There’s one word that makes C-level executives, human resources departments, operations personnel, sales teams and financial staffs shake with fear:

Turnover affects almost every aspect of a business. And yet these tangible costs, substantial as they may be, really only represent the tip of the iceberg.

If your company acquires the reputation of having heavy turnover, it will be challenging to attract good applicants, hurting your future.
