How does the ROI calculator work?
The tool is intentionally simple It's easy to get started. You adjust three sliders to match the reality of your business:
- The number of attendees at your event
- The estimated overall budget that you plan to dedicate to it
- The average gross annual salary of your teams
Based on these three parameters, the calculator instantly estimates your investment per employee, then projects three key indicators: the productivity gain expected, the effect on the talent retention and the savings generatedIt all boils down to a single telling figure: your real overall return on investmentThis could radically change the conversation surrounding your next event.
Team building, an investment still too often judged by instinct.
Team cohesion, employee engagement, collective intelligence: everyone agrees on their importance. The problem is that these concepts may seem abstract When it comes to allocating a budget, it's difficult to put a specific amount on the table when faced with a more united team or a more serene atmosphere.
As a result, many companies they reason solely in terms of cost, never in terms of value createdHowever, management science is clear: commitment and cohesion have a direct and measurable impact on productivity and talent retention. But a simple way to translate this into your own context was needed. That's exactly what our calculator does.
The advantages of the calculator, for you
Beyond the final figure, this tool was designed to make your life easier in several ways. First, it gives you a A solid argument to defend your budgetRather than pleading a "qualitative" case, you arrive at the meeting with a numerical estimateready to be presented to your management or your CFO.
He then offers you a personalized simulationYou're not dealing with a generic average: the results are tailored to your staff, budget, and payroll. The scenario displayed is yours. It finally brings you... clarity and speedNo complex spreadsheets to build, no assumptions to guess. In less than a minute, you get a clear view of your project's potential profitability, which significantly speeds up your decision-making.
In a traditional professional setting, some people tend to be less vocal. A team-building activity changes this. Creative work provides a neutral space where expression is conveyed through action and production, rather than through social risk-taking. Even the most reserved individuals find their place, and ideas circulate differently, without the pressure of a meeting or a roundtable discussion.
It is also an opportunity to to value atypical profilesA quiet person in meetings can become a valuable asset as soon as they are given a pen or a concrete task. The manager discovers their teams from a different perspective and sometimes identifies skills or aptitudes that no annual review would have revealed.
Prudent and defensible assumptions
A ROI calculator is only worthwhile if the seriousness of its sourcesThat's why we built ours on deliberately conservative assumptionssupported by recognized studies.
Le productivity gain is based on the work of Gallupwhich show that highly engaged teams exhibit a 17% to 21% increase in productivity compared to disengaged teams. talent retention is based on the 2025 annual report of the Work Institute, according to which organizations that invest in cohesion see their turnover decrease by 15% to 30%. Finally, the savings generated are based on a replacement cost estimated at 50% of the gross annual salary, in accordance with INSEE and URSSAF data.
In other words, the figures shown are not optimistic promises, but... conservative projections that you can handle internally.
