For directors
What are people problems costing your company?
Employee departures, falling productivity, absence and low engagement are not just questions for HR. They affect operating costs, team results and the company's ability to reach its goals. Yet when it comes to deciding where to invest, there is often no clear link between what we know about employees and what matters to the business. Motiva Metrics links employee data to estimated business costs, so you can see more clearly where losses arise, which changes make sense, and how to estimate their possible effects.
Questions that matter to the business
What are our current problems really costing us?
Employee costs are not limited to salaries and benefits. An experienced employee leaving, the time it takes to find a replacement, lost productivity and absence all create additional costs that are rarely brought together in one place. Motiva Metrics links employee data to a financial model that estimates the costs tied to key organisational problems. You can see which items the estimate is made of, which assumptions were used, and how the result changes when you adjust the inputs.
Which changes are worth investing in?
Not every initiative matters equally to every company. A programme that delivers results in one organisation will not necessarily have the same effect in another. Motiva Metrics analyses the factors linked to motivation, engagement and other important outcomes among your employees. Based on those findings you can set priorities and consider which interventions could help improve results.
How do we estimate the potential benefit before we commit the budget?
Decisions about investing in people are often made without a clear enough estimate of their possible financial consequences. The Motiva Metrics financial model lets you change the assumptions and simulate different scenarios. You can compare possible outcomes, see how much the results depend on individual assumptions, and weigh whether the investment is justified before making a final decision.
How do we know whether things have really improved?
Running an initiative does not in itself mean the problem is solved. The agreed activities need to be tracked and the relevant indicators measured again. Motiva Metrics lets you track activities, the people responsible and deadlines, and repeat the measurement. By comparing results over time you can judge whether the indicators have changed and whether the approach needs adjusting.
Where the money actually is
Replacement
Every departure costs roughly 150% of annual salary once lost output, onboarding, recruitment and the load on the remaining team are counted.
Presenteeism
People who are present but not engaged. Usually the line that appears in no report you currently receive.
Lost productivity
The margin difference between an engaged workforce and a disengaged one.
Let us look at what this data means for your company
To start, basic figures on headcount, average pay and turnover are enough. In the call we can show how the financial model works, which assumptions matter, and how the estimates connect to employee data.
