Mental, Physical, Emotional & Spiritual Health plays a vital role in individual productivity and impacts the overall productivity of an organization. Being mentally absent is even more harmful than being physically absent due to sickness.

“Almost a quarter of the companies lose approximately 14 per cent of their annual working days (more than 51 days in a year) due to sickness, and one can expect an equal percentage of loss in their productivity and profits, which is a cause for concern,” says the study on ‘impact of preventive health care on Indian industry and economy.

Healthy individuals/employees impact 2% of overhead costs, as fewer healthy employees mean more sick leaves/absenteeism. More Sick day results in lower productivity and increased workload on the remaining healthy team members.

A 2015 study by Brigham Young University demonstrated that absenteeism was reduced by 27% when employees had a healthy lifestyle, exercised regularly, and ate healthy foods.

Good Health can enhance an individual’s productivity by improving their physical capacity. Productivity is largely a factor in an employee’s desire to work. Just because they have the physical power to do more work doesn’t necessarily mean they will. But to be more accurate, improved Health can improve a worker’s ability to be more productive.

Mental Health has a severe impact on productivity. In addition to depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues, financial stress, sleep deprivation, and the strain of caring for ailing parents further contribute to lost productivity.
