The hidden cost of employee turnover in 2024

The Problem

Employee turnover is more than a headache—it’s a financial drain. In 2024, turnover costs reached staggering levels across industries, particularly for companies dependent on younger talent. From recruitment expenses to lost productivity, every departure takes a toll.

The Numbers Don’t Lie

• Turnover costs up to 2x the annual salary of the employee leaving, factoring in recruitment, training, and lost productivity.*

• In manufacturing alone, $1 billion was spent on training in 2024, with turnover rates exceeding 45%.*

• 93% of companies cite “retention challenges” as a major threat to their profitability.*

Why Does It Happen?

Turnover isn’t just about compensation. The key drivers include:

1. Lack of engagement: Employees don’t feel connected to their roles or the company.

2. Slow value generation: New hires often spend months in onboarding with no meaningful contribution.

3. Limited growth opportunities: Younger employees, in particular, crave learning and impact.
