Cost Savings by Competencies Assessment
| Cost of Hiring the Wrong Leader/Staff | ||
|---|---|---|
| Direct Cost | Indirect Cost | |
| Formula |
Total Cost of a Bad Hire (TCBH) = ROC + TC + SC + LPC Eg: TCBH (Manager @ 100k) = 10000 + 7000 + 7000 + 30000 = 54,000 TCBH (Accountant @ 70k) = 7000 + 4900 + 4900 + 21000 = 37,800 |
|
| Description | Recruitment & onboarding: 10%–15% of annual base salary | Lost productivity: 30% of annual salary |
| Training: 7%–10% of annual base salary | Impact on team morale: Priceless | |
| Severance: 7%–14% of annual base salary | Damage to company reputation: Long-term | |
Why Competencies Assessment?
| ROI and Cost Savings with Online Assessment Tools | |
|---|---|
| Recruitment & Selection | Leadership & Professional Development |
|
Cost of assessment tools (e.g., VERA8, Talentx7, Extended DISC™): NZD 400 per person per test Example for 1 employee: Total Cost: 1 employees × NZD 400 + Debriefing 400 = NZD 800
Initial Cost: NZD 800 Savings by one position: NZD 54,000 (Manager) NZD 37,800 (Professional Staff) |
Savings = 1 × 54,000 × 0.15=$8100 (Manager) Savings = 1 × 37,800 × 0.15=$5670 (Professional Staff)
Productivity Gain = 100,000×0.10=$10000
