The Missing Employees

Psychiatric disabilities are steadily growing and
costing companies in lost productivity and employee
absenteeism.
According to American Psychological Association, for
example, at Bank One--now J.P. Morgan
Chase--employees' mental health issues from 2000–2002
accounted for the second leading cause of short-term
disability and were second in total of days absent
from work--behind only pregnancy.
One is left only to wonder, if the concern is for
absent employees or the sick employees. If its the
sick, are they sick because of the workplace
pressures themselves?
