Challenges Of The Modern Workplace
Significant Turnover Costs
Replacing a departing employee can cost up to 200 % of annual salary. Turnover risk is now at its highest in nearly a decade, 42% of turnover is considered preventable but often goes unaddressed. That means many exits aren’t forced; they are preventable if companies invest in culture and internal growth. Retention is a competitive advantage, and a driver of profitability.
Disengaged Teams
Employee engagement globally has declined to ~21 %, costing the world economy $438 billion last year in lost productivity. Low morale drives turnover, absenteeism, and performance breakdowns. In poorly aligned workplaces, employees are 87% less likely to stay. By contrast, engaged cultures reduce turnover and absenteeism, leading to better retention and productivity.
Lack of Leadership Training
Managers influence up to 70% of team engagement, but only 44% of managers have received any formal training, meaning more than half are navigating high-pressure roles without guidance. Managers who received leadership development increased their engagement rates by 10–22%, showing the clear return on investing in skill-building and coaching.
