Turnover is bound to happen in every business, no matter the size or industry. But one of the keys to managing employee turnover costs is to not panic and rush to hire an external candidate, but instead to lay the prior foundation for a smooth transition, and encourage your employees to refer their past colleagues for openings, which can provide a multitude of benefits compared to hiring external candidates.
Employee Departure
The reasons behind employee departures are diverse, ranging from pursuing higher-paying opportunities to personal circumstances like relocation. Regardless of the cause, the consensus is clear—employee turnover is both costly and disruptive.
Robert Half, a leading human resource consulting firm, reports that 38% of employees leave their jobs due to “inadequate salary and benefits.” In today’s robust hiring climate, where skilled talent has options, competitive pay and benefits play a pivotal role in retaining employees. Financial pressures in employees’ personal lives, make higher-paying job offers seemingly irresistible if they have no strong ties to their current company.
