26. Costs 1,000 euros per employee per day of absence
Even when the direct cost falls, the indirect costs will increase in the course of the
absence (partly due to the snowballeffect *)
Potential profit = (care-as-usual absence - Insourcing absence)*1,000 euros
Potential profit: (189-92)*1,000 euros = 97,000 euros (or rounded 100,000 euros)
Since it mainly concerns indirect costs, this profit is primarily for the company.
*The risk that other employees will also fall out.
What pops up when you think about CHO?
What do you see them do?
Today, creating happy employees is big business!!!
You will find many pictures like this on the websites of companies and providers who pormise you happy people when you work with them!
The first question that comes to mind, is
Do we need actions to create happy people?
Yes!
Because more that half of all working people experiences negative stress at work. So yes, we need to find a solution for this stress
Why? Stressed people are less sexy then resilient people

Before we discuss solution,s let’s first look at the causes
We work in a VUCA world
Volatile, uncertain, womplex and with a lot of ambiguïty
Or it’s life but not as you know it…
appreciation; meaningfullness
Speed
Fagmentation/ hyperspecialisation & communication
NWOW => attacking our brain and energy reserve
Number of people suffereing from stress is rising
35% less productive due to toxic stress
15h lost working time per week
What are the solutions today? Offered by our CHO?
Premisses is correct: a health mind in a healthy body but how is it translated?
Moreover, CHO believe that we can choose wisely between their offerings…
Mostly, they are presneted the negative sof stress hwile their is as much of positive associated around stress
Stress is not more then a signal telling us something needs to change. Or that their is a barrier we need to deal with.
Niet alle burnout = burnout (zie groenen)
