Turnover, burnout, stalled growth, a restructure that didn’t deliver, AI nobody’s using. Your culture is either making you money or costing it. We put that number in dollars your CFO and CHRO can both sign off on, then help you fix it.




Who’s all in
Only 20% of employees worldwide are engaged at work, the lowest level since 2020. Gallup puts the price at about $10 trillion in lost productivity. They’re on payroll. They’re just not all the way there.

The ideas you’re missing
Employees who are recognized for sharing and acting on ideas are 21 times more likely to innovate. Without that, the innovation you’re paying for never shows up.

The exits you could have stopped
More than half of people who quit say their manager or company could have kept them. Each replacement costs half to two times their salary, and they take your story with them.

The CEEDS™ Framework adapts to every sector and region. The cost looks different in each one. The math is the same.
Nurse turnover, agency and travel-staff spend, and burnout on units that can’t hold their teams.
Talent flight, compliance risk and client trust after restructuring or merger.
Service delivery, retention and public trust under tighter budgets.
Lost productivity, lost expertise and rehiring after AI-driven cuts.
Don’t see your sector? The cost of change is universal.
Turnover is climbing, engagement has slipped, a restructure or new system didn’t deliver, or your best people are looking. Output is down and nobody can say what it’s costing. We calculate the real number and lead the fix.
You’re weighing a reduction, a merger, an AI rollout or a leadership change. Before you approve it, see what it will cost in productivity, expertise and trust, so the decision holds up a year later.
Because 'we have a great culture' doesn't show up on a balance sheet.
Policy without data is just opinion
See your number
A 3–4 week diagnostic calculates what your culture is costing you, in dollars, from your own workforce data. Not an industry average.

A plan your CFO and CHRO can both put on one slide, with milestones measured against that number.
Fix it
We work with your leadership team to realign people, leaders and systems, then re-measure to prove the number moved.
Thirty years of change. One number at a time.
