Reveal the Hidden Cost of Employee Disengagement

Turn disengagement into a measurable opportunity for improvement.

motions, their lack of connection to your organization directly impacts performance, morale, and profitability. The Inspirus Employee Disengagement Calculator shows you the true financial burden of disengagement in your workforce—and how investing in recognition and engagement can reverse the trend.

Disengaged employees don’t just cost you productivity—they drain your bottom line, weaken team dynamics, and threaten long-term growth.

When employees are disconnected from their work, the ripple effects are felt across your entire organization—from missed goals and poor performance to higher turnover and reduced customer satisfaction. And while the costs of disengagement are often hidden, they are very real. In fact, disengaged employees are among the most expensive line items you're not tracking. This calculator gives you the data you need to make a compelling business case for investing in recognition and engagement—turning disconnection into measurable gains.

67% of U.S. employees are partially to actively disengaged at work, according to Gallup's 2024 State of the Global Workplace Report.

Gallup estimates that low employee engagement costs the global economy 8.8 trillion U.S. dollars (9% of global GDP).

  • Disengaged employees cost U.S. companies an estimated $450–550 billion annually in lost productivity (Gallup).
  • Only 32% of U.S. employees feel engaged at work, leaving the majority either not engaged or actively disengaged (Gallup).
  • Highly engaged teams show 21% greater profitability, 59% less turnover, and 41% lower absenteeism (Gallup).
  • Employees who feel recognized are 4x more likely to be engaged and 5x more likely to feel connected to company culture (SHRM).

Use this calculator to make the invisible cost of disengagement visible—and take the first step toward building a culture of recognition that fuels performance, retention, and ROI.
