Short-term absenteeism continues to rise in Belgium, with the rate reaching 5.52% in 2016, according to a study by Mensura. This not only represents a major concern for companies in terms of direct and indirect costs, but also an opportunity to rethink workplace well-being strategies.
Absenteeism in Belgium
According to Mensura, the cost of absenteeism due to illness exceeds 5 billion euros annually, including guaranteed salaries, insurance, and losses due to replacements and reduced productivity. However, more than half of Belgian companies admit to not knowing their absenteeism rate, which complicates efforts to manage and reduce this phenomenon.
