𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴: "To address this weakness, I am already taking an online course on [topic] to close this gap. I always actively seek opportunities for learning and growth, whether through formal training programs, mentorship, or self-directed study." Remember to tailor your response to the context of the interview, ensure that the weakness you describe is not a core requirement for the job, and emphasise the proactive steps you have taken to improve.

Given that the cost of staff turnover is 25% or more of an annual salary, what measures are companies taking to retain their staff? It's anticipated that it will take 40 days to replace an employee, and an additional 60 days for the new recruit to become productive in their new role. This amounts to a total of 100 days of lost productivity, along with other recruitment, onboarding, and training expenses. Curious about what employee turnover is costing your company?
