Employee Retention
In 'Toxic Culture is Driving the Great Resignation,' Donald and Charles Sull report that toxic work culture is 10.4 times more likely to contribute to attrition rates than rates of compensation.
​
In 2021, The Predictive Index surveyed 326 executives about the "Great Resignation."
The survey found that the average cost of a single resignation is $11,372 per employee and that 20% of employees have quit in the past six months. At a 500-person organization, if 100 people leave, this could cost a company nearly $1 million.
