Fill in the ROI wizard
Enter a programme’s costs and value, step by step.
Only company admins can use the ROI wizard. Open the programme and choose ROI in its menu — or Calculate expected ROI on the programme’s setup checklist. It takes about ten minutes.
Before you start
The wizard does not ask for the number of interns, the programme dates or the department: it takes them from the programme. The Programme basis strip on the first step shows what it is using. If something is wrong, choose Edit the programme (available until the programme launches).
The four steps
The wizard has four steps, then Review. You can jump to any step from the step list, or use Back and Continue.
- Costs — what the programme spends: recruitment, pay, supervision, equipment. Open each group to fill it in. Total cost at the bottom updates as you type.
- Verified value — the work the interns actually delivered. Monthly salary of the equivalent employee is the one required field: what the same work would cost as a full-time hire.
- National Talent Impact — the Emiratisation quota saving. Switch on Include National Talent Impact if you want it in the return. While it is off, anything you enter here is saved but left out.
- Hiring pipeline — offers, conversions and retention. This is strategic value, reported beside the headline, never inside it.
Every other field is marked Optional. Fields with an i button have an explanation — choose it to read what to enter.
Saving
Your entries save automatically as you type — you will see Saved as you type. Choose Save and close to go back to the programme at any time; nothing is lost.
The result as you go
Below the form, Result so far shows the return as you fill things in. If something is missing, it lists what under Not enough to calculate yet — for example, Monthly salary of the equivalent employee is required.
Messages you might see
- Emirati interns completing (…) cannot exceed the programme’s Emirati intern count (…). — raise the planned Emirati intern count on the programme, or lower this figure.
- Offers accepted (…) cannot exceed offers made (…).
- The ROI methodology is not published yet. — the ROI screen is not available yet. Everything else on the setup checklist can be done in the meantime.
Next: save the baseline.
