Vital and healthy employees demonstrably perform better.
When employees feel good, they will approach their work with more joy and energy, and the contribution they make to the organization is visibly enhanced. It is worthwhile to pay attention to this, both from a policy perspective and, more importantly, at an individual level.
As an organization, you can make a significant contribution to this, and it is actually a necessity. After all, the flip side may be that less vital employees may drop out or are at risk of dropping out. And by now, we are well aware that absenteeism is costly. The importance of a good absenteeism policy, timely interventions, and appropriate absenteeism guidance is significant.
However, for many organizations and employees, it can be quite challenging to address this adequately. We are working longer, getting older, and the challenges of balancing work and personal life in today's society are rapidly increasing.
