A prolonged absence of executives or specialists generates high costs.Experts estimate that the cost of replacing an employee can often be many times the annual salary. It is not uncommon for the total cost to be between 1.5- and 3-years’ salary.These costs are made up of direct (substitute person, overtime, etc.) and indirect costs (loss of know-how, fluctuation, etc.).Burnout aftercare is primarily aimed at rebuilding the affected employees and promoting their health, it can also have positive effects on employee retention under certain conditions.Burnout prevention not only saves costs, but is also an investment in the future of the company. Healthy employees are more productive and happier. This leads to lower turnover, which strengthens employee retention.When your company actively takes steps to support employees who are experiencing burnout, you signal a high level of appreciation from your employees.I rely on holistic approaches to burnout prevention. This makes the difference because they take the whole person into account – Body, mind and soul – and aim to create balance in all areas of life.Dirk
