Your workforce is the biggest factor in your success. Unfortunately, it is also probably the biggest item on your budget. Find out how you can keep these costs under control.
What is the real cost of hiring employees?
Recruiting expenses alone – advertising, salaries paid to internal staff to conducting interviews and review resumes, drug screens, background checks, employee assessments – can quickly add up to thousands of dollars per hire. In fact, it can cost about $3,500 to fill a minimum-wage position.
What are other staffing expenses to keep in mind?
In addition to recruiting costs, there are expenses associated with managing your team of existing employees. For example, companies spend an average of more than $1,200 annually on training costs alone.
Additionally, benefits can severely hamper your budget, rogue spending can become an issue, and complying with new laws and regulations like the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act can be a daunting task.
