Learn English – Term for how long employees stay within a company

single-word-requests

What is the term to describe how long a given employee remains at a company?

For instance, if I wanted to use it in a sentence:
The ______ of Software Engineers in Seattle, WA is about two years.

Maybe it's not one term, but I am struggling to convey this message clearly.

Best Answer

I think you're looking for tenure, defined by the online Merriam-Webster as

the amount of time that a person holds a job, office, or title

In your example, you would say

The average tenure of Software Engineers in Seattle, WA is about two years.
