A number of Australian and international research studies show work health and wellbeing is closely linked to productivity, risk of injury, business costs and return to work. Below are some of the results of these studies. Presenteeism: At work but not fully there. Working when ill or unwell, physically, emotionally and/or mentally. Affects both the quantity (people working slowly or having to repeat tasks due to errors) and quality of work. Absenteeism: Absent from work. In 2014, the annual cost of absenteeism to the Australian economy was $44 billion and the estimated cost of presenteeism was $35 billion. (1) The four main causes of presenteeism are unhealthy lifestyles, workers with illnesses going to work, allergies and asthma, poor work-life balance and high levels of work related stress. (1) Half of the loss in workplace productivity is due to chronic conditions such as headaches, neck/back pain and hay fever, and half is related to chronic diseases such as arthritis, cardiovasciular disease (e.g. heart attacks and stroke), cancer (e.g. breast and colon cancer) and diabetes. (1) Chronic disease is the prime cause of lost work time. These risks relate to diet, inactivity, stress and sleep. (1) Mental health conditions cost Australian workplaces $10.9 billion each year. This consists of $4.7 billion in absenteeism, $6.1 billion in presenteeism and $146 million in workers compensation claims. (1) $15 billion per year: Cost of stress-related illness to the Australian economy (2) The direct and indirect financial cost in Australia of obesity alone (not including those who are considered overweight) was estimated at $37.7 billion in 2008-2009, with $6.4 billion being attributed to loss in workplace productivity.
