Corporate Programs

In the 2014 session of the World Economic Forum in Davos the topic of work related stress and the decrease in work productivity became a major topic for the first time in the events’ illustrious history.

Mental health-related illnesses may cost $16 trillion in lost output over the next 20 years, according to figures from Harvard University and the WEF.

“People are becoming aware of the huge economic impact” of illness, said Norbert Hueltenschmidt, a partner at consultancy Bain & Co. who was involved in seven Davos sessions on physical and mental health. “Healthy living is at the top of this year’s agenda and you see it throughout the program — there’s never been a year like this one.”

For businesses, “there is accumulating evidence about how one’s psychological well-being affects one’s productivity,” said Laura Tyson, a forum participant who headed the U.S. Council of Economic Advisers during the Clinton administration.

Facts

• The American Academy of Family Physicians found that two-thirds of doctor visits are for preventable stress-related conditions.
• More than HALF of all job absences are attributed to chronic pain, hypertension, and headaches.
• A full one-third of adults cite high job-related stress nearly every day.

Additionally, recently published research findings show that U.S employers spend 200 – 300% more for the indirect costs of health care — in the form of absenteeism, sick days, and lower productivity — than they do on actual health care payments. Their main recommendation to employers is to “mount an aggressive approach to wellness, prevention, screening and active management of chronic conditions.”
