“Workplace Stress is a Significant Risk Factor for Developing Depression and Costs Organisations $9,665 each year per Undiagnosed Employee!”
A report published by Vic Health in 2006 found that Workplace stress is a significant risk factor for developing depression. (1)
To make matters worse, it is estimated by Beyond Blue that undiagnosed depression in the workplace costs $4.3 billion in lost productivity. On average, every full time employee with untreated depression costs an organisation $9,665 per year, and they take off 3-4 days off work per month. (2)
Stress-related presenteeism and absenteeism are costing the Australian economy $14.81 billion a year and directly costing employers $10.11 billion a year. (3)
Companies that value the health and well-being of their workforce will become the most prosperous post Global Financial Crisis. In these uncertain economic times, with low unemployment and high skills shortages, employees expect more than just a pay cheque each week. They want to know that your company cares for them. Besides the normal legal requirements to provide a safe working environment for their workforce, many employers now recognise the social benefits from having regular corporate health and well-being programs in place.
Employers are becoming much more motivated by the opportunity to improve the health and well-being of their workforce because of:
• Improvements in business performance and greater job satisfaction for employees.
• Reduced staff-related costs like sick leave and higher levels of workplace productivity.
• Lower levels of injury caused from personnel fatigue and profitability increases from a healthier bottom line.
