The Real Cost of Your Workforce

Understanding Turnover

Beyond the Numbers

The true cost of an employee goes far past their paycheck. When you factor in extra costs beyond base wage, the overall investment in each employee increases significantly. These hidden costs add up quickly, often without employers realizing the full financial impact.

Ready to see the true cost of high turnover? Our staffing experts built a custom cost calculator to help you see exactly what you’re spending- and where you could be saving.

Cost of Turnover

For employers, the ongoing cost of turnover isn’t just financial – it weakens the foundation of the business and makes sustainable growth harder to achieve. Turnover destabilizes company culture and increases long-term risk. When employees see high levels of churn, it reduces trust and engagement, making it harder to retain top talent or attract new candidates. Additionally, frequent turnover creates a cycle of instability that leads to more mistakes, safety issues, and lost institutional knowledge.

43% Indirect Costs

Indirect costs include the costs associated with turnover such as having to create a new job postings, vacant positions and overtime hours.

41% Direct Costs

Direct costs include labor related costs benefits, insurance, tax, and the expenses of keeping an employee on your team.

By managing every step, from recruiting to relocation, KFI ensures faster placements and fewer disruptions on the floor.

What If I Don't Need Employment Long Term?

Even if you don’t need long-term employees, being understaffed when demand is high can cost you more in lost productivity, missed deadlines, and employee burnout. Short-term labor gaps slow down production and force your core team to pick up the slack, increasing errors and turnover. Our model also prepares you for production ramp-ups, so you're never caught off guard when demand spikes. We make sure the workers you need are ready when you need them.
