FOR CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICERS

Measure the True Cost of Workforce Attrition

Turnover isn't just an HR problemβ€”it's a $150K+ expense per departure. PulseFeed gives you predictive analytics to prevent attrition before it impacts your bottom line. Quantifiable ROI in under 90 days.

The Hidden Costs CFOs Need to Track

$150K Per Departure

Replacement costs (recruiting, onboarding, lost productivity) average 1.5-2x annual salary. One prevented departure pays for PulseFeed annually.

Legal Risk Exposure

Employment litigation averages $250K-$500K in settlements. Early detection of harassment or discrimination prevents lawsuits before they start.

Productivity Drain

Disengaged employees cost 34% more in lost productivity. Burnout creates absenteeism, errors, and customer service failures.
