The Impact of Poor Mental Health in the Workplace
Mental illness and substance use problems have profound and far-reaching repercussions for businesses, including:
Lost Productivity
Depression and anxiety cost the Canadian economy almost $50 billion a year in lost productivity and more than 500,000 Canadian workers call in sick each week.
Absenteeism
High amounts of work stress and life conflict have been proven to reduce job satisfaction. This contributes to absenteeism, with the average full-time Canadian worker missing 9.3 days per year.
Employee Turnover
50% of Canadians who left their job in 2022 cited burnout and poor mental health as the primary reason.
