Turnover, lost productivity, legal exposure, unemployment insurance tax increases, and extended healthcare are the costs that are harder to project. Not to mention the harder-to-measure damage to company culture and reputation.  Together, they can cost your company more than the layoff itself.  This report puts a number on all of it, and shows you how outplacement services can bring that number down.    ### A QUICK FORM, A CLEARER PICTURE We ask for specifics, because that's what makes your numbers real. You'll get a clear, data-backed breakdown of your total layoff costs, hidden and obvious, tailored to your workforce.   ## THE COSTS HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT It's a question every leadership team faces before a workforce reduction: "What will this really cost us?" Many companies can only answer half of that question. This customized report answers all of it.  [ GET THE REPORT ](https://info.challengergray.com/the-total-costs-of-layoffs-calculator#section-3) [![Challenger, Gray & Christmas logo (white, transparent) (1)](https://info.challengergray.com/hubfs/Challenger%2c%20Gray%20%26%20Christmas%20logo%20(white%2c%20transparent)%20(1).png "Challenger, Gray & Christmas logo (white, transparent) (1)") ](https://www.challengergray.com/) [Outplacement Services for Companies](https://www.challengergray.com/companies/) [Outplacement Services for Individuals](https://www.challengergray.com/individuals/) [Executive Coaching](https://www.challengergray.com/executive-coaching/) [Contact Us](https://www.challengergray.com/get-started/) [Follow us on Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/ChallengerGray) [Follow us on Instagram ](https://www.linkedin.com/company/challengergray/) [Follow us on Linkedin ](https://www.instagram.com/challengergray/) Copyright © 2026 Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
