Methodology. Annual fully-loaded cost = base salary × 1.25 (employer taxes and benefits, conservative global average). Replacement cost per exit follows Gallup benchmarks: 40% operational, 80% technical, 200% leadership of annual cost. SHRM reports similar ranges. Assumed turnover reduction: 10% relative (conservative). Productivity gain: 3% of payroll with 50% attributable to the platform (Gallup engagement studies). Automatable time: 80% of manual work reported by the HR team + 60h/manager/year (McKinsey). Estimates do not replace an internal analysis by role, seniority and location.
METHODOLOGY

6 levers. Official sources. Zero hyperbole.

The savings we show don’t come from promises – they come from cross-referencing your inputs with audited international benchmarks.

Lever 1

HR stack consolidation

Replaces 3 to 5 disconnected tools with a single platform.

Mid-market companies use on average 3 to 5 disconnected HR tools (HRIS, performance, surveys, learning). Replacing that stack with GFoundry cuts direct cost by 10% to 55% of current spend, depending on the level of fragmentation.

Lever 2

Time saved by the HR team

80% of the HR team’s manual tasks are automatable.

80% of the hours each HR professional spends on approvals, records, follow-ups, building reports and courses, internal communication, document management and answering employee questions can be automated with GFoundry.

Lever 3

Time saved by managers

60 hours per manager, per year, freed from manual tasks.

60 hours per manager, per year, freed from manual reviews, OKR setting, feedback cycles and unstructured 1:1s. In companies with 15-25% managers, this is usually the second largest gain.

Lever 4

Productivity gain

Engaged teams are 18% more productive.

Engaged teams are 18% more productive. We apply 50% of this value as attributable to the platform – the rest depends on internal execution. For a 250-employee company with a $35,000 average salary, this represents between $80,000 and $200,000 per year.

Lever 5

Turnover reduction

Each exit costs between 40% and 200% of the employee’s annual cost.

Average global turnover sits between 17% and 20% (Gallup), and each exit costs between 40% (operational) and 200% (leadership) of the employee’s annual cost. We assume a conservative 10% relative reduction – a typical first-year result observed in engagement platforms.

Source: Gallup, SHRM Cost-per-Hire reports.

Lever 6

Absenteeism reduction

Engaged teams have 81% less absenteeism.

Average absenteeism sits around 10 days/year per employee, with a loaded cost of ~$150/day. Engagement platforms reduce absenteeism by 30% to 50% in the first year – direct impact on operational continuity and on the workload of teams left to cover.

Frequently asked questions

What people usually ask before booking a call

Are the numbers realistic for my company?

They’re a rough estimate based on audited benchmarks. Companies with already mature HR processes will recover less on the consolidation side; companies with above-average turnover will recover much more on the retention side. For a realistic calculation, talk to us with your data.

What counts as an HR tool in the consolidation?

Any system you pay for today to manage employees: HRIS, performance review platform, survey/climate tool, learning LMS, OKR tool, feedback system, intranet, gamification app. GFoundry replaces all these categories in a single product.

Where do the benchmarks come from?

Gallup (global productivity, absenteeism and replacement cost benchmarks), SHRM (cost-per-hire reports), McKinsey (HR automation and productivity studies) and Eurofound (working conditions data). All sources are linked in the calculation footer.

I don't know my company's turnover rate. What do I do?

Leave that field blank. The calculator will show the other levers (consolidation, HR time, manager time and productivity) without turnover. You can always ask your HR department for your exact figure and come back.

The replacement cost multiplier changes the result a lot. How do I choose?

Use the dominant role in your organization. Operational (40%) covers frontline, retail, hospitality, manufacturing. Technical (80%) covers professional services, banking, healthcare, mid-level IT. Leadership (200%) covers managers and strategic roles. When in doubt, choose Technical – it’s the most conservative in the middle.

How much does GFoundry cost?

It depends on the number of employees and the plan. In a 20-minute conversation we’ll give you the investment value and the exact modules for your case.

Is my data stored?

No. Everything you do with the sliders stays in your browser – we don’t send it to servers or capture it without your consent. We only keep your data if you choose Book a call or Receive by email.
