Workforce Productivity
Absence Costs & Operational Impact — the true cost of workforce disruption.
Where the workforce hours are lost
Coverage mixAbsence cost breakdown
ModeledNot automatically a cash cost. Represents reduced service capacity, delayed work, and operational backlog.
Absence cost waterfall
Sample dataHow absence-related costs accumulate. Uncovered impact is operational, not a cash expense.

What happens when workforce availability improves? Adjust the sliders to see the potential operational and financial impact.
Recovered hours are not automatically savings. A modeled reduction in absences may create capacity without reducing payroll. Only count savings when Finance confirms an actual cost reduction.
Current vs improved workforce operations
25% reduction| Metric | Current | Improved | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Absence days | 40,000 | 30,000 | −10,000 |
| Absence hours | 320,000 | 240,000 | −80,000 |
| OT cost | $7.44M | $5.58M | −$1.86M |
| Temp + contractor cost | $4.08M | $3.06M | −$1.02M |
| Admin burden | $922K | $691K | −$230K |
| Uncovered hours | 48,000 | 36,000 | −12,000 |
| Total replacement cost | $12.44M | $9.33M | −$3.11M |
Industry-specific operational examples
Sample dataExamples change with industry context. Financial methodology stays the same.
Shift shortages reduce customer service levels and sales support
Associates work extended shifts to maintain store operations
Agency workers require training and lack product knowledge
Customer wait times increase and fulfillment slows during gaps
Industry examples are illustrative and not presented as actual results without supporting data.
Modeled opportunity vs validated financial value
ModeledNot automatically included in program ROI or net financial value.
Only Finance-confirmed reductions appear in the Financial Impact section's net value.
No double counting: Modeled opportunity and validated value are kept separate. The fixed 10-year chart in Financial Impact & Opportunity is a separate presentation scenario and is not changed by these workforce sliders.

Employee Privacy Protected by Design
Employer reporting is designed to present aggregate workforce and health-program insights without exposing individual clinical records. Small-group reporting restrictions help reduce the risk of employee identification.
Aggregated information is not described as HIPAA-de-identified unless applicable de-identification requirements have been satisfied and verified.
