Annual Cost of Absenteeism ? Based on the CDC Foundation estimate of $1,685 per employee per year in absenteeism-related costs (CDC Foundation, 2015). $0
Annual Lost Productivity ? 18% of employees are actively disengaged, with 28% productivity loss each (Gallup, 2023). Applied to salary costs as a proxy for output value. $0
Total Annual Cost of Inaction $0
