Over 8.9 million days are lost to musculoskeletal conditions each year which equates to an average of 18.4 working days lost per case. Musculoskeletal conditions are the second biggest cause of workplace absence after coughs and colds and there is an knock on effect as additional pressure is placed on colleagues as they strive to ‘take up the slack’ that is inevitable when absences occur
Absence is expensive. Costs relate not only to the employee directly affected but other costs are often involved such as overtime, finding short to medium term replacements and training costs Employees from 45+ are at a greater risk of developing an MSD and cases of presenteeism are commonplace, with employees in pain unable to work to their full capacity. This presents a greater risk of injury at the workplace and tends to longer bouts of absence overall
It’s been shown that the average return on investment for every £1 spent on MSK health equates to between £3 and £8
