During the employees working period, the employee would have accumulated experience and developed their skills whilst working for that business. Finding a new employee will be easy to find however they will not encounter the same knowledge and level of experience. ‘On average the cost of replacing an employee is £30,000, it also takes up 28 weeks on average for a new recruit to get up to speed.’ When employees decide to leave the company, the employer should preform an exit interview. During the exit interview, the employer may discover the reason/s why the employee wants to leave. It may be that he/she feels as if they are not being paid enough. Employers can try to resolve the issues, which may reduce the risk of other employees leaving the company. This improves performance as retaining staff means that you will have more employees working for. A great number of employees mean that you are more likely to make more profit at a faster rate, this will have a positive impact on the business’ financial performance. Retaining staff also means that they will continue to develop their skills and accumulate experience even further. Once a staff member has been there for a long time they may be promoted to a managerial role.
