Extreme Labor Turnover & Staff Replacement Costs
Definition
The administrative services industry faces persistent high turnover stemming from the 'Great Resignation.' This creates cascading costs: constant recruitment expense, training time loss, reduced service quality during onboarding, client dissatisfaction, and revenue impact. For SMB admin services firms, turnover directly undermines service delivery capacity and client retention. Firms struggle with inconsistent hiring—job openings surge while hiring remains flat and separations outpace new hires. This workforce instability is significantly higher in professional services than the broader national labor market, creating competitive disadvantage for regional SMBs trying to maintain consistent staffing levels.
