Fluctuation is a part of a company's life. As long as it's not high, it can even be beneficial to the company to a certain extent. New people bring a breath of fresh air and offer you a different perspective on your work. The more skilled ones will bring innovations that you can benefit from for years.

Some studies suggest that the loss of an employee costs a company as much as 33% of that employee’s annual income.
Companies spend a lot of time and money trying to properly replace an employee who has decided to leave the company. Some studies suggest that Losing an employee costs a company up to 33% of that employee's annual income.
Let's take a model example to see what consequences this could have for your company in the Slovak reality.
The average gross labor costs are around €20,000 per year. If we were to base our calculations on a study indicating that the loss of an employee „costs“ a company 33% of that employee’s salary, we would arrive at a figure of €6,700.
