Dear colleague,
The cost of poor IR is both ,short term and long term. You have made good attempt to list several of qualitative and quantifiable areas. Sometimes cost is irreparable and puts the organisation several years on backfoot compared to the competitors.
I can think of loss of opportunity cost and loss of customers as major cost , should it happen.
Organisations with poor IR, won't survive and unless damage control and preventive actions are systematically taken at right time, it will see doomsday sooner or later.

Hello Sharmavk05,
In addition to loss of opportunity cost and loss of customers that Vinayak Nagarkar mentioned, you can also add this: higher hiring costs.......indirectly linked with your number (10).
Bad news has the habit of spreading faster than good news--so poor IR practices would be known sooner than later & the Company would end-up spending more to hire the same number & quality & level of new employees than by another Company with good IR practices.

The hidden cost of poor Industrial relations may be summarised as below:
The workmen at the behest of unions devleop a sense of militancy and the start ruling the roost over a period of time .
The discipline would be at cross road, productivity being lowered, and the management gets stuck as to how to straighten the situation .Any inevitable bulldozing to correct the situation by managemnet,would backfire ,creating total chaos and impasse .
In sum ,the management would pay a heavy price to set right the situation in terms of production/productivity, strained empoer employee relations, oevrall animosity, dragging labour litigation etc

Poor IR could ruin the organisation, there are very many instances where the organisations perished over long drawn-out strikes and lockout. The classical case is the textile industry in the Bombay region (as it was then) due to the impact of a fearful Trade Unionist, Mr. Datta Samant.
