Careers Section: You Hired 'Em. But Can You Keep 'Em?
http://cgi.pathfinder.com/fortune/careers/1998/11/09/car.html
Employee turnover makes the economic costs of an almost frictionless
turnstile too high to disregard. Human resources executives estimate
that when all factors are considered--not only the headhunter's fee
but also the defector's lost leads and contacts, the new employee's
depressed productivity while they are learning, and the time co-workers
spend guiding the new employee -- replacement costs can be as much
as 150% of the departing person's salary.
