The Cost of Disengaged Employees

Post author By mgauthier
Post date September 13, 2021

Employee engagement impacts employee morale, productivity, innovation and problem solving and customer service. Any one of these can impact the business bottom line.

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.

The impact of employee engagement or rather disengagement is hitting businesses’ bottom line hard. In fact, the lack of employee engagement is a billion dollar problem.

According to Canada Human Resources Centre, unhappy workers cost the North American business economy over $350 billion per year in lost productivity.

So how much is this disengagement costing you and your organization? 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.

While there is no quick fix, there are simple leadership practices that can produce immediate improvements in engagement.

We are offering a program that focuses on simple but powerful behaviours that will have maximum impact on your leaders’ ability to engage.

Increase your skills to more effectively engage your employees. For more information on our new Engage and Mobilize Employees Program: https://lnkd.in/gQdvVH4

How much does employee disengagement cost you and your organization?

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.)

Are you surprised by the magnitude of this cost? What is the actual cost to your organization? Are you OK with the return on this investment?

This example demonstrates that there are concrete costs due to employee disengagement. What actions are you going to take to re-engage with your employees?

While there is no quick fix, there are simple leadership practices that can produce immediate improvements in engagement.

Our Engage and Mobilize Employees Program focuses on simple but powerful behaviours that will have maximum impact on a leader’s ability to engage his or her employees.

For more information and to register: Engage and Mobilize Employees Program.

Your organization may be eligible for funding through the Re-Open Saskatchewan Training Subsidy. Employers receive 100% reimbursement for approved training up to $10,000. The deadline to apply for the Training Subsidy is March 31, 2021.
