People are the #1 asset for all organizations whether they are businesses, NGOs/NPOs, government agencies, or military organizations. Without people, organizations are nothing more than pieces of paper and graphic images. Yet the vast majority of all organizations underperform because of less than fully committed employees or members. In some cases, 3-year turnover rates may be as high as 50% or more with 5-year rates in excess of 70%. When you factor in that replacement costs per employee can range from 17% to 200% (lowest to highest-paid employee) and consider that payrolls can be as much as 70% or more of an organization's budget it is not unreasonable to suggest that organizations are literally bleeding green to the tune of hundreds of millions, if not, billions of dollars annually.

​

What is truly most remarkable is that the bulk of the turnover we see in organizations is preventable. In one nationwide study of attrition, 8 of 13 reasons for the attrition (the reasons given by people who left their organization) were completely controllable by the organization. In other words, the excessively high turnover rates don't have to happen in your organization!
