Job stress is estimated to cost American companies more than $300 billion a year in health costs, absenteeism and poor performance.
In addition, consider these statistics:
Depressive illness, a common side effect of job stress, in employees is associated with nearly 10 annual sick days (this study included one large firm).
Healthcare expenditures are nearly 50% greater for workers who report high levels of stress.
Job stress is the source of more health complaints than financial or family problems.
Replacing an average employee costs 120-200% of the salary of the position affected.
The average cost of absenteeism in a large company is more than $3.6 million/year.
Depression is the largest single predictor of absenteeism and work-related performance.
For every 47 cents spent on treating depression, another 53 cents is indirectly spent on absenteeism, “presenteeism”, and disability.
Insurance data indicates insurance claims for stress-related industrial accidents cost nearly twice as much as non-stress related industrial accidents.
40% of job turnover is due to stress.
Did You Know?
On-Site employee wellness programs reduce overall absenteeism by 19%, and employees participating in wellness programs take 70% fewer sick days than those opting out of wellness. (Source: WELCOA)
According to Abseentism: The Bottom-Line Killer, a publication of the workforce solution company, Circadian, unscheduled absenteeism costs roughly $3,600 per year for each hourly worker and $2,650 each year for salaried employees.

Planning a company meeting?
Providing movement like yoga or a mindfulness/meditation break at your meetings is a great recipe for satisfied and focused attendees.
Exercise helps improve brain function, and many of your fitness-focused members will greatly appreciate a mind/body break!
At your next meeting consider offering a yoga or mindfulness/meditation class in the morning or, better yet, in the afternoon as brain power begins to ebb. No need to commit to a long session, which will surely scare off the newbies anyway. Just 10 minutes of mindfulness can work wonders.
If you have space in your group meeting place, all you need to do is show up in comfortable clothes, and I bring everything else — the music, props and mats. I even bring my own yoga mat spray and hand towels for your use!
After a group yoga class, people have so much energy, and they communicate with each other at a totally different level. Please call to discuss your perfect package!
