Stress and mental health remain primary reason for days off work

Absence management figures published in a report from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), found that stress and mental health issues remain the overarching reason for days off work and that one third of employers are not taking action to adress this issue.

However, one third of employers who included stress in their top five reasons for absence are not currently taking any action to address this issue.

The CIPD report considers key workplace absence issues and is based on survey replies from 518 organisations from a range of sectors throughout the UK, which employ a total of 1.4 million employees. The survey reports that overall absence levels have fallen from an average of 7.6 days per employee in 2013 to 6.6 days this year.
