Are Unfilled Positions Costing Your Organization Money?
Although this may seem like a cost-saving measure when you view salaries and total headcount, leaving staff positions empty could actually be costing your organization money.
Let’s first consider what operating with a personnel deficit can do to your current employees and your organization as a whole. Increased demand on staff often leads to low employee morale, decreased productivity, and increased turnover. When staff members are overloaded, they generate fewer ideas, which can impact fundraising efforts and the progress and growth of the organization. The combination of employees being overworked and working outside their area of expertise can result in missed deadlines and impede your organization’s ability to fulfill your vision and mission. In addition, not operating at capacity can have a considerable impact on employee satisfaction, work-life balance, and the overall success of the organization.
While your goal is to always be a good steward of the money you’ve been given, operating with vacancies can impact your ability to do so. Rather than looking at the cost of the salary and benefits associated with an open position as “money saved,” consider the positive contribution that position will have in helping your organization operate effectively and efficiently.
