Current figures show that Swiss employees are subject to psychological stress in their everyday working lives:
The cost of stress in the work environment is often underestimated. Those affected by stress may develop depression and other psychological symptoms, are less productive, or are absent from work for an indefinite period of time. Absenteeism and presenteeism (working despite illness) also cost companies dear (approx. CHF 600 to CHF 1,000 per day).
