The Challenge

Your teams are being asked to perform before they've become a team.

Companies that relocated to South Florida carry a specific wound that mostly goes untreated: relocation-triggered cohesion fracture. In plain terms, moving breaks teams apart.

Transplants

People who followed the company and left their networks, routines, and support systems behind.

New local hires

Talented people with no shared history, asked to move fast with colleagues they barely know.

Remote holdouts

Team members who stayed put, connected to the new office only through a screen.

The ROI Calculator

Adjust cohort size, average salary, retention lift, and program cost to model your scenario. All value figures come from your own numbers.

Cohort size (team + HiPos)12 people
Average salary$150,000
Retention lift25%

Retention lift is the share of expected departures the program prevents. Cohorts in transition typically lose about 20% of their people in a year; a 25% lift means one in four of those would-be exits stays instead.

Annual program investment$35,000

Model assumptions: 20% baseline annual attrition for cohorts in transition; replacement cost at 100% of salary; productivity gain at 25% of salary over one year across the cohort. Verified against your own HRIS data at baseline and 12 months.

Take interdependence seriously.

If your team has relocated, merged, or scaled past its cohesion, let's talk about what one annual cycle would look like, for your people and your organization at the same time.
