How much does employee disengagement cost you and your organization?
The Management Journal’s semi-annual Employee Engagement Index reports that 60% of employees are not engaged, and 15% are actively disengaged at work and only 25% are actively engaged.
According to Forbes, the costs of a disengaged employee is equivalent to 34% of their annual salary, or $3,400 for every $10,000 of income.
If we applied this to the average Canadian salary of $55,800 a year, the costs of a single disengaged employee to the business is going to be $18,972 annually.
Let’s apply this to an entire organization.
Let’s say you lead an organization of 100 people.
If we use the Employee Engagement Index which states only 25% of employees are actively engaged, then 75 employees are disengaged at your organization.
If we use the average salary of those employees as $55,800 then this employee disengagement is costing your organization annually: $1,422,900 ($18,972 X 75 people.)
