Cited as being the biggest threat to workplace productivity ‘presenteeism’ is making the news this week. It is estimated to be costing European businesses a staggering 73 billion Euros per annum so it is an issue well worth addressing – and an investment which is likely to reap huge rewards.

Brits are amongst the worst affected in Europe with 52% of UK workers going to work when their performance is negatively affected by work related health issues or other illnesses. In effect, their productivity is compromised as they are unable to function properly resulting in the quality and volume of their work being impacted.

UK employees suffer predominantly with backache, neck aches and headaches as a result of unhealthy working practices. The main bad work habits contributing to to their health are poor posture (sitting at desks), not drinking enough water and sitting for too long.

So, to address the resulting reduction in work out put it is crucial to address workplace health to achieve e a happier, engaged and more productive workforce.
