Case Study: Large Distributing Company reduces involuntary turnover up to 57% with Talogy's Select Assessment for Distribution Centers

Reducing Involuntary Turnover in a Warehouse Environment

A large U.S. retailer deployed the Select Assessment for Distribution Centers across its warehouse locations to tackle high involuntary turnover among warehouse associates. The company worked with Select International to validate whether integrating this assessment into the hiring process would reduce absenteeism, tardiness and unsafe behaviors that drive separations.

Select implemented the in-depth screening assessment early in hiring to screen out high‑risk applicants; Facility A recorded a 40% reduction in involuntary turnover and Facility B a 57% reduction, with notable declines in attendance/tardiness-related separations. On average turnover fell by 13%—which, at an estimated $14,000 cost to replace an employee and 100 hires per year, equates to roughly $182,000 in annual savings—demonstrating the assessment’s effectiveness in improving retention.
