Direct costs: recruiting, onboarding, lost productivity
- Indirect costs: decreased morale, knowledge loss, customer impact
- Costs can reach up to 200% of an employee’s salary
Speaker Notes Employee turnover is a costly problem for businesses. Direct costs include expenses associated with recruiting, onboarding, and lost productivity during the vacancy period. Indirect costs can be even more significant, impacting morale, leading to knowledge loss, and potentially affecting customer satisfaction. Studies suggest that replacing a single employee can cost an organization anywhere from 100% to 200% of their annual salary [Source: Society for Human Resource Management, “The High Cost of Turnover”].

Competitive benefits packages attract top talent
- Benefits can improve employee satisfaction and morale
- Benefits can reduce financial stress and improve well-being
Speaker Notes A strong correlation exists between employee benefits and retention. Competitive benefits packages can attract top talent in the job market. Once employees are on board, a well-designed benefits program can significantly improve employee satisfaction and morale. By offering benefits that address employees’ financial and personal well-being needs, organizations can reduce stress and create a more engaged workforce, ultimately leading to lower turnover rates.
Slide 6
Understanding Your Workforce Needs
- Benefits needs vary by generation, age, and life stage
- Conduct surveys and focus groups to understand employee needs
- Tailored benefits can be more effective
Speaker Notes It’s important to understand that employee benefits needs can vary depending on factors like generation, age, and life stage. Millennials, for example, may prioritize student loan repayment assistance, while Gen Xers may value robust retirement savings plans. Conducting surveys and focus groups with your employees allows you to tailor your benefits package to better meet their specific needs and preferences.
