![Calculator and notebook saying don't underestimate the value of employee recognition.](https://www.recognitionandrewards.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Calculator%20ROI%20Employee%20Recognition%20Pink-1.webp?width=1600&height=686&name=Calculator%20ROI%20Employee%20Recognition%20Pink-1.webp)

We were stunned when we did the calculations around return on investment for recognition budgets. Even with a small budget, you can make a significant impact on company culture with a [recognition program](https://www.recognitionandrewards.com.au/peer-to-peer-employee-recognition-software), and even more savings on costs from employee turnover.

A study from [Aon Hewitt](https://aon.mediaroom.com/hewitt-media-kit)posited that companys with a culture of appreciation have 31% less turnover of employees compared to organisations that don't. Employee turnover can cost your organisation millions of dollars annually, even if you're only from a small organisation.

We've made a quick employee recognition budget ROI calculator for you to easily crunch the numbers and figure out how much you'll save with your recognition budget - download the spreadsheet template:
