Why Is Onboarding So Critical? “Studies have shown that on average it costs about 1.5 times an employee’s annual salary to replace that employee when he/she leaves Rockwell Collins. For example, it would cost our company roughly $75,000 in recruiting costs, training expenses, and lost productivity to replace someone who made $50,000 a year. “ -Rockwell Collins Company Report, 2008 Copyright © 2009 Bersin & Associates.
