It’s no secret that most organizations don’t know how to foster a healthy company culture. While some companies don’t know how to foster a culture at all, others are successful at fostering a culture that doesn’t serve their bottom line. Your culture can even be a catalyst for failure depending on what values organizations decide to emphasize. It’s a critical factor that can significantly affect your organization’s financial health. We’ll delve into the staggering statistics that reveal the true costs of poor company culture and how MindGoal can help you reverse the trend.

The Shocking Financial Realities of a Poor Company Culture

1. High Employee Turnover Costs: According to a study by SHRM, 90% of employees who rate their culture as poor admitted to seeking other job opportunities. When employees are continually prepared to jump ship, companies face recruitment, onboarding, and training costs. It’s estimated that replacing an employee can cost anywhere from 50% to 200% of their annual salary, depending on their role.
2. Reduced Productivity: Employees who are not engaged cost their company the equivalent of 18% of their annual salary. This isn’t just a dip in output; it’s a substantial financial blow. It’s estimated that low productivity costs the U.S. economy around $411 billion annually.
3. Increased Absenteeism: A poor company culture leads to a 37% increase in employee absenteeism. This not only means paying for unproductive days but can also require overtime or temporary staff, adding to your financial burden.
4. Negative Impact on Innovation: Companies with a poor culture often lack the innovation needed to stay competitive. They’re 25% less likely to innovate, putting them at a disadvantage in the market. The failure to innovate can result in a loss of market share and revenue.
5. Customer Dissatisfaction: Unhappy employees translate to unhappy customers. A dismal culture can lead to a 10% decrease in customer satisfaction, and research shows that dissatisfied customers are likely to share their negative experiences with at least 15 people, leading to potential revenue loss.

The Dollar Value You Risk With a Poor Culture

In 2019, there were 6.1 million U.S. businesses with an average of 29 employees. The average annual wage index in the U.S. is $63,795. SHRM’s study reveals that companies with poor cultures risk losing 90% of their employees each year. So, the typical U.S. business risks a staggering $1,658,670 yearly due to a poor culture (29 employees x 90% turnover x $63,795).
