What are the downsides of companies that are constantly replacing staff?
The major downsides to constantly replacing staff are: replacement costs; morale problems; and loss of institutional knowledge. We know that it costs between 40-60% of one’s salary to replace an employee, so it’s expensive to constantly replace talent.
Because we operate in a “work community,” the loss of a community member can be traumatic and affect productivity to those who remain. While some turnover is normal and unavoidable, too much can take a toll on the organization.
Every time someone leaves the organization, it loses some knowledge that must be replaced (and in some cases can’t be). There is a cost in real dollars to the organization. Again, some turnover is normal, but too much will hurt the bottom line.
