What are vacancy costs?

Vacancy costs are the estimated losses in revenue that a company’s faces due to vacancies and describes the business impact of the shortage of skilled workers. Today, many organizations tend to have a strong focus on cost minimization, overlooking the potential long-term and negative impact of how they handle vacancies. Consequently, there is a discrepancy between understanding a vacancy as saving costs or as an investment.

Unresolved personnel issues are widely spread among German medium-sized businesses.

This is why it is extremely vital to analyse the economic consequences of the lack of an efficient employee in key positions within your company.
