Hi Peer,
I went through your excel sheet. When doing the HR Recuitment budget, you have to project the figures in the begining of the Financial year. So based on the turnover percentage of the previous year, you need to allocate the buffer expenses for that year also because we are not sure as to how many people will quit this year and how many to be recruited thru consultants and referrals.
So to cut down this expense only we need to go in for retention programme like soft awards, cash incentives, vacation package, etc.
Your sheet takes into account that you recruited 13 overall. What is the case if new projects come and there is a need for mass recruitment unexpectedly? Hope you now got my point.
Regards,
