Annual turnover rate is what percentage of the staff leaves over the course of the year. If the staff size is 10, and 10 people leave and are replaced, the turnover rate is 100% (everyone left). If the staff size is 10, and in 6 months everyone has left and been replaced, then in the following 6 motnhs those people have left and been replaced, then the staff size is 10, and 20 people left, so the turnover rate is 200% (you replaced the staff twice in the year).

An annual turnover rate of 150% means that on average, staff stay for 8 months.
