Companies can tell you what they spent on hiring last year. Almost none can tell you what they spent on people leaving. This piece puts the two columns of the ledger side by side — what the hiring budget records, and what attrition never shows — and gives five numbers that make the invisible half visible.

Most turnover conversations stop at the recruitment fee, which is the smallest line on the invoice. This piece lays out the four-part model — separation, vacancy, replacement and ramp-up — and shows why the requisition you are asked to approve prices only one of them.
