Resignations equal a loss

3 types of losses due to resignations – can your business afford the high staff turnover?:

• Loss of Knowledge and Experience –
  An employee that has resigned walks away with the knowledge of how the business operates and their expertise;
• Loss of productivity
  While the resigned employee has left with their efficiency, the new recruit is not as productive while they learn how to perform the tasks correctly;
• Loss of money due to increased expenses
  Pay the salary of the resigned employee. Pay for recruitment of the new employee – recruitment fees, advertising costs, etc. Then the cost of the new employee’s salary.

A documented business process guide (process manual/ standard operations manual) reduces the impact of the resignation. A documented business process guide ensures:

• A more efficient on-boarding process – the new recruit is able to perform a task correctly irrespective of their experience, just by following the steps in the guide;
• Standards are not compromised as the new recruit can reference the guide to ensure tasks are completed and correct;
• Effective recruitment – business owner or manager can recruit based on the need to address the areas of improvements;
• Training is consistent.
