Staff Turnover Is Costing You More Than You Think

The Hidden Cost of Losing Good People

Your office manager quit last month. You were shocked — you thought she was happy.

Now you’re scrambling: covering her duties, training a new person, dealing with the chaos of transition. Replacing one good office manager typically runs $50k–$100k:

• Recruiting & hiring: $5k–$10k
• Training: $10k–$20k
• Lost productivity during ramp-up: $20k–$40k
• Errors during ramp: $5k–$10k
• Domino turnover (when one leaves, others follow): $5k–$10k

Why It Happens

People feel undervalued, underpaid, or unsupported — and you usually don’t know which until they’re gone. That visibility gap is what AileronMD Consult closes: a monthly read on staff retention, training investment, and turnover risk against your specialty median.
