Health management, at the heart of human resources issues

Ever-increasing absenteeism, burnout, mobbing, conflictual relationships, stress... the working work is increasingly confronted with these problems. Corporate health management is therefore becoming a key area that organisations must implement at all levels. There are more and more organisations committed to an Environmental and Social Responsibility approach. They prioritise the well-being of their employees and cultivate a positive social environment.


Promoting the physical and mental well-being of employees within an organisation involves several challenges. First of all, the impact on productivity: healthy employees are more likely to show up at work and maintain peak performance. This reduces costs related to absenteeism and reduced productivity.


Additionally, health management helps create a positive work environment, which can increase employee satisfaction, promote retention and attract new talent.


Financially, health-focused initiatives can also reduce insurance costs, while improving overall company profitability.


Our subsidiary, ISMAT Group, offers a global approach, taking into account all aspects linked to corporate health risk management, from the deployment of complete programmes to the implementation of targeted micro-actions.

The cost of absenteeism

Whether it is short or long term, absenteeism weighs heavily on the company's finances. Several types of costs are identified:


Indirect costs: frequent absences affect productivity and the working climate within the teams.
 
Direct costs: too much pressure, work overload, a harmful climate are all factors that develop long-term absence. 72% of long-term absences are the consequence of repeated short-term absences.


Replacement costs: to alleviate work overload and allow the company to operate normally, employers use temporary staff. In addition to its cost, this impacts the company culture and affects morale within the teams.


Turnover and recruitment costs: faced with steadily increasing absenteeism, the most talented or high-potential employees leave the company for a more stable organisation.


The costs of APG (loss of earnings compensation scheme) premiums: an increasing absence rate causes the domino effect: premiums rise, the risk profile deteriorates and reserves explode.


For example, for a company with 500 employees experiencing an average absence rate of 5% (i.e. the equivalent of 25 employees absent all year), the associated costs would be as follows:

-    Direct cost of absences: 2.5 million/year

-    Indirect cost of absences: 5 million/year
