TOTAL COST OF ABSENCE £ 0,000 COST OF PRESENTEEISM ![i-icon](https://wellness.vervehealthcare.co.uk/hubfs/raw_assets/public/VerveHealthcare_September2022/images/i-white-icon.jpeg) Presenteeism refers to the lost productivity that occurs when employees are not fully functioning in the workplace because of an illness, injury, or other condition. The CIPD estimates that up to 80% of employees continue to work when unwell. Presenteeism costs the UK £15 billion per year, making it twice the cost of absenteeism (Workmind) £ 0,000 % of workforce who leave due to ill health per year \* ![i-icon](https://wellness.vervehealthcare.co.uk/hubfs/raw_assets/public/VerveHealthcare_September2022/images/i-white-icon.jpeg) The average turnover of staff in the UK is 15% and a fifth of those who leave will do so because of ill health. We can therefore estimate that 3% of employees will leave each year due to ill health (Monster and Mental Health and Safety) Please Select Cost of one leaver \* ![i-icon](https://wellness.vervehealthcare.co.uk/hubfs/raw_assets/public/VerveHealthcare_September2022/images/i-white-icon.jpeg) Key replacement costs are resignation administration, recruitment and selection costs, covering the post during the period in which there is a vacancy, and induction training for the new employee. There are many estimates as to the total cost per employee, but these depend upon the salary, the seniority of the employee needing to be replaced and the Company’s approach to recruitment. A conservative average, based upon an average salary would be £12,000 per new employee (CIPD and Accounts and Legal) £ TOTAL COST OF LEAVERS £ 0,000 TOTAL COST OF ILL HEALTH £ 0,000 AND WE HAVE EVEN MORE NEWS FOR YOU # The total cost of ill health to # \[Company Name\] Thank you for completing our wellbeing calculator.
