Employers in the red meat processing sector have been suffering from high labour turnover for years, adding considerable cost for business. High employee turnover not only impacts productivity at a plant level, but also the industry’s international competitiveness. If the sector is to maintain current production levels as well as seize development opportunities, the red meat processing industry needs to identify and address the retention issues prevalent in the sector.

To help understand the full extent of the issue, Australian Meat Processor Corporation (AMPC) partnered with Response Group to gather and analyse empirical data to establish the current rates of retention, identify the underlying reasons behind turnover and developed a roadmap for change.
