The common cold is one of the biggest reasons for calling in sick. But I bet you didn't know that irritable bowel causes just as many sicks days as the common cold.
And what's worse is that unlike the common cold, irritable bowel is a chronic condition that can plague highly stressed, burned out employees 365 days a year, incurring productivity costs even when your employees are present at work.
What other health & wellness issues incur productivity costs due to absenteeism and presenteeism?
Anxiety & depression: In Canada alone, mental health issues cause 500,000 Canadians to be absent from work every week!
Adrenal fatigue & exhaustion (aka burnout) which is a big reason behind brain fog.
Menstrual issues: 20% of women report needing to take a sick day but most of them don't for fear of being seen as weak or simply not having sick days left to take!
Blood sugar issues caused by stress & stress eating which then impacts focus.
Bad sleep that leaves people struggling with energy levels.
These are just the top ones that I see on the daily. But productivity costs resulting from absenteeism and presenteeism can be mitigated.
A plan that includes nutritional coaching provides immediate returns because employees and leaders learn best practices & impactful nutritional tips to lower inflammation in the body, regulating blood sugar, improving immunity and supporting cognitive function.
My Wellness Coaching for Resilient Leaders. gives leaders a foundational nutritional program for physical and mental health resilience in a time when stress is going no where but up (just like your company's health claims!)
So, if you feel like you're at work but not really giving it your all - chances are there are quite a lot of people like you, suffering from a bad case of presenteeism.
