According to a recent study by SD Worx, nearly one in ten workdays is lost to illness. This striking figure raises questions about the general health of the workforce. While this number includes all absences, the study highlights that the rise in long-term absenteeism, often linked to psychosocial causes like stress and burnout, is a significant driver. Beyond the human impact, the economic consequences are major: for an SME with 100 employees, long-term absenteeism represents an estimated direct cost of €216,500 per year, not including indirect costs which can be up to three times higher. Mental health is therefore no longer a side issue, but a central driver of sustainable performance.
