"People Report continues to find that businesses that consistently measure human capital have better results in terms of turnover & comp sales," says People Report President, Teresa Siriani. "The majority of People Report member companies have 5% less management turnover and up to 20% less hourly turnover than the industry average. At a cost of nearly $20,000 per manager lost and $2400 per hourly, these savings alone contribute significantly to increased margins."

"We (People Report) are proud to continue to add leading companies to the membership consortium as it adds depth and richness to the data we provide our members quarterly," shares Shyam Patel, Vice President and Senior Research Analyst. "We are especially excited to see such growth in the QSR and Fast Casual segments."
