The following was printed in BRW magazine on 15th September 2011.
“ Reload Media has calculated an $11 return on investment for every $1 spent on staff benefits, which it sees as integral to maintaining a strong corporate culture and retaining staff. In the past twelve months Reload has spent about $80,000 on benefits such as supporting office sporting teams, massage therapists, training, i-phones, a games room and interstate and overseas trips.
General manager Craig Somerville says Reload has a staff turnover that betters the industry average by about 20%. For a team of about 40, that equates to 8 people that should have left but didn’t.
Somerville estimates the cost to train new staff members is about $20,000 each and therefore the company has saved about $160,000 (8 x $20,000). In addition, client revenue is up about $720,000 in the past twelve months, adjusted for normal growth, so Somerville counts a total positive impact of $880,000, or $11 for every $1 spent o corporate culture”.
