Sexual harassment is often viewed as a legal or HR risk, but its most devastating impact is felt by your people, the survivors who carry the weight and the teams who witness the harm. We’ve designed this tool to help you quantify those hidden costs so you can take informed action, and then measure the ROI of intervention.
The Sexual Harassment Cost Calculator
What We Measure
Our calculator is built on the latest global research and established case law. We focus on the five major cost impacts that define the true price of sexual harassment in the workplace:
Legal & Settlement
Risks
Beyond attorney fees, organisations face substantial settlements or damages that can reach hundreds of thousands, or even millions of Rands in high-severity cases.
Presenteeism & Lost Productivity
Even when people are physically present, productivity plummets. We measure the "Fear & Outrage" tax, the drop in morale and focus that occurs when a team no longer feels safe or respected.
Absenteeism & Lost Capacity
This includes the survivor’s need for recovery time and the cost of the accused being suspended with pay during the investigation. Salaries are paid for zero work output.
Staff Churn
High-severity incidents often lead to a "double departure", the dismissal of the perpetrator and the resignation of the survivor. Replacing these roles involves recruitment costs and the loss of institutional knowledge.
HR & Managers Time
Every hour your senior leaders and HR teams spend on crisis management, PR, internal communications, and legal coordination is an hour stolen from innovation and growth.
