The ROI of Resilience
Leadership turnover is as expensive as it is disruptive.
Beyond the salary line, hidden costs in vacancy, recruitment, onboarding, and productivity loss can quietly drain hundreds of thousands each year. At BridgeWell, we help leaders quantify this exposure and convert resilience into measurable ROI.
THE EXPOSURE
Average Manager Salary in the US: $75,000
True Replacement Cost (~100% of salary): $75,000 per exit
With 50 managers at 15% turnover (7–8 exits per year): $525,000–$600,000 in hidden costs
THE BRIDGEWELL LEVER
BridgeWell strengthens leadership continuity through proprietary consulting frameworks that embed resilience into daily leadership practice:
The Resilience Roadmap: Guides managers through structured techniques for recognizing performance states and applying resilience strategies in real time, enabling steadier performance under pressure.
Leader States: Provides a shared framework for identifying reaction patterns that often drive attrition and stress, allowing leaders to intervene early and prevent avoidable exits.
Leader Rounds: Provides structured peer forums where leaders work through real challenges, accelerating confidence, clarity, and decision-making precision for new leaders.
Together, these levers turn resilience into a repeatable system that protects leadership continuity and reduces the risk of turnover and attrition.
THE ROI
Even modest improvements deliver measurable savings that compound over time.
Attrition Reduction: Retaining just 1–2 managers annually = $70K–$100K in savings
Ramp-Up Efficiency: Shortening onboarding by 4 weeks saves an additional $3–4K per manager
For most organizations, this translates into a six-figure annual return directly tied to leadership stability.
THE EXECUTIVE OUTCOME
When resilience functions as infrastructure, organizations shift from reacting to pressures to performing with steadiness and clarity. Leaders carry momentum through uncertainty, protecting continuity and preserving institutional knowledge. This stability allows executives to pursue long-term initiatives with confidence and keep their organizations positioned for growth in dynamic markets.
