The Cost of Failure - A Calculator
It's impossible to quantify the cost of missed
opportunity, lost revenue, or failed initiatives
caused by a team's failure to effectively produce
results.
It's difficult to measure the cost of "firing" an
employee who is not performing, although business
experts estimate it between three and five times the
annual salary of the departing employee.
But we can measure the cost of attrition in the
general sense, by estimating lost productivity,
training time, and employee replacement costs.
Our calculator lets you enter the values that
apply to your company, and see what attrition is
costing YOU.
In the words of one client, "Wow! I should spend
more time and money on that."
