Overview
LGPE-CAT — Lifetime Gross Profit per Employee, measured against Cost At Turnover — is the equation that ends the people-cost argument with your CFO once and for all. Most organizations calculate turnover using replacement cost, and badly undercount what a departure truly costs. This framework reveals the full lost value of every exit — and the gap is often six times larger than leaders assume. Once you can put a defensible number on retention, “invest in our people” stops being a soft request and becomes the highest-margin decision on the table.
