How much is an employee worth? This may sound like a simple question. One only needs to calculate how much that person is paid plus any benefits such as health insurance or other benefits and consider that as the cost of that employee right? No.
An employee – a really good employee – may be priceless to the company. A great employee is much more than the salary that is paid to that employee. A great employee provides leadership to his or her peers. A great employee provides reliable quality and inspiration to the company as well as to the rest of the staff. A great employee will be invaluable to the company.
This is why in an article in September 2015 in the Times of India it was reported that t he latest big problem at India’s top internet companies is attrition – particularly in the senior ranks.
Prized, quality employees are tremendously sought out by all companies. There are even stories of a company BUYING another company JUST so that the acquiring company can get an key employee who works for the acquired company. Indeed, Sunit Mehra, who is a managing partner at an executive recruitment company in India by the name of Hunt Partners stated that Internet companies in India “are growing so rapidly that they haven’t built the fundamental concept of retaining people, especially at the top-level.”
