Show Executives the Bottom Line Impact of Engagement

To secure buy-in, you must be able to show the correlation between HR initiatives and the organization’s bottom line. That's why we recommend focusing on these four Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to align internal strategies and gain the support you need:
1

Increased Revenue:    Engaged employees are more productive, which makes the organization more profitable. 

2
Absenteeism Savings: 
Engaged employees take less time off work, which also translates to higher productivity.
3

Turnover Savings:
Engaged employees don’t want to quit and retaining your top employees is critical.

4

Increased Productivity:
Engaged employees are more productive, they produce about 35% more work. 


But don't worry, you don't need to figure these numbers out on your own. We developed the Employee Engagement ROI Analysis Calculator to help you quickly show the financial upsides of increasing engagement in your unique organization.

Improving engagement

#1 - Increased Revenue

When it comes to ROI, Revenue is at the top of the list for most executives. Calculating your projected revenue increase will certainly grab their attention. Engaged employees are more committed and productive, which drives revenue and efficiency. This has been proven time and again.

A study by Aon found a direct correlation between engagement and revenue.  Organizations that increased employee engagement by a mere 5% directly increased their revenue by 3%. Not too bad, right?

#2 - Absenteeism Savings

Did you know that an increase in engagement can save money by reducing the number of "sick days" (cough, cough)?

The numbers don't lie:

  • Disengaged employees take 2x as many sick days as engaged employees. Yikes! 
  • An increase in engagement can save on average of 37% in absenteeism costs. 

When employees are missing work, you're paying for the time off while losing productivity. Reduce sick days by increasing your number of engaged employees.  It pays to keep your people excited about their work and invested in the organization that cares!

#3 - Turnover Savings

The number one reason why employees quit is because they don't feel appreciated.

True story. Check out the recent McKinsey Study on the Great Resignation. 

It’s human nature, a basic need to feel valued and appreciated. Employee recognition is one of the leading drivers of engagement. If this isn't apart of your initiatives now, make sure it will be. The pay off will be tremendous and will help you reach the financial savings highlighted on your ROI Analysis. 

You'll notice that one of the biggest financial opportunities when it comes to engagement is retention. Did you know 65% of employees who quit do so voluntarily?

That's right. These are people you want to stay. You have a chance to engage them, recognize them, appreciate them, listen to them and act of their feedback before they put in their notice later. It's never too late. 

#4 - Increased Productivity

Employee disengagement is expensive! It costs U.S. businesses up to $550 billion dollars per year in lost productivity. 

Employees who aren't engaged certainly aren't motivated to perform. In fact, they are costing their organization about 34% in lost productivity compared to their engaged and committed colleagues. It's a big hit to the bottom line. 

So, what does disengagement look like? Here are a few quick examples: 

  • Showing up late to work
  • Missing deadlines
  • Surfing the internet for open positions at work

They often roam in crowds. According to Gallup, about 17% of U.S. workforce is disengaged. However, it's important to get your own engagement score to measure and monitor progress. Every organization is unique.
