The financial toll that high employee turnover takes on a business makes it well worth it to invest in the people that make your organization thrive. A study by the Society for Human Resource Management revealed that employers end up spending six to nine months of an employee’s salary during the process of finding and training a replacement.
This may not make a hug impact in the case of a single employee, but when employee turnover becomes a regular occurrence this can really have a negative impact on a company. In addition to the monetary loss, this type of environment can lower both productivity and employee morale.
