What this means
In Alberta, average job tenure in the services-producing sector was 91.9 months in 2025, per Statistics Canada. This is a descriptive population benchmark covering everyone employed in the sector across the province, not a measure of one employer's retention performance. Pair it with your own tenure records and the reasons people give when they leave, since those internal numbers are what you can act on. Gallup estimates that replacing an exiting worker costs one-half to two times that employee's annual salary, and calls that a conservative estimate.
