- The cost of lost team knowledge, per employee, per year
Answer · · Updated
Lost team knowledge is not a soft cost. Research from IDC, McKinsey, Panopto, and Gartner puts the per-employee annual loss somewhere between $10,000 and $20,000. This page shows how that figure is constructed, which sources to trust, and which assumptions you can adjust for your own team.

The part you can put on a spreadsheet is the measurable lost productivity behind it.
