猎头看世界: 雇员离职的真实成本

雇员离职的真实成本

雇员招聘的成本很多公司都会注意和衡量，但雇员离职（Employee Turnover）的成本就不是很多企业在具体衡量。 根据美国的一项最近调查，企业年平均的跳槽率大概是12%，新招聘的需求很多（75%）都是替代离职员工留下的缺口。

好消息是有很多工具来降低雇员离职的可能，包括提升、加薪、培训、福利、沟通。但坏消息是这些方法，或者说在人力资源上的投资都很费钱。企业也不可能为了留住一些员工无限制的满足他们的需求，也会打破企业内部的结构平衡。雇员离职带来的成本是对企业盈利底线（Bottom Line）直接的负面因素。

企业家都喜欢用盈亏平衡法来比较投资方案，同样公司的HR部门也应该了解雇员保留的成本（投资）和雇员离职的成本之间关系。当雇员离职成本远大于雇员保留成本（投资）时候，企业家必须要考虑提升在人力资源保留上的投资。反之，企业也知道自己为了保留关键员工的投资的底线在哪里。

HR部门为了能够进行这样的计算，就必须首先计算雇员离职的真实成本。根据H.L. Smith, W.E. Watkins 和Cascio，这个主要包括4大部分：

第一、分离成本 Seperation Cost

离职面试（Exit Interview）
行政人员为离职人员所付出时间
离职支付（separation/severance pay）
失业赔偿（可能包括竞业协议赔偿等等）
第二、空缺成本 Vacancy Cost

为了替补离职空缺而增加的临时人力投入
第三、替换成本 Replacement Cost

吸引候选人
面试
测试
旅行支付/候选人搬迁支付
入职相关手续
体检
候选人信息分析和处理
第四、培训成本 Training Cost

【TZ按】根据以上的研究，雇员离职的计算器（表格，参见所附的计算样本）也就应运而生了。在运用雇员离职的计算器时，企业可以根据自己情况更改、删除、添加相关的项目来得到最后的结果。
