- The CDC reports that the annual direct and indirect costs of treating mental health disorders is $317.5 billion — even higher than the $310 billion OSHA attributes to the annual cost of workplace injuries.
- More workdays are lost or disrupted by mental illness than by chronic conditions such as arthritis, diabetes and heart disease. In fact, employers spend $70 billion each year on lost productivity and increased absenteeism due to untreated or ineffectively treated mental health disorders.
- Depression alone causes an estimated 200 million lost workdays each year and costs employers up to $44 billion annually. In just a three-month period, employees with depression miss an average of 4.8 workdays and 11.5 days of reduced productivity.
- The American Institute of Stress estimates that one million workers miss work each day because of stress, costing companies roughly $602 per employee per year.
Not all workplace perks are equal, but there are some that are extremely popular among employees, according to Glassdoor research.
