Business Case - How talent retention can protect six figures of value

A SaaS/Tech company is losing six high-potential Gen-Y/Z employees per year.
At an average annual salary of €75,000, these are not ordinary departures.

For technical roles, Gallup estimates replacement costs at around 80% of annual salary.
For leaders, managers, and particularly critical talent, the cost can reach up to 200%—once recruiting, ramp-up time, lost productivity, institutional knowledge, and team disruption are included.

That means retaining just one critical high-potential employee could protect up to:

€150,000 in avoidable turnover cost

Retain three—and you could protect up to:

€450,000 in avoidable turnover cost

Illustrative scenario based on a €75,000 annual salary and a replacement-cost range of 80% to 200%, depending on role criticality, seniority and labour-market conditions.
