In our fast paced, highly competitive world, stress and burn-outs are everywhere. In 2023 long term absenteeism stood at a record 12.71% of all employees in Belgium. This carries heavy implications as costs rise and companies struggle. Thus, getting the number down should be one of our top priorities.
CONTACT USAlthough causes of absenteeism are plenty, they can be boiled down to 3 categories:
The costs of absenteeism are not to be underestimated. One extensive study found that it costs companies €1500 yearly, not per absentee but per employee. For instance, a company with an average absenteeism rate of 100 employees stands to lose more than € 150.000 this way. 1 Save to say, those numbers can’t easily be ignored.
Furthermore absenteeism heavily correlates with employee turnover, making it an important indicator of the health of your company. As people drop out, the workload is shifted unevenly creating a domino effect of stress. This causes people in turn to crash or to leave, taking their talents and experience with them. Left unchecked, these consequences wreak havoc on unprepared companies.
As burn-out, stress and absenteeism rises, so does our ability to fight it. Lots of companies have had success in halting the upwards trend. By actively developing a wellbeing policy and investing in prevention you go beyond dealing with the consequences. You tackle the problem by the root.
