Addressing Mental Health-Related Absenteeism

Mental health-related absenteeism is one of the leading causes of work disability: approximately 37% of all cases are psychological in nature, and this number has increased by 10% over the past five years. Think of burnouts, but also bore-outs. It’s important to understand the underlying causes.

Shaimaa Hachriu (Business Unit Manager Large Enterprises at Capability) and Martine de Troije (Coach and Trainer at OnzeCoach) discuss the topic with host Rik Nijkamp (Commercial Director at Prevermo). They address the imbalance between work and personal life, generational differences in the workplace, and the impact of our society and work environment.

Purpose, fulfillment, and feeling valued are key components of workplace happiness. When these are missing, stress levels rise and so does mental health-related absenteeism.

Learn to identify the signs early and understand your role as an employer: create a safe work environment, initiate open conversations, and encourage transparency. Provide appropriate support and resources.
This is how you can sustainably prevent or resolve mental health-related absenteeism.
