What this means
Statistics Canada puts average job tenure in Manufacturing in Manitoba at 111.8 months for 2025. This is a descriptive population benchmark covering everyone working in the industry there, not an evaluation of any one employer's retention performance. Set it next to your own tenure data and exit findings before drawing conclusions about your workforce. Gallup notes that replacing an exiting worker costs one-half to two times that employee's annual salary, and calls even that a conservative estimate.
