Lost to turnover & disengagement so far this year per your team of 100, at your current rate
Your people's soft skills determine whether they get promoted, trusted, and given bigger work - especially now, as AI reshapes what "valuable" means. See how investing in soft skills pays for itself many times over.
A one-time investment: benefits embed in Year 1, then fade without reinforcement (Ebbinghaus). Conservative baseline.
Lost to avoidable turnover and disengagement across your team - money leaving the business every year you wait.
A point estimate using BLS and Gallup benchmarks - not your internal data. Benefits spread across three years because behavior change embeds gradually. For a rigorous range with confidence intervals, book a scoping call below.
Engaged teams are 21-26% more productive (Gallup).
A productivity gain has to be valued against something. We use fully-loaded cost - the floor on an employee's output value, since a firm pays at least what it receives.
Revenue per employee overstates - it reflects capital and scale, not one person's output (a bank's revenue rides on its balance sheet). Profit per employee understates - thin-margin but vital sectors like education and healthcare would show almost no value, which is clearly wrong. Fully-loaded cost is the honest middle, in absolute terms as well as in theory.

This calculator gives you a benchmark. Whether a full, rigorous analysis would add real value depends on your situation - and that's what a 30-minute call is for. The call is free, with no obligation. If a detailed analysis would help, we run it against your actual data - a Monte Carlo simulation producing an ROI range with confidence intervals - and email you the results within one business week, for a modest fee scoped to your situation.

Benefit = cost avoided plus productivity, realized on an Ebbinghaus embedding curve - a one-time investment embeds then fades without reinforcement, while ongoing investment sustains and compounds it (Melin & Correll, 2022; supported by Joie-La Marle et al., 2023, on training-driven performance gains).
