Stress & mental health
Mental illness is the most common cause of long-term absence. Stress prevention isn't a soft-skills programme — it's a legal requirement under the Occupational Safety Act (ArbSchG).
What it's about
Burnout, depression, anxiety disorders: mental illness causes more absence days than back complaints. At the same time, studies show early stress prevention has an ROI of up to 1:5.
Why it pays off
§ 5 ArbSchG obliges employers to carry out a psychological risk assessment — for every single workplace. Ignoring this risks fines and liability in the event of burnout-related illness.
