Improve the well-being of your employees and the performance of your business

In a world where 20% of the population suffers from chronic or occasional pain, and nearly 8 million people in Canada live with chronic pain, the repercussions on the workplace are considerable. According to Statistics Canada, absenteeism costs Canadian businesses more than $16 billion annually, with even greater hidden costs linked to presenteeism. For Quebec companies, the cost of absences can represent up to 20% of payroll.

  • What is functional electrotherapy, and how can it help my employees?

    Functional electrotherapy employs electrical pulses to alleviate pain and enhance circulation, providing a non-medication-based remedy especially beneficial for employees experiencing pain from prolonged sitting or physical activities. It can significantly reduce pain, thereby improving productivity and quality of life at work.

  • How can functional electrotherapy reduce pain-related absenteeism among employees?

    Functional electrotherapy uses electrical pulses to alleviate pain, decreasing absenteeism by helping employees feel better and return to work more quickly. This non-medication approach also enhances mobility and reduces reliance on pain medication, thereby improving productivity and overall well-being within the company.

  • How do pain-related absenteeism and presenteeism affect operational costs?

    Absenteeism and presenteeism due to pain lead to higher healthcare costs and lower productivity, directly impacting a company's operations. Employees in pain may compromise work quality and increase errors, while team morale and engagement may also suffer, leading to additional costs in recruitment and training.

  • What is presenteeism, and how does it impact my company's productivity?

    Presenteeism, where employees work despite health issues, diminishes their performance and negatively affects company productivity. This results in lower work quality, the spread of illnesses, a negative impact on morale, and an increase in mistakes, making presenteeism as costly as absenteeism.

  • How does chronic pain contribute to presenteeism among employees?

    Chronic pain leads employees to work while in discomfort, diminishing their focus and efficiency. This form of presenteeism lowers productivity as even simple tasks become more challenging to complete.

  • How can I measure the impact of presenteeism on my business?

    SET offers a research-based tool to assess the impact of presenteeism, quantifying the costs in time and money for your business. This adaptable tool, suitable for various industries and company sizes, enables proactive management of presenteeism to minimize its costs and enhance productivity.

Understanding and Addressing Presenteeism to Enhance Business Performance

By Natalie Dzepina • March 14, 2024
Presenteeism refers to a situation where an employee is present at work despite physical or mental health problems, resulting in reduced productivity and efficiency. Unlike absenteeism, where the repercussions are visible and quantifiable (lost work days), presenteeism is more insidious, as it involves an employee who is physically present but operating well below optimum capacity.
