retention rates
How many remain
Retention rates measure the percentage of people or things that remain in a particular state over time.
In business, this typically tracks how many customers continue using a service or product: Our retention rates improved after we revamped customer support.
In education, it refers to students who stay enrolled or progress to the next level rather than dropping out.
HR departments track employee retention rates to gauge workplace satisfaction and turnover.
