Wellbeing Strategies to tackle Sickness Absence

The proportion of organisations now focusing on employee well-being as a means of tackling increasing absence levels and costs, has soared over the last year, according to a new survey from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).

The CIPD annual Absence Management survey of more than 800 organisations, reveals employee well-being has recently climbed up many corporate agendas as a critical area of action, with 42% of organisations saying they have implemented a well-being strategy compared to just 26% for the previous year.

The increased interest in providing employee wellbeing support among employers accompanied by an increase in the average annual level of absence, which climbed to 8.4 days per employee a year, from 8 days for the previous 12 months. There was also a significant increase in stress at work with a positive net balance of 31% of employers reporting an increase in stress-related absence.
