[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 216211, member: 9789"] Texas - I was a hub manager and a training manager in an air hub with over 1400 employees. During some weeks we were training between 30 to 60 new hires. The average was around 20. Training new hires is a losing proposition. In an air hub the training cost is approx $4k to train one employee. Depending on the operation you can lose between .5 and 3 pph for every 5 new hires you train. Those numbers can rise steadily if the opderation is even smaller. Bottom Line... Retaining employees is more cost effective than turning them over. New hires cost the company in every area - including safety, service and performance. Unfortunately some managers don't see it that way. They would much rather get rid of someone that is not performing than work with them to get the performance up to standard. I was at odds with some of the managers over this point. Employees that perform within the first couple of weeks are the exception not the norm. [/QUOTE]
