The direct costs — wasted meeting time, HR investigations, legal fees — are only part of the picture. Hidden costs include reduced productivity, employee disengagement, increased absenteeism, and turnover. SHRM estimates that replacing a mid-level employee costs 50–200% of their annual salary.
This calculator uses a conservative model focusing only on direct labor costs. The real cost is almost certainly higher. The good news: most workplace conflicts are resolvable with the right structure and facilitation.
