The Cost of Unaddressed Team Stress

Every leader has felt it – that moment when you realize a once high-performing team member is slipping.

The quality of their work declines. Deadlines start to slip. Creative solutions give way to the bare minimum. And before you know it, they're updating their LinkedIn profile and you're facing the $30,000-$45,000 average cost of replacing them.

This is the hidden cost of unaddressed stress in your team – and it's likely happening right under your nose.

Employees who are stressed to the point of burnout are more likely to make errors in their work. They’re also 63% more likely to take a sick day. And – perhaps most concerning for your bottom line – they’re almost three times more likely to be actively searching for a new job.

As their leader, this doesn't just impact your results – it fundamentally changes your job:

• Your coaching conversations multiply as performance issues emerge

• Your time gets consumed putting out fires instead of driving strategic work

• Your own productivity suffers as you pick up slack and manage tensions

• Your team's innovation stalls as people retreat to safe, familiar approaches

The challenge? Each team member displays stress differently. The warning signs for your detail-oriented ISTJ team member look different from those of your enthusiastic ENFP employee.

By the time more universal stress signals appear – missed deadlines, conflicts, or absence – the damage is already done.

But we have just the thing to help.
