You have 225 employees in Technology, where the average annual attrition rate is 13%. That means roughly 29 people are leaving your organization every year.
Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics Industry Attrition Data
2
Of those 29 exits, approximately 30% are considered regrettable, people who could have been retained with earlier intervention. That is 9 preventable exits per year.
Source: SHRM, 30% of voluntary exits are considered regrettable on average

Each regrettable exit costs roughly 1.5x the departing employee's salary to replace. At your average salary of $600, that is $1,000 per exit, and 9 exits adds up to $8,000 annually.

Gallup consistently finds that around 20% of employees at any organization are actively disengaged. In your organization of 225 people, that is an estimated 45 employees showing up but not fully contributing.

Each disengaged employee costs approximately 34% of their annual salary in lost productivity. At your average salary of $600, that is $0 per person per year.

45 disengaged employees x $0 lost per person = $9,000 walking out of your business every year, from people still on your payroll.

With 225 employees and an average team size of 8, your organization has approximately 29 managers. Research shows 15% of managers are actively underperforming at any given time, an estimated 4 managers in your organization right now.

Each underperforming manager affects the output of their entire team. Across 4 managers and their 35 direct reports, a 20% productivity loss compounds quickly.

35 employees x 20% productivity loss x $600 average salary = $4,000 in lost output every year, from teams that could be performing better with the right support.

At your headcount of 225, your organization likely has around 3 HR professionals based on standard HR-to-employee ratios. These are the people responsible for running your performance management process.
Source: SHRM HR-to-Employee Ratio Benchmarking Report

Research shows HR teams spend approximately 60% of their time on administrative tasks, chasing completions, managing process, answering questions. At an average HR salary of $85,000, that is $153,000 in capacity spent on work that should not require a human.

That is 3,744 hours per year your HR team cannot spend on retention conversations, performance risk, or strategic decisions. The cost is not just financial. It is the strategy that never happened.

ON ATTRITION
Copy

We are losing an estimated $8,000 every year to regrettable turnover alone. The majority of those exits were preventable with earlier visibility into who was disengaging.

ON DISENGAGEMENT
Copy

Roughly 20% of our workforce is disengaged at any given time. That costs us an estimated $9,000 annually in lost productivity, from people who are still on the payroll.

ON MANAGER EFFECTIVENESS
Copy

One underperforming manager quietly costs us an estimated $4,000 through their impact on team output. We currently have no systematic way to identify or address this early.

ON HR CAPACITY
Copy

Our HR team is spending an estimated $153,000 a year on admin work that should not require a human. That is capacity we are not putting toward retention, performance risk, or strategic decisions.

These numbers are calculated from your inputs using benchmarks from Gallup, SHRM, and Deloitte.
WHAT'S RECOVERABLE

If you recovered just 20%,
here's what's back on the table.

A conservative 20% recovery scenario, applied across attrition, engagement, manager effectiveness, and HR capacity. Illustrative only. Your actual recovery depends on where you focus and how quickly you act.

Regrettable Attrition Cost

Disengagement Productivity Drain

Manager Ineffectiveness Multiplier

HR Capacity Lost to Admin
$31,000
Total recoverable annually
$35,000

Based on your inputs and industry benchmarks, this is what's typically recoverable when performance becomes proactive.
