Connecticut · The cost of turnover
Turnover is the most expensive line item on your floor.
In manufacturing and logistics, replacing hourly workers costs far more than any bill-rate difference between staffing vendors. Here is what the industry data says — and how we change it in Connecticut.
What churn runs in this industry.
Annual turnover benchmarks. These are industry figures — not Lingo client results — and they are why "cheapest bill rate" is usually the most expensive way to staff.
The signals inside the churn.
25% left for a better job
Pay and schedule competitiveness matter more than most plants assume. (SIA)
15% left because the job was not what they were told
Expectation-setting is a retention lever, not a recruiting detail. (SIA)
5.1% monthly turnover in transportation & warehousing
Roughly your whole crew over an 18-month span, at the early-2025 pace. (BLS)
Top firms redeploy 40–60% of their workers
Below 25% means you are paying to re-recruit people you already had. (SIA)
What is turnover costing your floor?
Set your headcount and annual turnover — we’ll do the replacement math with the industry’s $3,000–$5,000 cost per warehouse exit.
At $3,000–$5,000 per exit (SHRM / industry research) — before the shifts you ran short, the overtime to cover them, and the throughput you never got back. Industry benchmarks, not Lingo client results.
Churn is a process problem. We run the process.
A screened local bench
Our Connecticut recruiters vet people before your order lands — so fills happen the same week, often next day, with workers who actually live near your site and shift.
Honest expectations up front
15% of temps quit because the job wasn’t what they were told. We set pay, shift, and duties straight before day one — expectation-setting is a retention lever.
Redeployment, not re-recruiting
Proven workers move to their next Lingo assignment instead of back to the market — you get people with a track record we’ve already seen.
The 8-Hour Guarantee
If an associate isn’t working out in their first 8 hours, you are not billed for that time — we still pay them, and we put a replacement on your next shift.
