According to the Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM), replacing an employee can cost a company 50% to 200% of their salary. An SME Membership helps mitigate these losses by fostering a skilled and engaged workforce.

By leveraging the resources and connections provided by an SME Corporate Membership, companies can enhance their competitiveness, foster employee growth, and drive overall business success.
