Your Workplace Fear Cost

Layer 1 — Employee Base

Productivity Drain 2 hours per employee per week lost to fear-driven behaviors

Turnover Cost Replacement costs at 1.5× salary per departure

Engagement Impact Disengaged employees operating at 70% capacity

Stress & Absence Healthcare, sick days, and presenteeism costs

Total Annual Cost $0

This $0 represents your Layer 1 workplace fear costs — the cumulative impact of fear-driven patterns across your employee base.

What this doesn't measure: Layer 2 leadership fear costs, which typically run 2–5× higher. When executives delay strategic decisions, shelve transformational initiatives, or lose A+ talent, the exponential impact creates costs of $2M–$12M+ annually depending on organization size.

Most organizations discover their total fear cost (Layer 1 + Layer 2) is 3–6× what they initially calculated here.

The Executive Fear Intelligence Assessment measures Layer 2 costs — the exponential impact of fear-driven patterns at the leadership level. Most executives discover their total organizational fear cost is significantly higher than their workplace-level calculation.
