White paper: Causes, Costs and How to Prevent Absenteeism

 

Long-term absenteeism has an enormous impact on the functioning and continuity of organisations. Under the direction of Prof. Dr. Frederik Anseel and Cédric Velghe, The VIGOR Unit carried out an in-depth study of the scientific literature on absenteeism in 2020. The conclusions are then compared with the practical experience of 1,000 Belgian employees, thanks to a survey conducted by IPSOS on behalf of AG Health Partner and AG Employee Benefits.

This white paper presents the results of the cross-analysis of these studies. In addition, you will leave with clear recommendations that can be applied immediately within your organisation.
