17. Health and Productivity in the Workplace
Absenteeism, or chronic non-attendance at work, undercuts the productivity of the workforce. A phenomenon that also substantially affects the workforce is presenteeism, employees who come to work, but because of their medical conditions, work at lower levels of productivity. Research on this newly defined phenomenon is just beginning, but early results indicate that presenteeism is more costly than absenteeism, rivals health care costs, is often driven by behavioral health conditions, and can lead to expensive and disruptive disability claims.

Even more alarmingly, depression is often undiagnosed or untreated when it exists with other conditions.
