What's it worth to your P&L?

The company-wide view. Four numbers from your HRIS, two minutes, and a model your CFO can check line by line: regretted exits avoided, productivity on the movable middle, and absence days recovered.

No email to see your number. Every assumption is on the page, and yours to change.

Your business

One department, one region, or the whole company.

£

Base salary, before employer on-costs.

%

People who chose to leave in the last 12 months, as a share of headcount.

days

The UK average is 7.8 days (CIPD, 2023).

Adjust the assumptions6

Our defaults sit deliberately below the published research. Tune them to your own data.

%

Gallup finds 42% of leavers could have been kept. We assume PraiseLoop keeps about a third of them.

%

Gallup puts it at 50–200% of salary, depending on the role. 100% is the conservative middle.

%

Not your stars and not your strugglers: the solid middle that recognition moves most.

%

Valued at salary cost, which is a floor. Output is usually worth more than it costs.

%

We count only the salary cost of each day, not the disruption around it.

days

Turns salary into a daily cost.

Annual impact£988k
The maths, in full

Every line your CFO will check.

No black box. The impact above comes from these three calculations, using your inputs. Change an input and they update with it.

Regretted exits avoided

£506,250

People leave managers who never notice their work. When every verified result is seen and rewarded, fewer of your good people start looking.

  1. 500 people × 15% turnover = 75 leavers a year
  2. 75 × 15% avoided = 11.3 exits avoided
  3. 11.3 × £45,000 × 100% to replace = £506,250

Productivity lift on the movable middle

£405,000

Recognition tied to real KPIs shows the middle of your workforce exactly what good looks like, then rewards them for getting there.

  1. 500 × 60% = 300 people in the middle
  2. 300 × £45,000 = £13,500,000 of payroll
  3. £13,500,000 × 3% lift = £405,000

Absence days recovered

£76,304

Teams that feel seen take fewer unplanned days. We count only the salary cost of those days, not the cover and disruption around them.

  1. 500 × 7.8 days = 3,900 absence days a year
  2. 3,900 × 10% = 390 days recovered
  3. 390 × £196 a day = £76,304

Net return and payback

The business case nets this impact against the PraiseLoop platform and the rewards themselves, which only pay out on verified results. Then it works out your return multiple and the month it pays back.

Where the defaults come from

  • Replacing an employee costs one-half to two times their annual salary. Gallup, 2019
  • 42% of voluntary leavers say their manager or organisation could have kept them. Gallup, 2024
  • Employees who get high-quality recognition are 45% less likely to have left two years later. Gallup & Workhuman, 2024
  • UK sickness absence averages 7.8 days per employee per year, the highest in over a decade. CIPD, 2023

The lift assumptions (exits avoided, productivity, absence) are deliberately set well below the research, and they're PraiseLoop's modelled estimates, not measured results. A 90-day pilot replaces them with your own numbers.
