Turnover is the most expensive line item nobody budgets for. Every departure costs recruitment, clearance, training and a period of reduced service quality.
Fix the rotation before the salary
Unpredictable rotations drive more resignations than pay. Published schedules, honoured leave dates and reliable relief cover are the cheapest retention tools available.
Show people the next step
A kitchen assistant who can see the route to chef de partie stays. Progression needs to be written down, tied to training and reviewed on a fixed date, not promised in passing.
- Documented progression path for every role
- Training hours tracked per person, not per site
- Supervisors promoted from within wherever possible
Treat accommodation as part of the offer
On remote contracts, living conditions are the job. Clean rooms, reliable power and decent food for the crew are retention infrastructure, not overhead.
