Why invest in Progress to Partner for your high potential senior fee earners
The problem: How to retain and develop your senior fee earners
You Need
You need to be seen to invest in your top talent to help them progress their career or risk losing them to your competitors
Talented senior individuals are hard to replace right now
But
Executive Coaching is very expensive
Senior fee earners have individual development needs that can’t be cost effectively met by providing a training programme which is why Executive Coaching is most often used to developing senior fee earners
Partners are struggling to find the time to develop this kind of development (and may not want to or have the skills to do this)
What is the cost of replacing a senior fee earner?
It is estimated that to replace a salaried employee it can cost, on average, between 6-9 months salary
The fee to the headhunter
Opportunity cost while transitioning to the new fee
earner
Risk of clients following the exiting fee earner
Cost of gardening leave, i.e. paying the exiting fee earner to not work
Time for new fee earner to get up to speed
What is the answer?
