- 1.Lost productivity: fully loaded annual salary (salary × 1.3) divided by 220 working days, multiplied by the days open and by the percentage of work left undone.
- 2.Team overload: extra hours per person per week × people × weeks open, valued at the position’s hourly cost (loaded salary / 1,760 hours).
- 3.Recruiting time: internal hours valued at the same hourly cost. Excludes job adverts and tools.
- 4.This is a conservative estimate: it leaves out lost sales, project delays, unhappy customers and the turnover that overload causes.
