The cost of burnout

What is burnout
costing your business?

Burnout rarely shows up as a line item. It hides inside turnover, sick days and quiet under-performance. Move the sliders and see the number for your team.

A conservative estimate at roughly a third of the total. Most teams recover it many times over the cost of the program.

How this is estimated. Turnover: a share of affected employees leave each year, replaced at about 75% of salary (SHRM, Gallup). Absenteeism: extra sick days for affected staff (Gallup). Lost productivity: reduced output while present, around 13% for affected staff (Gallup, WHO). These are directional estimates to start a conversation, not an audit.

How Sohlara helps

Where the money
comes back

Burnout drains money in three ways. Sohlara works on each one, and here is exactly how the recovery happens for the team you entered above.

01 · Retention

Keep your people

Burnout is the top reason good people quit, and replacing one costs around 75% of their salary in hiring, lost knowledge and ramp-up. Sohlara catches it while it is still reversible and gives them a real way back, so they stay instead of walking out the door.

Recovers ~40% of burnout-driven turnover

back per year
02 · Attendance

Fewer lost days

Exhausted people take more sick days and burnout leave. Daily practices, an AI coach and licensed therapists bring energy back before someone hits the wall, so fewer days are lost and the days worked are healthier.

back per year
03 · Focus

Restore focus

The biggest hidden cost is people at their desk but running on empty, working at half power. As their burnout score climbs back, focus and output return, the productivity you already pay for finally showing up in full.

The result

Total recovered

Add the three together and Sohlara returns roughly a third of the full cost of burnout to your bottom line every year, for a fraction of that in program cost. That is the case for acting now rather than absorbing the loss.

Recovery rates are conservative estimates drawn from published research on burnout interventions. Your actual results are tracked in your anonymized team dashboard, so the impact shows up in real numbers, not promises.
