Research shows that pain-related productivity losses cost companies across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines the equivalent of US$44.6 billion in 2016 - or 2.4% of the countries' combined gross domestic product, and counting.
With the rising cost of healthcare, many companies have found that prevention (that is, keeping staff healthy) is cheaper than cure (that is, healing them when they are sick). In some cases, the cost of company-sponsored nutrition, exercise and ergonomic office designs reduces spend on doctors, hospitals and insurance (not to mention the cost of absenteeism and low productivity) by more than the cost of prevention.
