Experiencing team turnover or rolling out new initiatives can feel like the worst time to consider additional changes. These moments often highlight underlying challenges such as unclear processes or gaps in accountability, that could benefit from the right solutions. Addressing these issues now can not only stabilize your business but also create a foundation for smoother transitions and future growth.

 

What Is Turnover Costing You?

Turnover is not just about finding a replacement; it comes with significant costs, both direct and indirect. Studies reveal that employee turnover can cost employers 33% of an employee’s annual salary.

These costs arise from:

  • Recruitment expenses: Advertising and recruitment fees (often 15–25% of a new hire’s salary)
  • Lost productivity: The gap between an employee leaving and a replacement starting, plus the time it takes for the new hire to reach full productivity.
  • Training costs: Onboarding times, upskilling and reduced capacity are all a part of bring a new team member up to speed.

 

When one in three hires leaves within 18 months these costs compound quickly. And let’s not forget that external hires typically demand 18–20% higher salaries than internal promotions, adding even more financial pressure.

 

Why Turnover Happens

Team turnover often signals a deeper structural issue. Without clear processes and visibility, accountability becomes challenging. This can result in retaining underperforming employees while losing top talent—an incredibly frustrating cycle for any business owner.

Our experience shows that businesses experiencing high turnover often lack the systems necessary to:

  • Clearly define roles and responsibilities.
  • Hold employees accountable for performance.
  • Create a framework where new team members can seamlessly integrate without disrupting operations.

The Solution: Building Resilience Through Structure

Periods of change are the ideal time to introduce solutions that provide stability and efficiency. By implementing structured workflows, dashboards and accountability systems, you create a framework where transitions become smoother and less disruptive.

Here’s how:

  • Streamlining roles and processes: Workflows ensure every task has a clear owner and a defined path to completion, reducing confusion during periods of change.
  • Improving visibility: Dashboards provide real-time insights into tasks, progress, and performance, enabling managers to quickly identify and address gaps.
  • Enhancing accountability: Service level agreements and performance tracking tools ensure all team members are aligned with clear expectations and goals.

With these systems in place, businesses move from reacting to turnover to proactively managing it. Employees can come and go without affecting the core stability of operations.
