When people quit your organization, it can feel like one giant step backwards after many small steps forward. So why are so many people leaving? It could be because they never should've been hired in the first place.

Employees with less than one year of service have the highest turnover rate of any tenured group that separated in 2016. 38% of new hires left in their first year. So, what's wrong?

High turnover is often the result of failing to make the right hiring decision from the start. 

According to Josh Bersin of Bersin by Deloitte, a new employee can take almost two years to reach full productivity. Yes, you read that correctly.

To make matters worse, losing an employee can cost up to 213% of the salary for a highly trained position. So, losing an executive that is making $150,000 a year would actually cost your business $319,500.

Feeling demoralized? It doesn't have to be this way.

A performance-based hiring approach (as invented by The Adler Group) will help you identify and hire top talent that sticks around for the long haul. At HNI, we've adopted this methodology ourselves to great fanfare.
