ROI calculator
What is motivating your people worth?
Fourteen figures about your organisation, and you get a clear calculation.
Enter headcount, pay and turnover rate, plus what one departure actually costs. Replacement and recruitment costs start from SHRM data unless you change them yourself.

Want this as a document?
We will email you a PDF with every value you set, where the saving comes from, the three-year projection and the assumptions behind all of it.
The model follows SHRM's turnover cost methodology (replacement ≈ 150% of annual salary, recruitment ≈ 20% of replacement) and the AIHR framework for valuing people programmes; the productivity, absence and presenteeism weightings come from Gallup's 2024 meta-analysis of 180,000 teams across 50 industries. It estimates what a programme for retaining and motivating employees is worth.
See it run on your own measurement
Everything above is an assumption. After a measurement the same model runs on what your people actually answered - and tells you which predictors are producing the cost.
