What could disengagement
be costing your team?
A directional estimate, built on independently published Gallup research.
This isn't just a number to sit with. It's a leverage point Boldly Human Leadership's workshops, speaking engagements, and embodied leadership programs are built specifically to close — turning the cost you're about to see into a measurable return.

What Gallup's research shows about the leverage point
Managers drive ~70% of engagement variance. Basic manager training roughly halves active manager disengagement.
Closing that gap is what separates management from leadership — and it's exactly what Boldly Human Leadership builds.
This calculator deliberately uses the lowest bound from each published range, to avoid overstating the case. Actively-disengaged share of a workforce runs 16–18% across recent Gallup reports (16% used here). Salary-cost-of-disengagement is a widely-cited industry approximation — not one exact Gallup figure — commonly ranging 18–34% of salary (18% used here). The manager-training findings above are Gallup's own, stated directly and left as published — not converted into a dollar figure, since that specific finding is about manager disengagement, not total team cost.
