How we calculate it
A deliberately conservative model. Most organisations find the true cost is higher once reputation and team morale are counted.
- Hourly cost: salary plus 25% on-costs, over 1,720 working hours a year
- Manager & HR time: hours per week × weeks × 1.4 seniority loading
- Lost productivity: 15% of the working week for each person involved
- Absence: stress and personal leave days at the full daily cost
- Turnover: 50% of salary for each likely resignation
- Mediation: indicative package based on the number of people involved
