MentalHeathDisabilityFacts

•  In most organizations, 1% to 2% of all workers have a mental health disability claim each year.

•  MH claims account for a third of all disability costs.

•  MH claims are difficult and more expensive to treat because of clinical and social factors that complicate recovery and RTW process.

•  Private organizations in Canada spent between $180 to $300 million on STD and $135 million on LTD for mental health and addictions in 2008.

•  45% of employers in Canada say these costs are increasing.

SecondaryEffectsofMentalHealthDisordersonOtherDisabilityCases

•  Mental health comorbidity can create undiagnosed hidden effects that exacerbate the treatment course and costs associated with other kinds of disability claims that do not have a mental health primary diagnosis.

•  Some employers and disability insurers now screen ALL disability cases for possible mental health and addiction symptoms as a standard practice in disability management.

•  20% - 40% of all STD claims involve diagnosed comorbid or secondary mental health and/or addiction problems.

It’sAboutPresenteeism

Presenteeism in the workplace:A review and research agenda

GARY JOHNS*

Department of Management, Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Summary Presenteeism refers to attending work while ill. Although it is a subject of intense interest toscholars in occupational medicine, relatively few organizational scholars are familiar with theconcept. This article traces the development of interest in presenteeism, considers its variousconceptualizations, and explains how presenteeism is typically measured. Organizational andoccupational correlates of attending work when ill are reviewed, as are medical correlates ofresulting productivity loss. It is argued that presenteeism has important implications fororganizational theory and practice, and a research agenda for organizational scholars ispresented. Copyright # 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Introduction

Absenteeism, generally defined as not showing up for scheduled work, has a long research history, duein part to its perennial cost to organizations and its status as an indicator of work adjustment (Harrison& Martocchio, 1998; Johns, 1997, 2008, 2009). However, it is only recently that presenteeism hasbecome a subject of interest. Although some definitional confusion will be addressed in what follows,the most recent scholarly conception of presenteeism involves showing up for work when one is ill.Excitement concerning the subject has been fueled by claims that working while ill causes much moreaggregate productivity loss than absenteeism (e.g., Collins et al., 2005) and by the idea that managingpresenteeism effectively could be a distinct source of competitive advantage (Hemp, 2004).

In this article, I trace the development of interest in presenteeism and review its severalconceptualizations. Then, I offer a definition to guide research that will contribute to bothorganizational theory and practice. The challenges involved in measuring presenteeism and relatedproductivity loss are considered, and organizational, occupational, and medical correlates arereviewed. Finally, a research agenda for studying presenteeism is presented. A prominent subtext is thatscholars in organizational behavior, human resources, organizational psychology, and healthpsychology have important theoretical and methodological skills that should be brought to bear instudying presenteeism.

ReturntoWorkArerDisability

Return to Work (RTW) support programs and employee-specific Workplace Accommodations are not only legally required but are crucial for gradually getting the person healthy again and back to work.

Partial or early RTW – while some treatment is still ongoing – gradually increases work hours and intensity of work tasks over time. This approach is is helpful for most mental health disability cases and is becoming a standard practice.
