POOR HIRING DECISIONS ARE ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE WORKFORCE ISSUES
A 20% price tag
The evidence is undeniable – numerous research studies* over the last 20 years have regularly put the cost of staff turnover - by the time you recruit and mobilise your employee - at around 20% of the individual’s starting salary for frontline roles. These are direct costs and regularly do not include lost productivity or the impact on clients and residents – a critical issue in a CDC world. That is a cost of $8,000 for a personal care worker earning $40,000 per year.
The most effective, and the cheapest way to improve staff retention is to look at the start of the employee lifecycle, by reducing hiring mistakes.
