The Attrition Tax
What losing people really costs a contact centre — and the business case to stop it.
Attrition usually shows up as a percentage on an HR dashboard and a recruitment cost in finance. For the workforce planner it is something bigger and quieter: a tax on capacity, service and quality that the headline figure barely hints at. This masterclass takes attrition apart from the planner’s side — the fully-loaded cost of one leaver, why it compounds through the ramp and the vacancy gap, the service damage it does, and how to turn all of that into a business case that funds the fix.
