The World Health Organization predicts by 2020 that Mental Illness will be the leading cause of illness resulting in the greatest loss of revenue in the First World.
Depression alone is estimated to:
- Reduce workplace performance by 40%
- Contribute to the loss of 6 million working days annually
The estimated annual revenue lost to an employer (in sick days and poor productivity) by a worker with untreated depression is $9,660. Psychological injury represents 27% of the total cost of all WorkSafe claims with an average time off of 96.1 days, compared with 28.9 days for other claims.
Directors, Managers and staff of Australian workplaces can have foresight and enact positive, forward thinking changes to the mental well-being and safety of its workers. This can mitigate the impact of mental illness and reduce potential litigation towards managers and companies.
