Tackling presenteeism through employee wellbeing

We highlight the role of employee wellbeing programmes in tackling the emerging and costly issue of presenteeism. 

• Tackling presenteeism through employee wellbeing The costs to organisations of presenteeism mostly concentrate on lost productivity through ill health. An effective employee wellbeing programme can help to manage this problem. 

Also

How occupational health can help to manage presenteeism Employees who come into work when feeling ill will not be able to perform to the best of their ability, which has a knock-on effect on productivity. Occupational health can help to manage this situation. 

Determining the costs of employee wellbeing We take a look at the costs associated with employee wellbeing as an investment and the price employers could pay should they choose not to invest.
