The High Cost of Early Turnover: Why Your Talent Is Walking Out the Door (and What to Do About It)

Employee turnover is always costly - but when new hires leave just days or weeks after joining, the ripple effects across your organization are especially damaging. Early turnover drains time, budgets, and morale. It can also reveal cracks in your recruiting, onboarding, hiring, and leadership strategies.

Orion’s new resource, The High Cost of Early Turnover, explains the full cost of early turnover; and more importantly, what to do about it.

Early Turnover Is More Than a Hiring Problem
It often stems from misalignment across onboarding, training, and culture—not just poor hiring.

The Costs Add Up—Fast
Early attrition can drain 25–45% of your payroll through lost productivity, overtime, and disengagement.

Onboarding & First Impressions Matter
Week one sets the tone—missed clarity or connection can drive people away fast.

Data Can Show You the Way
Tracking early exits by role, manager, or location helps you find patterns and take action.

Not sure where to start? Start tracking early turnover patterns. Look at turnover by role, location, manager, or source. This kind of visibility can help you intervene earlier—and build stronger foundations for long-term success.
