When someone leaves, it’s not just a role to refill - it’s time, money, and momentum lost. High staff turnover can quietly drain your business.

💸 The Real Costs:

  • Recruitment & Training - Ads, interviews, onboarding - it all adds up.
  • Lost Productivity - New hires take time to reach full speed.
  • Team Disruption - Morale and workflow take a hit with every exit.

  • Feeling unsupported or unheard
