Why?
(Internal + External recruiting costs) / Total number of hires = Cost per hire
When a company earns a reputation for being a top employer, more candidates come
to them directly—and those candidates are often a better fit for the organization since
they know exactly what it stands for. With more quality candidates coming to them,
recruiters can spend less time—and of course less money—on sourcing ideal people for
open roles.
Number of open applications
• Where did your hires come from? How did they find out
about you? Measuring source of hire helps recruiters learn
where they’re most effective and what sourcing channels
are less successful. To measure source of hire, determine
where the bulk of your hires come from and evaluate
whether you’re allocating resources effectively.
• If you recognize that very few of your new hires are coming
from more cost-effective sources like employee referrals,
you may want to consider strategies to increase referrals.
For example, many companies offer referral bonuses to
current employees who refer people for open roles.
What do Companies Measure in Engagement
Employers typically assess their employees’ engagement levels with company-
wide attitude or opinion surveys. A sampling of the criteria featured in such
instruments reveals 10 common themes related to engagement:
• Pride in employer
• Satisfaction with employer
• Job satisfaction
• Opportunity to perform well at challenging work
• Recognition and positive feedback for one’s contributions
• Effort above and beyond the minimum
• Understanding the link between one’s job and the organization’s mission
• Prospects for future growth with one’s employer
• Intention to stay with one’s employer
Engagement is measured with Employee Surveys
Thus, if there were 25 separations during a month and the total number of
employees at mid month was 500, the turnover rate would be:
1–34
Employee Turnover Rates (cont’d)
• Computing Turnover Rates (cont’d):
▪ Another method of computing the turnover rate is one that reflects only the avoidable
separations (S). This rate is computed by subtracting unavoidable separations (US) from
all separations. The formula for this method is as follows:
where M represents the total number of employees at mid month. For example, if there
were 25 separations during a month, 5 of which were US, and the total number of
employees at mid month (M) was 500, the turnover rate would be:
1–35
Employee Absenteeism Rates

Attrition affects HR, other organizational functions as well as business and
delivery.
Impact of Attrition
• It is difficult to find suitable replacements for lost employees,
particularly those with high experience and special skills.
• It takes time, effort and money to recruit new employees having
required skills and experience, to train them and to help them reach
the levels of performance and quality of work, which are comparable
to the lost employees.
• Loss of an employee adversely affects ongoing projects and services,
which leads to dissatisfaction among customers and other
stakeholders.
• It takes time and effort for new employees to achieve the same
levels of expertise and productivity.
• Loss of an employee costs money, which is spent in recruitment,
training and salaries for the new employees, which are often higher
than what the lost employees were getting.
• Employee churn rates can be as high as 12–15% annually. Moreover,
attrition happens throughout the year. Thus, high churn
organizations are continuously engaged in “fire-fighting” attrition.
