Turnover, what does it cost?
Turnover, what does it cost?
An organization can be considered “turnover stable” when employees leave at a rate that does not impede or restrict normal operations. In other words, their knowledge, skills, and contributions can be reasonably managed by the remaining workers until a replacement is found.
The costs of losing a worker vary by industry, job type, level of corporate knowledge, internal and external organizational economic factors, etc. Using the “WOW Turnover Calculator” you can determine the pure cash impacts of turnover on your organization. When you compound these cash costs with the hidden expenses such as corporate knowledge loss, team cohesion breakdown, competitor advantage and lost individual, unit or organizational productivity, these hidden costs can run in the tens of thousands of dollars, and in some cases, millions of dollars.
In one 3-year case study, a Florida health care organization reduced its turnover by approximately 20%. By doing so, they retained over 4 million dollars in earnings!
If you create a leadership culture, provide a strategically-crafted remuneration system, and provide fair bonuses and incentives, you will add to the level of retention in your organization. This, in turn, leads to greater organizational stability and employee cohesion.
