these financial statements. The figures then speak of liquidity, solvency by a
profitability etc., of the business enterprices.Some important object and advantage derived by a
firm by the use of accounting ratios are:-
Helpful in forecasting.
Effective control
Window dressing.
CLASSFICATION OF RATIO:-
1
According ratios or financial ratio has been classified in various ways according to
different purposes in view. However, we shall discuss the classification according to
annual financial statement and according to annual financial statement and according to
objectives.
1.Balancesheets Ratio or position Statement ratios:.-These are the ratios which explain
The numerical relationships between two figures in the balance sheet, e.g,the ratio of
current assets or current liabilities or the ratio between capital and total assets. This is
also called financial ratio. The most common amongst the balance sheet ratio are:
• CURRENT RATIO
• PROPERIETARY RATIO
2.Income statement Ratio or Profit and Loss Account Ratios:-These explain the numerical
relationships between two items of group of items of the P & L A/C. The item should refer to the
same statement. The more common Ratio under these head are.
• OPERATING RATIO
• EXPENSES RATIO
3. Composite Ratio:-These ratios are based on the figure of the postions.Statement as well as
income statement e.g. .
• Fixed assets.
1
B.Classification of ratio on the basis of the objective.:-
• Solvency Ratios
• Activity
• Profitability Ratio
• Investment Ratio
A. LIQUIDITY RATIO;-
Liquidity refers to the ability of a firm to meet its short-term financial obligation when
and as they fall due. Thus a liquidity ratio measures the firm’s ability to fulfil short-item
commitment out of its liquid assets.
Liquidity ratios are not only useful for the short-item creditor of the firm who are
interested in receiving the payment of their dues but also useful for the management of the firm
who are responsible to give the payment. The ratios are cold liquidity ratio because they give an
indication of the degree of liquidity or “money less” of the current assets of the company.
Current Assets
SIGNIFICANCE;-
1
The current ratio can give a sense of the efficiency of a company’s operating cycle or its
ability to turn its product into cash .Companies that have trouble getting paid on their
receivables or have long inventory turnover can run into liquidity problems because they
are unable to alleviate their obligations.
This ratio is used to assess the firm’s ability to meet its short term liabilities on time
accounting – to accounting principles; a current ratio of 2:1 is supposed to be an ideal
ratio. The reason of assuming 2:1 as the ideal ratio is that the current assets include such
assets include such assets as stock, debtors etc,from which full amount cannot be released
in case of need. Hence, even if half the amount is released from the current assets on
time, the firm can still meet its current liabilities in full.
COMMENTS:-
In 2006 Mangalam Cement ltd, gas Rs 2.26 to pay Rs 1 which is more than ideal ratio.
This or more than this ratio is good for investor’s point of view.
In 2007 & 2008 current ratio of Mangalam Cement ltd fell down to 1.34 &1.55 this is
less than idel ratio. These low numeric values of ratio do not indicate a good sign from
investor’s especially for sundry creditors. Company has to concentrate on company‘s
liquidity problem.
Liquid Assets
Quick Ratio=…………………….
Current Liabilities
SIGNIFICANCE:-
1
An ideal Quick Ratio is said to be 1:1.If is more it is considered to be better. The idea for
every rupee of current liabilities, there should at least be one rupee of liquid assets.
Companies with ratios of less than 1 cannot pay their current liabilities and should be
looked at with extreme caution .Furthermore, if the acid-test ratio is much lower than the
working capital ratio; it means current assets are highly dependent on inventory. Retail
stores are the example of this type of business.
YEAR 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10
Current Assets(1) 4399.17 5416.73 7748.98 6,050.22 10721.32
Inventories(2) 548.39 1612.64 2614.40 1300.60 2374.84
Liquid Asset(1)-(2) 3850.48 3804.09 5134.58 4749.62 8346.48
Current Liabilities 2452.00 2999.61 4502.99 5065.11 7062.10
Quick Ratio 1.57 1.26 1.14 0.93 1.18
COMMENTS:-
In 2006 Samtel glass ltd has ability to meet their cash demand but in 2007,the numeric
value of ratio is less than their ideal value which sow that company was suffering from
cash problem. These Data of ratio is not good for those creditors’ who give short-term
loan to company. Now in 2008 ,company again starts playing its attention towards this
problem of liquidity as a result there is appreciable improvement in quick ratio.
1) DEBT-EQUITY RATIO:-
1
a) External Equities:-These include all the long term and short term debt such as,
debenture, Mortgage loan, Bank loan, Public Deposits and all the current liabilities.
DEBT
DEBT-EQUATIY RATIO= ----------------------
EQUITY
SIGNIFICANCE:-
This ratio is calculated to assess the ability of the firm to meet its long-term liabilities.
Generally debt-equity ratio of 1.1 is considered safe. If the debt-equity ratio is more than
that, it shows a rather risky financial position from the long –term point of view. As it
indicates that more of the funds invested in the business are provided by outside
creditors.
COMMENTS:-
In Mangalam Cement ltd the value of debt-equity ratio is more than 1. On the other hand,
return to company is not high so that debt become beneficial for company .It is a burden on
Company. In 2008 company shows some fall in this ratio but this improvement is not much
appreciable.
2) PROPRIETORY RATIO:-
1
This is the ratio which shows the relationship of internal equity with the total assets. This ratio
indicates the proportion of total funds provided by a firm from internal sources it is.
SIGNIFICANCE:-
This ratio should be more than 50% in other word the proportion of shareholder funds to total
funds should be more than 50% a higher proprietary ratio is generally treated as indicator of
sound financial position from long term point of view, because it means that the firm is less
dependent on external source of finance.
COMMENTS:-
1
In Mangalam Cement Ltd ,Proprietory Ratio is same which is less than 1 or 50%.The low
valueof ratio indicates the unsound financial position of company. It is not good for Long term
prospects. Company has to take certain steps to Equity portion of this ratio.
Total debt comprises of long term debt & current liabilities &Total Assets comprises
of permanent capital and current assets.
While calculating total assets all the intangible assets appearing on the assets side
of the Balance sheets should be deducted such as preliminary expenses
Underwriting Commission debt balance of P & L A/c. This ratio indicates the
proportion of total funds acquired by a firm by outside sources.
Total Debt
DEBT-ASSET RATIO=--------------------------
Total Assets
SIGNFICANCE:-
The ratio should be less than 50% in other words the proportion of outside funds
assets should be less than 50% A higher ratio than this is generally treated an
indicator of risky financial position, because it means that the firm depends too
much upon outside loans for its existence. Payment of interest may become
difficult if profit is reduced. Hence, good concerns keep the debt –total assets. The
lowers the ratio, the better it is from the long-term solvency point of view.
1
FIXED ASSETS(1) 17513.93 15844.49 13785.05
CAPITAL WIP(2) 210.58 373.17 251.56
PROPERATING 541.05 0 0

TOTAL DEBT 18806.66 1621.71 14036.64
DEBT-ASSET 1.03 1.00 1.00
RATIO
COMMENTS:-
It is appreciable ratio for Samtel Glass Ltd.It should be less than 1 or 50%.This
shows that company has strong financial position. If the Company has more total
assets then it is good for their long term financing.
3) INTREST COVERAGE RATIO.
The interest coverage ratio is a measurement of the number of times a company
could make its interest payments with its earnings before interest and taxes ;the
lower the ratio the higher the company’ debt burden
Earnings before interest& tax
SIGNIFICANCE:-
For bond holders, the interest coverage ratio is supposed to act as safety gauge. It gives you a
sense of how far a company’s earning can fall before it will start defaulting on its bond
payments. For stockholders, the interest coverage ratio is important because it gives a clear
picture of the short –term financial health of business.
1
Earnings before tax and 1586.15 -1567.63 -66.42
Interest
Interest coverage Ratio 1.42 -1.31 -0.06
COMMENTS:-
In 2005, interest coverage ratio of Samtel glass ltd was 1.42 which is low below standard for investor’s
point of view. Company has negative interest coverage ratio which shows that company is not able to pay
its interest obligation. It also shows that company has weak short-term financial health.
Average stock
Or
= Sales-Gross Profit
1
2
SIGNIFICANCE:-
This ratio indicates whether stock has been efficiently used on not it shows the speed with which
the stock is rotated into sales or the number of times the stock is turned into sales during the year.
The higher the ratio the better it is since it indicates that stock is selling quickly in a business
where stock turnover ratio is high. Goods can be sold at a low margin of profit and even
profitability may be quite high .A low stock turnover ratio indicates that stock does not sell
quickly and remain lying in the go down for quite a long time.
COMMENTS:-
In 2008, Mangalam Cement ltd has appreciably increased their stock turnover ratio .It is more
than double in 2008 than 2007. It proves that their sales increase during this period. Stocks are
converted into sells quickly even the profit margin increases.
1
2) DEBTOR’S TURNOVER RATIO OR RECEIVABLE TURNOVER
RATIO:-
This Ratio indicates between credit sales and average debtors during the year:-
Bills receivable are added in Debtors for the purpose of calculations of this ratio. Avg Debtors
are calculated by adding the debtors and B/R at the beginning of a period as well as at the end of
the period and by dividing the total by 2.While calculating this ratio provision for bad and
doubtful debts is not deducted from total debtors so that it may not give a false impression that
debtors are collected quickly.
SIGNIFICANCE:-
This ratio indicates the speed with which the amount is collected from debtors. The higher the
ratio the better it is since it indicates that amount from debtors’ is being collected more quickly.
The more quickly the debtors pay the less the risk from bad debts and so the lower the expenses
of collection and increase liquidity form.
By Maintaining accounts receivable, firms are indirectly extending interest- free loan to their
clients. A high ratio implies either that a company operates on cash basis or that its extension of
credit and collection of accounts receivable is efficient.
A low ratio implies the company should re-asses its credit policies in order to ensure the timely
collection of imparted credit that is not earning interest for the firm.
COMMENTS:-
1
In Mangalam Cement ltd., Debtors turnover ratio is continually increases which are good for a
company. It indicates that company operates its function either on cash basis or collection of
account receivable is Efficient. Here Company is facing low risk of bad debt.
This Ratio indicates the time within which the amount is collected from debtors and bills
receivables. Average Collection period may be calculated alternatively as follows:-
AVERAGE DEBTORS
AVERAGE COLLECTION PERIOD= ------------------------------------- x 365
TOTAL CREDIT SALES
SIGNIFIACNCE:-
This ratio shows the time which customers are paying for credit sales. In the above example the
average collection period is 30 days, it means that on average if a sales is made today, the cash
will be collected actually after 30 days i.e., 30 days credit sales are looked up in debtors.
Increase in the ratio indicates the excessive blockage of fund with debtors, which increases the
change of bad debts.
COMMENTS:-
In Mangalam Cement Ltd above data shows that in 2007 company got success in decreasing its
average collection period but in 2008 it again increases which is not a good sign for company. It
indicates that there is a blockage of fund with debtors. More the Average collection Period ,
more is the chance of bad debt.
1
4) CREDITORS TURNOVER RATIO OR ACCOUNT PAYABLE
TURNOVER RATIO:-
A short-term liquidity measure used to quantity the rate at which a company pays off its
suppliers. Account payable turnover ratio is calculated by taking the total purchase made
from suppliers and dividing it by the average accounts payable amount during the same
period.
TOTAL PURCHASE
CREADITORS TURNOVER RATIO = --------------------------------------
AVG.ACCOUNT PAYABLE
SIGNIFICANCE:-
The measure shows investor how many times per period the company pays its average
payable amount if the turnover ratio is falling from one period to another, this is sign that the
company is taking longer to pay off its suppliers than it was before.
COMMENTS: -
1
In 2007 company had decrease its pay-off creditors which again increases in 2008. This indicates
that company has increases its pay –off turnover in a year. It is a good sign to creditors as pay –
off period decreases.
SALES
WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER= -------------------------------
WORKING CAPITAL
NET SALES
CURRENT ASSETS 6401.20 6050.22 5458.42
CURRENT 2833.20 4506.68 3517.61
LIABILITIES

CAPITAL
WORKING 3.99 5.92 5.95
CAPITAL
TURNOVER
COMMENTS:-
1
During the previous three year Samtel Glass Ltd., shows improvement in working capital
turnover. This ratio is concerned with the effective use of working capital & indicates the
number of times capital is changed into Sales. In 2007, current liabilities of company increased
due to which working capital also decreased in the same year. In 2008, net sales increased in
same manner in which working capital increases that indicate the some improvement in use of
working capital.
This ratio expresses the relationships between total assets and net sales. It is calculated
using the following formula:-
NET SALES
TOTAL ASSETS
SIGNIFICANCE:-
Assets turnover ratio measures a firm’s efficiency at using its assets in generating sales or
revenue the higher the number the better. It also indicates pricing strategy: companies with low
profit margins tend to have high assets turnover, while those with high profit margins have low
asset turnover.
1
COMMENTS:-
Mangalam Cement ltd. Does not use their total assets effectively to increase their profit margins
& sales. In 2007 this ratio decrases vigorously which shows that sales were not increases to make
efficient utilization of resources.
This ratio expresses the relationships between fixed assets less depreciation and net sales
or cost of goods sold. This formula used for calculating this ratio is as follows.
SIGNIFICANCE:-
This ratio of particular importance in manufacturing concerns where the investments in fixed
assets are being utilized compared with the previous year, if there is increase in this ratio, it will
indicate that there is better utilization of fixed assets.
COMMENTS:-
1
On the basis of mentioned data, Mangalam Cement Ltd does not utilize their fixed assets
efficiently. Sales do not occurs according to capacity of fixed assets. Management has to take
some critical steps for the improvements of this ratio.
This ratio shows the relationships between current assets and net sales or cost of good
sold. It is calculated by using the following formula:-
SALES
CURRENT ASSSETS TURNOVER RATIO = ------------------------------
CURRENT ASSETS
SIGNIFICANCE:-
This Ratio reflects the efficiency and capacity of working capital. It is very useful
techniques for non-manufacturing unit regarding lesser working capital.
COMMENTS:-
In Mangalam Cement ltd. 2007 data shows the ratio of current assets turnover decreases
& again in 2008 it increases. These figure show that company do not utilize working
capital efficiently.
D. PROFITABILITY RATIO:-
The main object of ever business concern is to earn profits. A business must be able to
earn adequate profits in relation to the capital invested in it. The efficiency and the
1
success of a business can be measured with the help of profitability ratios. We can
understand more about these ratios by categorized it into the following two:
1. Ratio calculated on the basis of sales-{Net Sales means (sales + income from
service)} these are as follows.
This ratio measured the relationships net profit and sales of a firm. Net profit is the
excess of revenue over expenses during a particular accounting period. The net profit
ratio is determined by dividing the net profit by sales an expressed as percentage. The
formula used is as follow.
SIGNIFICANCE:-
This ratio is the indication of overall profitability and efficiency of the business. This ratio not
only reveals the recovery of cost and expenses from the revenue of the period but also to leave a
margin of reasonable compensation to owners for providing capital at their risk a high net profit
ratio would only mean adequate returns to the owners.
COMMENTS:-
In Mangalam Cement ltd. Net sales do not show appreciable rise & cost of production is
continuously increases due to which there was slight profit margin 2005 but after that
company shows losses. It is not good from shareholders point of view.
2) OPERATING RATIO:-
1
It is calculated by subtracting all direct and indirect expenses relating to main
business from net sales.
Operating Profit
Net Sales
SIGNIFICANCE:-
This Ratio indicates the net profitability of the main business, operating efficiency of a
firm. In Such a case, the operating profit ratio explains that the efficiency of the firm is
very low. Therefore, the higher the operating ratio that better would be the operational
efficiency of the firm.
COMMENTS:-
In Mangalam Cement ltd .operating profit ratio decreases from last 3 years continuously.
This shows that net profit of main business is very low. This highly low numeric value of
ratio indicates the danger for the business.
1
Gross profit
Sales
This ratio reflects the overall profitability of the business. It is calculated by comparing
the profit earned and the employed to earn it. This ratio is usually in percentage and is
also known as ‘Rate of Return’ or Return on Capital Employed’ or ‘Yield on Capital’.
The tern ‘Investment’ here refers to long-term funds deployed in the enterprise. AS
defined earlier long-term fund are also know as capital employed which means total of
shareholder fund and long term loans. Since the Capital employed includes shareholders
funds and long-term loans, interest paid on long-term loans will not be deducted from
profits while calculating this ratio. The ratio is computed as under.
Here, Capital Employed = Total Assets—Current Liabilities or Net worth +Total debts
1
SIGNIFICANCE;-
The return on capital employed provides a test of profitability related to the long-term funds. The
higher the ratio the more effective and efficient would be the utilization of capital or vice-versa.
The comparison of this ratio with that of similar firms and with industry average over a period of

RESEARCH METHEDOLOY
Research in common parlance refers to search for knowledge. Data has been collected by
primary and secondary methods. Research methodology is away to systematically solve the
research problem. It may be understood as a science of studying how research is done
systematically. The study of Research methodology gives the student the necessary training in
gathering material and arranging them.
According to Hudson maxim, “All progress is born of inquiry. Doubt is often better than
overconfidence, for it leads to inquiry, and inquiry leads to invention.”
DATA COLLECTION:-
1
The task of data collection begins after a research problem has been defined and research
design \plan chalked out. While deciding about the method of data collection to be used for the
study , the researcher should keep in mind two types of data.

For agencies interested in finding the balance between interviewing ‘enough’ candidates and
protracting the recruitment process by interviewing an excessive number of candidates.
This metric can be a useful indicator of process quality (e.g. recruitment speed or short-listing ability),
candidate quality or of a selection team’s understanding of the role
CANDIDATES INTERVIEWED / VACANCIES.
--------------------------------------------------------
OFFER RATE
These metrics will help the agency to identify inefficiencies in the recruitment process and gauge the
strength of the employment value proposition or ‘offer’ to candidates.
[OFFERS EXTENDED / CANDIDATES INTERVIEWED] X 100
-------------------------------------------------------------
OFFER ACCEPTANCE RATE
These metrics are especially important for those who operate in highly competitive talent markets
[OFFERS ACCEPTED / OFFERS EXTENDED ] X 100
----------------------------------------------------------------
TURNOVER RATE OF NEW RECRUITS
Useful for those who wish to measure the rate at which new recruits (e.g. <1 year length of service)
leave the agency.
The early departure of an employee may be due to any number of factors, including poor job or
organisational fit, a poor understanding of the position, or poor induction. In this way, this metric can
be used as an indication of recruitment effectiveness.
[ TERMINATIONS {new recruits}/ AVERAGE HEADCOUNT] X 100
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW RECRUITS PERFORMANCE RATIO
Arguably the most important metric – it does not matter what the process costs, how long it takes, or
whether it meets expectations if the agency is recruiting the wrong people.
This metric helps agencies to monitor the relative effectiveness of recruitment activities in securing
high-performing candidates and to evaluate return on investment.
It may be considered more useful to establish an ‘interim’ performance rating at the three or six
month period as this can be more directly telling of recruitment effectiveness, while a performance
rating a year into the employee’s service may be influenced by many other factors
AVERAGE PERFORMANCE RATING. RECENT RECRUITMENTS / AVERAGE PERFORMANCE RATING .
AGENCY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECRUITMENT COST PER VACANCY
These metrics will be most useful to agencies that wish to monitor the relative magnitude of direct and
indirect recruitment costs.
The ‘Cost Breakdown’ method can often be more valuable than the traditional cost–per–vacancy
metric because it isolates the various individual factors that affect cost.
ANNUAL RECRUITMENT COST / NUMBER OF VACANCIES.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECRUITMENT COST BREAKDOWN
High costs may be driven by process inefficiencies, poor technology, ineffective advertising, excessive
allowances or travel expenses, or other factors. However, recruitment costs must be considered in
light of the potential costs and benefits of acquiring high–quality candidates.
{ RECRUITMENT COST [type]/ TOTAL COST ] X 100
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW RECRUITMENT TURNOVER CONTRIBUTION
As a general rule, any employee who voluntarily leaves within the first year of service can be
interpreted as a poor recruitment decision. This metric can also be an indicator of other problems
within the agency.
1
Recruitment mistakes result in higher turnover, higher costs and lower productivity. It is therefore
important to spend more upfront to ensure that those recruited are the best suited to the agency
[ TERMINATION .SHORT SERVICE / TERMINATIONS ] X 100
---------------------------------------------------------------
RETENTION RATE
This is a useful benchmarking metric for agencies who understand their patterns of candidate
attraction and separation (who is joining, who is leaving, and for what reasons) and who wish to
monitor and measure their retention rates in light of new HR strategies.
[START OF PERIOD HEADCOUNT+ EXTERNAL RECRUITS- TERMINATIONS]
