Calculate Your ROI

Trying alternative solutions to persistent problems can feel like a risk. We conducted hands-on studies to prove this is a safe bet.

Here’s how we figure it: based on average results over just 12 sessions with us, teams see about a 30% improvement across their chemistry, engagement, collaborative ability, and more.

Plus, teams gain deeper knowledge of their own individual strengths, weaknesses, and motivators—not to mention the tools we offer managers to leverage the insight of our HeroType™ system to better lead employees toward growth, success, and effective collaboration.

Drawing from those results, we calculate the direct financial benefits over one full year of play (~48 sessions) using a few very conservative assumptions:
‍
• A 5% increase in productivity from enhanced team communication, synergy, and creativity—plus less time wasted managing interpersonal issues
• A 5% increase in project efficiency due to a better understanding of employee strengths, motivators, and working styles
• A 5% reduction in recruitment costs due to a healthier, more inviting and innovative company culture as well as an employer brand that attracts top talent
• A 5% reduction in turnover due to higher overall morale and engagement, a culture that prioritizes joy and wellbeing, and a sense of team loyalty to one another and the company
• And a 5% cut in external training costs as our adventures naturally bolster your team's soft skills and develop them as leaders

When all is said and done, these cost reductions and revenue gains end up equaling to about 10% of a given employee's salary.

With good reason, we can assume that there's no limit to these improvements—meaning, multiple years of sessions could keep steadily increasing these numbers.

Results, of course, are not guaranteed, and you may be currently thinking of all the unique factors at play in your company that could work against these results.

However, the question isn’t whether these kinds of programs are a worthwhile investment for remote teams—that debate was settled long ago. The question is, which specific program is best suited for your company's goals, culture, and desired results? We’re confident that, for most tech teams, QuestWorks is the answer.

Best of all, team members actually want to attend QuestWorks games. Can you say that about your other remote teambuilding events? Seriously—someone once showed up while on vacation!

Why do we calculate using average salary?
Referencing the average employee salary not only estimates costs associated with turnover and training but also offers a base to measure the financial benefits of productivity improvements.

Essentially, higher salaries often correlate with higher stakes in terms of employee output and recruitment/replacement costs, making salary a core factor in accurately forecasting potential savings and gains from investing in employee development and retention strategies.

Of course, if your employee delivers 100% of their salary in productivity, you've merely broken even—we assume your business model is built for profit.

Still, to ensure we are being as conservative as possible in our estimations, the 5% figures above are calculated as a fraction of the average salary rather than profit produced per employee.

Recruitment and turnover rate estimates are based on recent tech-specific data, assuming a 10% hiring rate per year and 30% average turnover. Recruitment and turnover costs are estimated at 20% of the average salary to reflect industry standards.

The real magic, however, lies beyond the numbers.

While our calculator will show you the tangible cash benefits, the intangible ones—like inside jokes on Slack, a palpable sense of camaraderie, ongoing personal development, and collective pride in working somewhere cool enough to offer a perk like this—are what can transform a remote workplace into a powerhouse and foster award-winning work.
