Work-related stress is estimated to cost American companies more than $300 million a year in health costs, absenteeism, and poor performance. In addition to these statistics:

• 40% of job turnover from stress.
• Healthcare expenditures are nearly 50% greater for workers who report high levels of stress.
• Replacing an employee costs an average of 120% to 200% of the affected position’s salary.
• An estimated 60% of all job absenteeism is caused by stress.
• Depression and unmanaged stress are the top two most costly risk factors in terms of medical expenditures. They increase healthcare costs two to seven times more than physical risk factors such as smoking, obesity, and poor exercise habits.
• Employees who perceive they have little control over their jobs are nearly twice as likely to develop coronary heart disease as employees with high perceived job control.

As businesses look for ways to support employees and help them be more effective, a new approach is gaining traction: The Resilience Advantage™ training, defined as the capacity to prepare for, recover from and adapt to stress, challenge, or adversity. When you are resilient, you are able to bounce back and recoup faster after a challenging situation. It’s a proactive, long-term strategy that helps employees cope with difficult situations while also supporting their mental health and overall well-being.
