💼📉 Less Likely to Get Fired? The Cost of Losing Employees Is Skyrocketing

If you’ve been feeling nervous about job security lately, here’s a little good news for workers: it’s getting REALLY expensive for companies to lose you. 💸

According to a new report, 50% of hiring managers expect employee turnover to CLIMB in 2026, which is up big from 39% last year and 33% just two years ago. And that’s not just an inconvenience — it’s hitting companies right in the wallet.

💰 The average cost of an employee leaving is now over $45,200, which is a huge jump from about $36,700 last year. Between recruiting, training, lost productivity, and onboarding someone new, turnover is no longer “no big deal.”

And the pain is even worse for big companies. 📊About 64% of organizations with 500+ employees expect turnover to increase, compared to smaller businesses that are feeling it a little less intensely.

So why are people bouncing? 🚪Some of the biggest reasons include:

• 📈 Increased workplace demands
• 🔥 A competitive job market
• 💵 Better pay and benefits elsewhere
• 🔄 People switching careers entirely

All of that adds up to one big shift in power. Employers may still hold the keys… but they’re thinking twice before showing someone the door.

Bottom line? You might be more valuable — and more expensive to replace — than you think. 😏
