Your best people are leaving.
Do you know what that’s costing you?
Most New Zealand organisations are haemorrhaging talent — and the financial damage is far larger than the recruitment bill. This free calculator shows you the real number, and what career pathways can do about it.
Turnover isn’t a people problem.
It’s a business model problem.
New Zealand organisations are treating staff departure as an inevitable cost of doing business. It isn’t. Behind every exit is an avoidable organisational failure — and a growing financial liability most leaders have never properly measured.
The number on your balance sheet is the tip of the iceberg.
Recruitment costs are visible. The invoice lands, it gets approved, and it gets filed. But the real cost of losing a valued team member runs far deeper — and most organisations never measure it.
Vacancy productivity loss, ramp-up drag, team morale impact, and customer disruption can multiply your direct costs by 1.2 to 1.5 times. For a professional earning $85,000, the true cost of losing them can exceed $120,000 — before you’ve even posted the job ad.
Your organisation.
Your real number.
Built on New Zealand benchmark data. Adjust the inputs to match your workforce — and see what reducing turnover by even five percentage points is worth.
Ready to close the gap between your current and target turnover?
Interactive career pathways give your people a clear picture of where they can go — and a compelling reason to stay. Let’s talk about what that looks like for your organisation →
Career pathways aren’t a nice-to-have. They’re the fix.
Research consistently shows career development is one of the top three drivers of voluntary resignation. When people can see a future — a real, mapped, achievable future — inside your organisation, they stop looking outside it.
Visible progression
Interactive pathway maps show every team member exactly what the next role looks like, what skills it requires, and what closing the gap actually involves. No guesswork. No ambiguity.
Internal mobility
When your best people are ready for more, they find it inside your organisation — not by handing in their notice. Internal movement costs a fraction of external replacement.
Measurable ROI
Even a five percentage point reduction in voluntary turnover can return hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. The calculator above shows you exactly what your number looks like.
