Golf Staff Retention Calculator | Golf Jobs

What's the True Cost of Staff Leaving Your Golf Business?

Small improvements in retention create huge savings. Calculate exactly how much.

Every golf course owner knows staff turnover is expensive. But how expensive?

Most underestimate the true cost by 50-70%. This calculator reveals your actual minimum losses from staff turnover - the hidden drain on your profits that you can measure, track, and most importantly, reduce.

Built specifically for golf businesses, it accounts for the unique challenges of seasonal hiring, specialised training, and member relationship management that generic calculators miss.

💡 Think about it: If replacing one person costs £5,000 (recruiting, training, lost productivity), then keeping just 2 more people next season instantly saves £10,000. That's pure profit to your bottom line.

Calculate Your Minimum Staff Turnover Costs

And work out how much your business could save if your staff retention rate improved even slightly

⚠️ Important: This calculator shows MINIMUM costs only. Real costs are typically 1.5–2× higher due to factors we can't measure (reputation damage, team morale, lost knowledge). Use this as your baseline.
