There are various reasons for the high turnover among blue-collar workers in Turkey. These reasons include economic, social and business-specific factors. Here are the main reasons for this turnover:

1. Low Wages: Blue-collar workers generally work for minimum wage or slightly above. This situation causes employees to constantly look for better-paying jobs to improve their living standards.

2. Inflation and Cost of Living: High inflation rates and increasing costs of living make it difficult for employees to make ends meet with their current income. This situation causes employees to constantly change jobs under economic pressure.

1. Physical Challenges: Blue-collar jobs are often physically demanding and tiring. Conditions such as heavy lifting, standing for long periods, and working with dangerous machinery can put workers' health at risk.

2. Safety Problems: Failure to take adequate occupational health and safety measures in workplaces can lead to work-related accidents and occupational diseases. This causes employees to seek a safe work environment.

3. Long Working Hours and Overtime: Most blue-collar workers work long hours and are often forced to work overtime. This disrupts the work-life balance and is among the reasons why employees leave their jobs.

1. Limited Career Advancement Opportunities: Promotion and career development opportunities are generally limited in blue-collar jobs. Employees look for jobs where they can improve themselves and advance to better positions.

2. Education and Professional Development: Most blue-collar workers may not have started their careers with the necessary education and skills. Employers' failure to provide sufficient education and professional development opportunities is one of the reasons why employees change jobs.

1. Job Stress and Burnout: Challenging working conditions, high workload and stress can cause employees to experience burnout. This increases the tendency to change jobs.

2. Work Relations: Disagreements with managers and co-workers at work, mobbing and other negative social dynamics can reduce employees' job satisfaction and cause them to leave their jobs.

3. Work-Life Balance: Long working hours and irregular working hours negatively affect employees' family and social lives. Employees who cannot maintain their work-life balance tend to prefer more flexible and balanced jobs.

1. Temporary and Indefinite Employment: Temporary employment contracts and uncertain employment conditions undermine employees' sense of job security. Employees in jobs where the risk of dismissal is high tend to prefer more secure jobs.

2. Union Rights and Employee Representation: The lack of union rights and employee representatives makes it difficult for employees to defend themselves in their relationships with employers. This increases job dissatisfaction and increases turnover rates.

1. Competitive Labor Market: Intense competition, especially in the industry and manufacturing sectors, may cause workers to switch to employers that offer better working conditions and wages. Competition in the sector encourages workers to change jobs.

Measures that employers can take to reduce high turnover are as follows:

1. Wage Improvements: Offer competitive salaries and regular raises to employees.

2. Safe Working Conditions: Prevent work-related accidents and occupational diseases by increasing occupational health and safety measures.

3. Career Development Programs: Support career development by offering training and promotion opportunities to employees.

4. Flexible Working Hours: Offer flexible working hours and overtime pay to maintain work-life balance.

5. Employee Representation and Union Rights: Support union activities that protect employees' rights and appoint workplace representatives.

6. Psychological Support: Implement psychological support programs to manage stress and prevent burnout in the workplace.

Such improvements can reduce turnover by increasing employee satisfaction and increase the overall efficiency of the business.
