Discover How Much Time (and Budget) You Can Save with Inspirus

Cut administrative overload and focus on what really matters—your people.

Managing employee recognition manually is time-consuming, inefficient, and prone to inconsistency. HR teams often find themselves bogged down in administrative tasks—coordinating approvals, tracking milestones, managing budgets—leaving little time for strategic, high-impact initiatives. The Inspirus HR Administrative Burden Calculator helps you uncover how much time and money your team could save by streamlining recognition with a centralized, automated engagement program.

How Much Time Can a Recognition & Engagement Program Save You?

What the Calculator Reveals

Clarity on the hidden time costs—and how to eliminate them.
This calculator evaluates the hours your HR team spends on manual recognition tasks and converts that time into a tangible cost to your organization. It also shows how much of that burden can be reduced (or even eliminated) with a purpose-built recognition platform like Inspirus Connects.

Employees who don't feel recognized are twice as likely to say they'll quit in the next year, according to Gallup.

Research from Deloitte indicates recognition increases employee engagement, productivity, and performance by 14%.

You’ll get a personalized estimate of:

  • Total hours currently spent on recognition-related tasks
  • The annual cost of that time in salary dollars
  • Time and budget savings achievable through automation and simplification

Why Use This Calculator?

Because HR teams are overburdened—and under-leveraged.

Administrative tasks continue to drain valuable time and energy from HR professionals. Research shows that HR teams spend up to 40% of their time on manual, repetitive tasks that could be automated (McKinsey). When it comes to managing employee recognition, the inefficiencies add up fast—leading to burnout, missed opportunities for engagement, and inconsistent employee experiences.

Manual recognition programs often require juggling spreadsheets, tracking budgets by hand, and chasing down approvals—taking HR away from strategic priorities like culture-building, talent development, and DEI. And yet, companies with automated recognition platforms report a 33% reduction in HR workload, allowing them to focus on driving real change (SHRM).

This calculator gives you the data to show how much time and money your organization is losing to administrative burden—and how Inspirus can help you reclaim it. Make the case for moving from manual to meaningful with insights that resonate across HR and leadership.
