    You would need to FORMAT the number before it's joined.

     

    CONCATENATE ( 
    FORMAT ( 
        CALCULATE ( 
             AVERAGE ( Leavers3[Years Service] ) 
        ),
        "0.00"
    ),
   " years" 
)

     There are different options instead of "0.00", you can find them all here

You can use CONCATENATE

CONCATENATE ( CALCULATE ( AVERAGE ( Leavers3[Years Service] ) ), " years" )
