The Hidden Costs of an Unhealthy Workforce
Think about it – every time an employee calls in sick, your business takes a hit. Delayed projects, stressed-out colleagues, and plummeting productivity are just the tip of the iceberg. According to a study by ASSOCHAM, Indian companies lose an estimated INR 24,000 crores annually due to absenteeism caused by lifestyle-related diseases. High turnover rates are another sign of a workplace in distress. When employees leave, you lose not just their skills but also the time and money invested in their training. According to a study by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) in India, replacing an employee can cost up to 50-60% of their annual salary. And this doesn’t account for the intangible costs, like the impact on team morale and client relationships.
Unhealthy employees struggle to maintain productivity due to physical or mental health issues. According to a report by Optum, 46% of the Indian workforce experiences stress, impacting their productivity and work performance.
