How it’s measured operationally
Beyond survey measurement, this construct is also tracked as an operational metric from records:
The total cost incurred by the organization to replace employees who left during a period.
Average cost to replace one employee × Number of leavers in period · currencyThe average cost to hire and fully onboard a replacement for one departed employee.
Cost-per-hire + onboarding and training costs per replacement · currency§3The math on what we know
Synthesized priors from the live registry: pooled r, studies (k), total N, top study grade, and heterogeneity. Rows flagged for heterogeneity or single-study evidence are directional, not settled — read them as a central tendency.
