How Legal Assistance as an Employee Benefit Delivers High ROI and Stronger Workforce Retention
Legal issues are an invisible drain on productivity — and their true cost to organizations is often underestimated. According to recent research, employees lose an average of 172 hours per legal matter, equivalent to over 21 working days, before an issue is resolved.
Recognizing this growing challenge, a new whitepaper reveals the measurable business impact of offering legal assistance as part of the Employee Value Proposition (EVP) — and the findings are compelling.
For an organization with 1,000 employees, integrating legal assistance can deliver between ₹1.58–4.19 crore (employee-cost model) or ₹3.44–10.31 crore (opportunity-cost model) in annual value, with break-even achieved below 2% utilization.
The study highlights key insights from professionals across industries:
- 69% faced a personal legal issue during the study period.
- 78.4% reported no access or awareness of any employer-provided legal support.
- 79.3% expressed strong interest in such a benefit if offered by their employers.
For HR leaders, Finance heads, and CXOs, the message is clear — legal assistance is no longer a perk; it’s a strategic advantage. Beyond reducing hidden productivity loss, it enhances retention, reinforces trust, and signals genuine care for employee well-being.
Organizations that adopt this proactive approach are not just solving employee challenges — they are building more resilient, engaged, and future-ready workforces.
