Because minimal HR practices place your organization at great risk, both legally and financially.
Based on this score, it’s likely that effective HR is not in place within your organization, which is a concern from an overall compliance and productivity perspective. Lost productivity due to turnover alone can cost thousands of dollars per year, and unfortunately, most businesses don’t know how to measure it.
For example, BCjobs.ca states: A large hotel chain calculated that a 10% decrease in annual employee turnover led to a decrease in lost customers of between 1% and 3%.
That translated to an annual revenue increase of between $50 and $100 million.
(In this case, not only did they save money on turnover costs, but they also improved their bottom line by having longer-term employees.)
