Your Managers Are Costing You a Lot of Money

Your managers are costing you a lot of money. $360 billion dollars this year alone.

It doesn’t show up directly as a line item on any P&L. But your bad managers are costing you. A lot.

According to several recent studies by Pepperdine University, Inc. Magazine and other organizations, 50% of your people who work under a bad boss plan to look for a new job in the near future.

Three out of four employees say their boss is the worst part of their job. 65% of employees say they’d take a new boss over a pay raise. More than 40% say they’ve been verbally, emotionally or even physically abused by a manager at some point in their career.

Your bad managers contribute to poor employee engagement and negatively impact their employees’ health, leading to more sick days and a higher risk of heart attack.

Your hard dollar cost? – Replacing even a minimum wage employee costs your firm more than $2,500 in lost productivity, recruiting and training costs. Replacing a professional-level employee can easily approach six figures in costs.

Your bad managers are part of a $360 billion-dollar problem firms like yours deal with each year in the US.

Here are five symptoms of bad managers in your organization:
• Disengaged employees
• Lower customer engagement scores
• Scope creep and missed deadlines
• Reduced profitability, and ultimately
• Organizational mission failure.
