Involuntary Departures
Involuntary departures are employee exits initiated by the employer, such as terminations, layoffs, or redundancies. Tracking involuntary departure rate (or involuntary turnover rate) helps HR understand performance issues, structural changes, and cultural risks inside the organization. This guide explains what involuntary departures are, how to calculate the rate using the formula Involuntary Departures in the period ÷ Average Headcount (where Average Headcount = (Headcount at start of period + Headcount at end of period) ÷ 2), what data you need, and why this metric should be part of your standard HR reporting
Read postFixed Costs
Fixed costs are the expenses that do not change based on business activity — things like rent, software licenses, and workforce salary costs. In HR, fixed labor costs represent the predictable portion of employee expenses, typically calculated as the sum of the current annual pay for all active employees at the measurement date. Understanding fixed costs helps HR and People Ops teams forecast budgets, model headcount scenarios, communicate financial impact to executives, and align people strategy to business performance.

This guide explains what a QBR is, how to prepare, which HR metrics to include, and how to build a board-ready presentation that drives action.

A Value Creation Plan (VCP) is a strategic blueprint developed by private equity firms and their portfolio companies to increase enterprise value during the investment period. It lays out clear financial and operational goals — often across revenue growth, margin improvement, talent optimization, and strategic initiatives — and defines how those targets will be achieved, who owns them, and when.
