Your ROI on Psychological Safety
Your ROI on Psychological Safety
Investing in Psychological Safety can yield significant financial returns.
Let’s look at the potential impact for a typical 10-person tech team in Europe with an average annual compensation of €35,000 per person.
Productivity Gains: €59,500 to €175,000 per year
Research shows that psychological safety can boost productivity by 17% to 50%. For our 10-person team, that equals:
- 17% boost: €35,000 x 0.17 x 10 = €59,500
- 50% boost: €35,000 x 0.50 x 10 = €175,000
Turnover Savings: €17,500 to €87,500 annually
Replacing a tech employee costs 50% to 250% of their annual salary. Building psychological safety can reduce turn-over by 50% reducing it from the 20% typical turn-over to 10%.
For a 10-person team that means retaining one more valuable employee:
- At 50% of salary: €35,000 x 0.50 x 1 = €17,500
- At 250% of salary: €35,000 x 2.50 x 1 = €87,500
Total Potential Benefit: €77,000 to €262,500 per year
The combined productivity gains and turnover cost savings for the 10-person team could total between €77,000 and €262,500 annually by implementing an effective psychological safety program.
Productivity + Retention Impact:
- €59,500 + €17,500 = €77,000
- €175,000 + €87,500 = €262,500
Additional Benefits of Higher Psychological Safety
Beyond the direct financial gains, psychological safety delivers:
- Higher employee engagement and wellbeing
- Increased innovation and creativity
- Improved collaboration and knowledge sharing
- Enhanced learning and skill development
- Better customer satisfaction scores
The Cost of Inaction
On the flip side, lacking psychological safety leads to:
- Stifled innovation and creativity
- Lower employee engagement and commitment
- Higher turnover and difficulty attracting talent
- Toxic work environment and team dysfunction
The price of neglecting psychological safety is high. Can you afford the lost productivity, turnover expenses, missed opportunities, and negative cultural impact?
