What is inside
Taken from the kit’s own Start Here guide, so what you see here is what you open after checkout.
How to use it
The workbook uses your headcount, turnover rate, and average time to fill to estimate what open positions cost in productivity and payroll over a year. It shows your annual vacancy cost, the average number of open positions at any time, the cost of one vacancy across a full time to fill, and the monthly run rate. The Scenarios tab calculates the savings from filling positions faster, lowering turnover, and how the two improvements compound.
