Program to manage absenteeism and presenteeism related to pain
Combat absenteeism and presenteeism related to pain
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.

PROGRAM AIMED AT REDUCING ABSENTEEISM AND PRESENTEEISM RELATED TO PAIN FOR EMPLOYERS
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
