Did you know, replacing a single employee can cost you between 0.5 to 2 times₁ the employee’s yearly salary? That means a $45,000 salaried employee could cost anywhere from $22,500 to $90,000 to replace. Yikes.

So where does this money go? Why does it cost so much to replace an employee?

Here’s the problem: You invest a considerable amount of time, money and energy into training a new employee. And let’s say you even worked with an orthodontic consultant to get your employee professionally trained—then the employee decides to leave.

### In this whitepaper we explore

- The true cost of staying on the hamster wheel of unemployment
- How to be proactive in avoiding this common pitfall
- How we can help your team save time and resources - and provide a better patient experience
