The cost of poor talent management is usually hidden.
The company sees salaries, bonuses and commissions, but doesn't always calculate the cost of turnover, unnecessary hiring, manual spreadsheets, low productivity or underused talent.
Cost of turnover
Losing key talent means replacement, ramp-up, loss of knowledge and commercial risk.
Cost of recruitment
Every external process has a direct cost, a time cost and an opportunity cost.
Cost of manual spreadsheets
Commissions and bonuses calculated by hand consume hours, reviews and explanations.
Cost of underused talent
The company is paying for capabilities it isn't using well.
Cost of low transparency
Opaque bonuses create demotivation, disputes and loss of trust.
Cost of poor assignment
Assigning people poorly to projects reduces productivity, margin and speed.
