DENVER, Dec. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CirrusMD today announced the results of a 15-month study measuring the effect of virtual care on employee turnover.

The Importance of Reducing Employee Turnover Labor costs account for the largest operating expense at many US companies. To lower these costs, employers regularly look for ways to reduce employee turnover. An April 2022 benchmark study by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) found that the average cost to hire a new employee was approximately $4,700. With the additional hard and soft costs of recruiting, onboarding and training a new employee, the total cost can equal three to four times an employee's salary, according to Edie Goldberg, founder of talent management company E.L. Goldberg & Associates. "This study demonstrates the positive impact that comes when employees are offered a genuinely different experience that conforms to the way they want to consume healthcare," said Jamie Hall, President & CEO, CirrusMD. "By enabling them to begin consulting with a physician on demand in less than 60 seconds, we've taken something that's traditionally been convoluted, time-consuming, and inequitable and made it effortless and inclusive."
