  ABSTRACT: Employee turnover presents a significant challenge for employers, especially in the demanding legal sector, where it can cost up to a third of an employee’s annual salary and pose substantial risks to firms. While prior research has focused on the unfolding model to explain employee departures, the critical role of job embeddedness has often been overlooked. This paper introduces the temporal model, merging the unfolding model and job embeddedness to comprehensively address turnover throughout an employee’s journey in a law firm, from recruitment to tenure and exit. Additionally, this study reviews effective strategies that law firms can implement at any employment stage to mitigate turnover.
