5% of Annual Salary—A Strategic Investment in Retaining High-Potential Talent

Dedicating 5% of an annual salary to developing your high-potential employees isn’t just about growth; it’s about building the reciprocal commitment needed to retain top talent. Innovative companies recognize that small, strategic investments pay off by strengthening loyalty and reducing costly turnover.

Why 5%? Industry research supports this figure as an optimal investment, balancing cost and impact. Companies focused on long-term success use this benchmark to drive employee engagement and resilience while retaining high performers.

The Cost-Saving Case: Replacing a high-potential employee costs up to 200% of their annual salary when factoring in recruitment, onboarding, and lost productivity. By investing just 5%, you’re significantly reducing turnover risk and fostering a culture of loyalty and development.
