Why Disengagement Costs More Than You Think
Gallup research shows most organizations have roughly one-third of employees engaged, nearly half not engaged, and around 18% actively disengaged. Disengagement shows up as lower output, higher absenteeism, and elevated turnover — a direct drag on operating profit.
What This Calculator Measures
- Productivity Loss: 34% salary loss for actively disengaged, 18% for not-engaged (Gallup)
- Excess Turnover: Actively disengaged leave 2× more; not-engaged leave 1.3× more than baseline
- Absenteeism: ~3.5 extra days/yr (disengaged) and ~1.5 extra days/yr (not engaged)
- Replacement Cost: 50% of annual salary (conservative SHRM benchmark)
Disclaimer: Directional estimates based on Gallup engagement benchmarks and SHRM replacement-cost ranges. Actual outcomes will vary by industry, workforce composition, and program quality.
