A Deeper Dive into the Issues
Main Causes of Depression’s Productivity Cost
Absenteeism, Presenteeism and Work Disengagement: $112 Billion Annually
Many businesses took notice of soaring rates of common mental disorders in the workforce during the pandemic. Though rates have declined since the pandemic, the rise began years earlier and persists.
The Growth in Mental Health Problems
Began Before the COVID 19 Pandemic and Persists
Reducing work stressors and maintaining good mental health have become mainstream priorities for working people. These priorities are reflected in their attitudes towards work, in the value they place on work relative to other parts of their lives, and in making important work and career decisions.
