We looked at employee survey responses from 14,439 tech employees in a one-year period between April 1, 2015, and April 1, 2016 in order to see how their workforces are faring. Our questions ranged across all dimensions of employee engagement and retention, measuring how workers feel about their companies, managers, and job satisfaction.
The most eye-catching and concerning of our findings is how likely employees are to leave their current companies. When asked if they would be at the same company in one year, the tech industry was less likely to say yes than other industries — or the tech industry average from last year.

Every lost employee exacts a cost on their company. The Society for Human Resource Management finds that the total cost of replacing employees range from 90% to 200% of their annual income. In the tech space, where so many of a company’s resources reside in the minds of their employees, this estimate should perhaps be even higher.
