The Bottom Line
The productivity of any organisation is linked to the health of its employee, and ultimately, the bottom line. There are an increasing number of research studies that indicate healthy employees are more productive and absent less often.
Recent research conducted by Medibank Private* found.
- Healthy employees are nearly 3 times more productive than employees with poor health
- Employees with poor health take up to 9 times more sick leave than their healthy colleagues
- Presenteeism and absenteeism is costing Australian business $10.11 billion annually
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics* In a 2008 study 61.4% of the adult population are overweight or obese.
When research shows that obese employees have a higher rates of absenteeism than their non-obese counterparts, it is beneficial to employers to encourage employees to lose weight & improve their health.
