The cost of replacing these “at risk” employees may then be estimated, in any suitable fashion. The budgeted compensation for each “at risk” employee may be compared to an amount calculated based upon the estimated replacement cost for that employee (e.g., a percentage of the estimated replacement cost for the employee). If the budgeted compensation is less than the amount, then a recommendation to increase compensation for the employee may be generated and presented, such as via a graphical user interface. | 03-10-2016 |
