Subjective motivation costs more than you think
- Up to 20–25% of employees may leave in a year, and replacing each one costs 1–3 monthly salaries.
- Up to 40% of working time goes to oversight instead of growing the business.
- Subjective ratings increase tension and weaken team cohesion.
- Promotion and bonus decisions are made on instinct instead of evidence.
- You spot declining performance only after it starts affecting results.
