With an aging Canadian workforce, growing rates of workplace stress, increasingly busy lifestyles, and an uncertain economy, you are facing the important challenge of keeping your employees healthy, engaged, and at work.
Statistics Canada reported in 1997 that 5.5% of full-time workers were absent from work for personal reasons; by 2006, this number had risen to 8.2%. With driving factors such as mental health issues, substance abuse, stress, fatigue, workplace disengagement, and illness on the rise, having the strategies to promote and manage workplace attendance are more critical than ever.
