Corporate Health Management as success factor

The latest figures from the Federal Statistical Office (FSO) in May 2025 are clear:
Sick leave in Switzerland continues to rise – from 7.6 to 8.5 days per full-time position in just one year (+12%). Particularly striking is the increase in absences due to mental health issues.

Stress-related productivity losses alone cost the Swiss economy around CHF 6.5 billion every year (Job Stress Index, Health Promotion Switzerland).
For companies, this means: increasing pressure, rising costs, and declining productivity.

Workplace health management (CHM) is effective – but in practice, many companies face similar hurdles (Source: SalutaCoach):

• Lack of human and financial resources

• Difficulty measuring the impact of measures

• Employees under high stress are hard to reach

1. Psychosocial health promotion
   Resilience training, mindfulness training, coaching & supervision
   → Less burnout, better mental health, fewer absences

2. Leadership development
   Training for health-oriented leadership
   → Better team culture, higher motivation, fewer conflicts

3. Occupational reintegration management (BEM)
   Structured return-to-work processes after illness
   → Faster reintegration, lower turnover, higher loyalty

• ROI of 2.5 to 4.8 – every invested franc returns up to CHF 4.80
• Companies with systematic BGM: 20–30% fewer absences

Example from practice:

• 28% fewer absences
• +12% productivity
• CHF 180,000 annual savings
• ROI: 3.8
