|---|---|---|---|
| Permanent Employees | 14% | 21% | 15% |
| Permanent Workers | 4% | 0% | 4% |
** Workers turnover rate for the FY 2022 – 23 is calculated by dividing the number of workers left the employment during the FY with the total number of workers at the beginning of the FY to show a realistic value.
