MAKE THE CHANGE
Instead of:
Vacancy age without economic context.
Ask:
What is this unresolved gap costing us every week?
EXAMPLE
Without a particular capability, a team loses a week's worth of productive work every month and has to pay for temporary support. The cost keeps growing while the requisition sits open.
HOW TO USE IT
Estimate the ongoing weekly or monthly cost of the missing capability. Put that rate next to the search timeline so a delay is treated as a financial decision rather than a calendar inconvenience.
SAY IT TO LEADERSHIP
Every month this capability is missing has a cost. We should know roughly how much we're burning before deciding another month of waiting is acceptable.
NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH
Cost of Absence: Absence Burn is the loss as a rate, per week or month; Cost of Absence is the total.
