Cost of hiring mistakes
The Department of Labor estimates the price of a bad hire as 30 percent of the employee’s first-year earnings.
 Cost of turnover in Front Line Roles = 30% of base salary - $45,000 base = $13,500/mistake
SHRM found that replacing supervisory, technical roles cost 50% to several hundred percent of the person’s salary.
 Cost of turnover in supervisory, technical roles = 100% + of base salary - $120,000 base = $120,000/mistake
The Center for American Progress (CAP) states that in highly paid jobs and those at the senior or executive levels can
be up to 213% of base salary
 Cost of turnover in executive roles = 213% of base salary - $150,000 base = $319,500/mistake

What is a high performance team?
Team dynamics and
working relationships are
poorly understood.
Unproductive conflict and
lack of collaboration
undermine performance
Level 0
Chaotic
Team Members are aware
of their own work
preferences and natural
strengths.
Methods of
communication and
collaboration are
documented and we have
a process for resolving
conflict
Level 1
Basic
Team Members are aware
of their own work
preferences and strengths
as well as preferences
and strengths of
colleagues.
Team performance is
measured, evaluated and
transparent
Level 2
Proficient
Teams are purposefully
constructed based on
organization’s needs.
Roles are assigned based
on individual capabilities
Teams share,
communicate and
collaborate effectively.
Team results > Sum of
individual parts
Level 3
Optimized
A high performance team understands and effectively utilizes the individual strengths and unique abilities of each
team member. The collective team output is greater than the sum of its individual parts.

• Start with average (from norms)
• Make adjustments based on
learning needs, complexity of job
and work environment stability
• Add points for manager or VP
level roles
This is a starting point. Other data (e.g. average score of applicants) may influence the target score.
