The Calm Advantage · Business case

Stress is already on your budget.

It just isn’t a line item. It shows up as slower decisions, sick days, people who stay but switch off, and people who leave. This page puts numbers on it, so you can decide if a workshop pays for itself.

Where the money goes

The biggest cost is people who are there.

Absence is visible. The larger cost is presenteeism: people at their desk, working below their best because they’re stretched. Then there’s turnover.

Presenteeism, UK, per year£24 bn
Replacing one person0.5 to 2× salary
People with work-related stress, depression or anxiety (Great Britain)776,000

Your number

What is stress costing your team?

Each leaver is costed at half a yearly salary, the low end of Gallup’s estimate.

41% is the global average (Gallup 2024).

Distraction, rework, slower decisions. 2 hours is a cautious starting point.
