New Tool from HR.BLR.com Helps Companies Quantify Employer Turnover Expense: Turnover Cost Calculator Available as Download
HR.BLR.com has just made its new Employee Turnover Cost Calculator available as a free download. The Calculator can help companies understand the cost of turnover and justify HR’s initiatives to control it.
Old Saybrook, CT (Issues Wire / PRWEB) April 26, 2006 -- As the thriving U.S. economy nears full employment, personnel turnover is costing companies billions of dollars a year. To help manage this expense, the editors at HR.BLR.com -- state HR answers and tools online -- have just made available a free download of their new “Employee Turnover Cost Calculator.”
Susan Prince, HR.BLR.com managing editor, commented on employee turnover’s impact: “The cost of replacing an employee is usually estimated to be one-third of his or her annual salary. Although the ratio for this HR metric varies by employer and position, the expense is significant every time an employee walks out the door.”
Expertise, Secrets, Talent Lost Every Day
Turnover expenses include lost time for the HR and hiring managers engaged in the recruitment process, along with costs for advertising, lost customers, productivity, temporary staff, and overtime. Prince, however, highlighted the flip side: “One of the greatest single impacts that a human resource manager can have in an organization is to reduce its turnover costs.”
