High staff turnover can be a costly affair for businesses! Not just in terms of time and effort, but also financially.

When an employee leaves, the cost of replacing them can be as much as 1.5 times their annual salary!

It’s not just about finding someone new; it’s about training and integrating them into your team.

That’s why investing in employee retention isn’t just good for morale; it’s smart for your bottom line.

Good friend of RETNZ’s Julie Davis is putting on a webinar tomorrow where you will learn how to elevate your team to new heights of success.

Don’t miss out.
