ZekerArbo in the FD: mental breakdown requires early help
Waiting for things to go wrong costs companies a lot of money
Today Het Financieel Dagblad published an extensive article about the growing mental pressure within SMEs and the need to intervene earlier at signs of overload.
Research from ZekerArbo shows that 65% of Sickness Absence is psychological or relational in nature, with work pressure and disrupted working relationships playing a major role.
In the article, Denise Meijdam (director ZekerArbo) and Helen van Empel (director Yet) emphasize that employees often raise the alarm too late, while early support can actually be effective.
Thanks to the cooperation between ZekerArbo and Yet, employees can have a consultation with a psychologist, coach or counselor within 48 hours-at the earliest and without the intervention of the manager .
The message is clear: Waiting until things go wrong costs companies handsomely. Preventive support must become as natural as absence counseling.
