Employee turnover is costly for businesses but often overlooked. The actual cost of turnover includes expenses related to hiring, onboarding, training and time spent with unfilled roles. Estimates put the cost at around 20-213% of an employee's annual salary depending on their skills. To accurately calculate turnover costs, businesses should consider factors in four main categories: costs due to employee departure, recruitment costs, training costs, and lost productivity costs. Reducing turnover requires minimizing costs when it happens through effective hiring and onboarding, as well as proactively retaining employees by focusing on their growth, impact, and feeling cared for. Optimization tools can help examine how policies might impact turnover while meeting operational needs.

SESSION 1: The Value of Talent: calculate your cost to hire and learn how …Affintus
Grow Your Business By Hiring The Right Talent - 3 Sessions
Led by Paula A. Soileau, CPA, Co-Founder, CEO Affintus LLC
The overall success of every organization depends on the employees doing the work. In companies of all sizes, talent management is at the top of owners’ and executive’s to-do lists - they see talent as a significant competitive asset, but report their frustration with long hiring processes and unpredictable outcomes.
This series shows business owners and managers how to improve their hiring success fast. Most small and mid-sized companies focus time and resources on finding the “right” employees – the people they need to grow the business. But three out of four businesses report making at least one hiring mistake that cost thousands to fix.
Hiring the wrong people can dramatically affect the bottom line as well as client relationships and company culture. “Especially in smaller businesses, the impact is more dramatic and mistakes become more critical,” Says Mark Hamilton, CEO of Bell Tea & Coffee Company, a 100-year-old company.
The majority of business leaders believe employees can make - or break - the business. Participants in this series learn how to adjust their hiring systems to reduce the time and cost of hiring while identifying the candidates who really will make the best employee.
Figuring out how much you spend to hire someone is eye-opening. Most companies do not track this critical expense. In this session you will find a simple method for calculating cost-to-hire and then brainstorm ways to reduce the cost and time-to-hire.
Why Your Company Needs An Employee Turnover AuditRon Haynes
Employee Turnover is costing your firm hundreds of thousands of dollars but it's masked in a myriad of different ledger accounts and departments. Finding out the true expenses associated with turnover allows firms to control those expenses and train those responsible for them to better understand their impact and reduce those costs.
It’s no secret that one of the biggest expenses and assets for an organization are employees. From recruiting and hiring to training and retaining, managing human resources is a huge cost. If done well, it can also be the biggest asset.
According to a recent study (August 2012), the Boston Consulting Group found that out of all HR functions, recruiting has the highest impact on revenue growth and profit margins. In this session, we explore the hidden earning potential of recruiting.

1. The Cost of Employee
Turnover
How to Calculate It, Reduce It, and Save Your
Business Thousands
2. What’s the Real Cost of Employee Turnover?
Topic often discussed, but rarely acted upon
Difficult to put an exact number on it
People are becoming more important in business
Therefore, retention/turnover is more important
3. Why the Cost of
Turnover is Ignored The first step towards making
retention a priority is to quantify it.
“What gets measured, gets managed.”
- Peter Drucker
4. Actual Cost of Employee Turnover
Bottom line: it’s expensive
Center for American Progress (CAP) has estimated it at 213% annual salary for
high-skill employees; ~20% annual salary for employees earning $30-$75K
Josh Bersin suggests the true cost lies somewhere between tens of thousands of
dollars to 1.5-2.0X annual salary
Also makes the point employees are appreciating assets
5. Actual Cost of Employee Turnover
Maia Josebachvili calculates the ROI of an employee using the term “Employee
Lifetime Value”, which represents “the total net value over time that an employee
brings to an organization.”
In her case study, using a salesperson that earns $50K/yr (and generates
$50K/mo in revenue), better management yields a difference of $1.3M in net value
to the company over a three year period
7. Calculating Your Own Cost of Employee Turnover
Basic Equations
Cost of turnover = # departures x average cost of departures
Turnover rate = # departures / total # employees
8. Calculating Your Own Cost of Employee Turnover
Jack Altman proposes that we can calculate the cost of employee turnover by
examining four main buckets:
● Cost of hiring
● Cost of onboarding and training
● Cost of learning and development, and
● Cost of time with unfilled role
9. Calculating Your Own Cost of Employee Turnover
...which can be summarized in this equation:
Source: Jack Altman on employee turnover cost
(Hiring + Onboarding + Development + Unfilled Time)
X (Number Employees x Annual Turnover Percentage)
= Annual Cost of Turnover
10. Calculating Your Own Cost of Employee Turnover
We’ve summarized the list, and provided both the basic and advanced methods of
analysis in a spreadsheet for you to use here.
(The spreadsheet has full details for each section)
12. Bear with us here - these are all explained in detail in the spreadsheet.
We’d recommend you look at both, or read the full post here for explanation.
13. 1. Costs due to a person leaving
○ Cost of person filling in
○ Cost of lost productivity
○ Cost of exit interview
○ Cost of manager adjusting
○ Cost of training invested in employee
○ Impact on departmental productivity
○ Cost of severance and benefits
○ Cost of lost knowledge, skills and contacts
○ Cost of losing customers
○ Subtract cost of saved salary
These are adapted from the list by William Bliss.

Factors to Consider for Advanced Calculation
16. 4. Lost productivity costs
○ 4 weeks at 25% productivity
○ 8 weeks at 50% productivity
○ 8 weeks at 75% productivity
○ Cost of lost coworker/supervisor productivity
○ Cost of new employee mistakes
○ Cost of lost department productivity if person is manager
○ Impact cost on completion/delivery of critical project
○ Cost of reduced productivity if person lost key staff member for
management
Factors to Consider for Advanced Calculation
17. 5. New hire costs
○ Admin cost of bringing new person onboard
○ Expense of manager time reviewing work
Factors to Consider for Advanced Calculation
18. 6. Lost sales cost
○ Lost revenue for vacant time (sales rep)
○ Lost productivity percentages for lost revenue (sales rep)
○ Revenue lost per employee (non-sales person)
Factors to Consider for Advanced Calculation
20. Comes down to two main aspects:
1. Reducing the cost of turnover when it happens
2. Reducing turnover itself
21. Reducing the Cost of Employee Turnover When It
Happens
Maia Josebachvili does a good job summarizing the four main factors that
maximize the “Employee Lifetime Value”, which is another way of saying
“minimizing the cost of employee turnover.”
Generally:
1. Minimize time where employee is “cost” - hiring and onboarding
2. Maximize potential of employee through good management
24. According to Maia:
“Onboarding: A good onboarding program accomplishes two goals: 1) It decreases the time it takes an
employee to become a fully contributing member, and 2) It significantly increases the likelihood that the
employee will stay with the company long-term.
Hiring: An excellent hire has a higher maximum output from the beginning, plus has the added network
effect of attracting and elevating other top performers.
Management & Development: Excellent management and development practices increase the value an
employee brings to the organization over time.
Management & Culture: A strong management practice and positive culture are directly correlated with
retention, which results in an increase in ELTV.”
26. Jack Altman suggests focusing on “growth, impact, and care”
● Have conversations with employees about goals
● Give them more responsibility
● Help them acquire new skills to encourage growth
● Articulate a clear and purposeful company mission
● Build culture that shows care and appreciation
28. Main driver for employee turnover is quality-of-life, particularly in operations roles
and logistics businesses
Policies like guaranteed days off need to be carefully considered, as they can
impact the operations planning teams too
Optimization can maximize resources under quality-of-life constraints
29. You can solve scheduling and routing problems using the cost of turnover as part
of overall cost optimization
Optimization also allows concrete examination of what-if scenarios before
implementation, aiding in decisions about hiring, guaranteed days off, or other
perks
