How to use it

What this workbook does

See what turnover and absences cost across separation, vacancy, recruiting, onboarding, and lost output. Cost of Turnover calculates the full expense of replacing one employee. Absence Cost shows the cost of sick and unplanned days by department. Vacancy Cost calculates what open positions cost over a year. Retention Savings estimates the savings from a lower turnover target. The Summary brings all four results together.

Your first 15 minutesOpen the Turnover and Absence Cost Pack workbook in Microsoft Excel or a free equivalent such as LibreOffice. The Start Here tab explains how to use each worksheet. Begin with Cost of Turnover, replacing the worked example in the amber cells with figures from one actual departure. The tab calculates the full cost of that exit. As you complete the other analyses, the Summary tab brings all four results together.
