Do you know how much it costs a company to have a stressed, unhealthy and demotivated company employee? More than you think.

It has been estimated that an employee on a salary of $60K will cost a company approximately $48,000 per annum in lost revenue every year?

Sounds a lot? It is, but remember that this figure does not include the cost of sick leave which is on average 9.1 days per year, (additional $7,081) nor does it take into consideration that last year 6,248 UK companies paid out an average of $84,516 in damages for workplace stress!**

These are not healthy figures!

**This information was based on research using the latest full-year profits available of the 20 largest quoted companies in the UK. The figures are taken from the companies’ annual reports using data supplied by Reuters that the average pre-tax profit per employee is £96,000, and that an employee experiencing stress and dissatisfaction will only work at 75% their potential.

Hitting the bottom line

According to the American Psychological Association, 41% of the workforce say they typically feel tense or stressed out during the workday.***

Psychological symptoms include changes in behavior, irritability, aggression, indecisiveness, increased sickness absence, poor timekeeping, reduced performance, erosion of self-confidence and working relationships, becoming withdrawn or argumentative, excessive smoking, drinking and drug abuse. The list seems endless.

Physical symptoms include anxiety, depression, panic attacks, headaches, raised blood pressure, indigestion, muscle tension and increased heart rate.

Stress at work

Fifty-one percent of employees said they were less productive at work as a result of stress***Job stress is estimated to cost U.S. industry

more than $300 billion a year*
