Not a very informative article. The costs are high, so try to minimize turnover. It's simple.
- bsilvereagle 10y agoI think you missed the forest for the trees - the author clearly states that a quantitative approach to understanding turnover is needed and that everyone knows "The costs are high, so try to minimize turnover. It's simple." but it's hard to take action on a qualitative indicator. He then presents what appears to be a reasonable equation to estimate how much turnover costs a company.
- muninn_ 10y agoThe "quantitative approach" here is hardly worth considering. Maybe I should write for Medium. I could just as easily throw a bunch of crap together and call it journalism and provide some random numbers and factors and call that an equation!
- tokenizerrr 10y ago> Maybe I should write for Medium Considering this is a medium opinion piece, which are essentially blogs, you very well could.
- innocentoldguy 10y agoI wouldn't consider Medium "journalism." I've written an article or two on the platform, but I don't recall anybody doing any fact-checking or editing on my work. Medium is just a place where people go to say stuff, and should be valued accordingly.
- dandandan 10y agoI don't think many orgs actually quantify the cost which is the point the article is trying to make. Figure out what it costs _you_.
- muninn_ 10y agoYeah everybody knows that, so what was the point of the article?
- IanCal 10y agoIf measuring the cost is important and not many organisations do it, then clearly some people might benefit from hearing this.
- rbcgerard 10y agoIf everyone know that, then why don't organizations prioritize this relative to the size of the potential cost?
- muninn_ 10y agoBecause they are doing other things
