Conclusions
High Costs of Doing Nothing

Both medical and productivity costs impose heavy financial burdens on countries, communities and companies Without interventions, these costs can be expected to grow and compound

The Primary Sources of These Costs are Known


Chronic conditions cause people to seek care (medical costs) and reduce their ability to work (productivity) While behaviors do not have costs associated with them, the conditions they create and exacerbate can have substantial costs Curtailing or eliminating behavioral risks can reduce costly chronic conditions Addressing risks before they become conditions can be a significant source of savings

Intervening in Modifiable Behaviors Reduces Costs

The Cost of Chronic Conditions to the UK Economy

Dan Witters, Gallup September 29, 2011

The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index: A Comprehensive Approach to Measuring Wellbeing


Gallup-Healthways tracks 55 items that comprise six core sub-indexes to provide leaders with a comprehensive metric that covers six key interrelated areas of wellbeing:
Life Evaluation Ranking ones life today and in the future Emotional Health Daily feelings; clinical depression Physical Health Chronic conditions, obesity, physical pain, cold/flu Healthy Behaviours Smoking, healthy eating, exercise Work Environment Using strengths, supervisor relationships Basic Access Healthcare, agency satisfaction, money for basics

Chronic Conditions Cost the UK Economy 21,561,486,104 Per Year Due to the Absenteeism of Full-Time Workers
This is the cost of lost productivity - in the form of worker absenteeism - due to chronic conditions and unhealthy weight. Where this number comes from: n Four in five full-time British workers have subpar health. They are overweight, obese or have at least one additional chronic condition. n Due to these conditions, British full-time employees miss an estimated 103 million days of work each year (incremental to what they would miss otherwise).

Assumptions Used and Exclusions Made in Estimating the Cost of Chronic Conditions in the UK
Estimated costs per missed workday for full-time U.K. workers based on lost salary and benefits is 209.* n One unhealthy day translates to slightly over 0.3 actual missed workdays. n Normal weight, zero disease burden conditions set as baseline. n Above normal weight, 1-2 disease burden conditions and 3+ disease burden conditions establish test scenarios. Exclusions n Part-time workers were excluded from analysis due to unknown cost of lost salary and benefits. n Presenteeism (not absent from work, but less than normal productivity) was not included in analysis.

Summary of Primary Discoveries


n

The total estimated annual cost of absenteeism due to disease burden and above normal weight to the U.K. economy is 21,561,486,104.00. Nearly three in five Britons are overweight or obese, and above normal weight peaks among 45- to 64-year-olds. Only one in five full-time workers in the U.K. are normal weight with no disease burden conditions. Being above normal weight doubles the number of missed workdays for full-time workers. Absenteeism, however, sharply increases at 3+ disease burden conditions regardless of BMI. Clerical and service workers suffer more unhealthy days each month than any other occupation type; construction workers the least. Briton adults suffer from considerably less severe disease burden than their U.S. counterparts, across nearly every metric.

Lifestyle trends
It is likely that by 2025 40% of adults will be obese, and the number of people living and working with chronic conditions will rise steadily, affecting morale, competitiveness, profitability.

In an increasingly competitive global economy, only the healthiest businesses will prosper. Companies that invest to support employees health will be fitter to survive.

Why are people off work? - chronic conditions


Common chronic disorders respiratory conditions, cardiovascular conditions, rheumatic diseases, diabetes, rheumatic diseases, treated cancers do not deny the possibility of fulfilling work or an extended working life. They require:

good clinical care, Vocational Rehabilitation, wellinformed work-conscious healthcare professionals flexibility and adaptation in the workplace.

Previously fatal diseases are becoming chronic. If managed effectively, disability can be minimised and disease progress delayed - thus extending working life and reducing the load on health and care services.

Long term health conditions


Increasing recognition of the problem and its effects on UK competitiveness. Chronic conditions are increasing - they negatively affect business productivity by increasing absenteeism and reducing the emotional health and overall wellbeing of the population.

Chronic conditions guides for employees and line managers

Different problems need different approaches


Symptoms: 2/3 of cases
Often mild Symptoms not diseases: back pain musculo-skeletal symptoms stress anxiety, mild depression Few investigations required Diagnosed with relative ease Intervention needs to be early, often non-medical, good vocational rehabilitation, regular contact between employee and employer.

Chronic conditions: 1/3 of cases

Prevent chronicity

Examples: chronic rheumatic diseases endogenous depression bipolar disorders, schizophrenia diabetes, cancer post-trauma disability Investigations more extensive Diagnosis can be difficult Treatment good medicine, good flexible employers, plus rehabilitation. More prevalent in people living in poorer economic conditions Prevent deterioration

MacMillan Cancer Support and work


Cancer is becoming a long term condition.

109,000 working-age people are diagnosed with cancer in the UK each year 775,000 people of working age in the UK have had a cancer diagnosis Long term cancer survivors are 1.4 times more likely to be unemployed yet research shows that cancer patients want to work One in four long term cancer survivors say their cancer is preventing them working in their preferred occupation The average fall in household income for a family of working age with cancer is 50%. . . . . and 17% lose their home. Employers are sometimes not flexible in making adjustments to permit return to work. MacMillan Cancer Support

Rheumatoid Arthritis and Work in UK


50% of UK adults with RA are of working age. 75% are diagnosed when of working age 33% of people with RA will have stopped working within 2 years. Earlier diagnosis and appropriate treatment mean better retention in work. Increasing from 10% to 20% the number of people treated within 3 months of symptoms would increase NHS costs in England by 11 million over 5 years BUT could result in 31 million gain for the economy due to reduced sick leave and workrelated disability.

National Audit Office Report 2009 Public Accounts Select Committee 2010

MSDs: European Background

Up to 80% of people are affected by an MSD at some time in their life. MSDs account for about half of all work-related disorders in EU countries, costing between 0.5% and 2 % of GDP. MSDs account for almost 50% of absences from work of three days or more, 60% of permanent work incapacity. Unemployment rates are three times higher among people with MSD than in general population.
Musculoskeletal Disorders in the European Workforce, The Work Foundation, October 2009

MSDs: Action needed


Five principles which healthcare professionals, employers, employees and governments should focus upon to improve working lives of those with a MSD:

Focus on capacity not incapacity Early intervention is essential Imaginative job design is key to rehabilitation Think beyond the physical symptoms of MSDs (they are often associated with depression) Assess the direct and indirect costs of MSDs
Musculoskeletal Disorders and Labour Market Participation, The Work Foundation 2009

National Business Awards: SME Health, Work and Well-being award


Awarded to the organisation that best demonstrates how it worked to sustain the health and well-being of its workforce to the benefit of staff and the organisation. Port of Blyth is a medium sized port in Northumberland that has moved from centuries of servicing the local coalmining industry to a modern trust handling a variety of cargoes. It not only used a nationally-recognised training programme to address the literacy, numeracy and skills gap, but also implemented a range of well-being initiatives designed to help its staff move to become healthier

Making health, work and well being as high up the training agenda as specific skills knowledge.

Details - Port of Blyth


Male-dominated erratic shift workers The port partnered with local NHS health trainers Provided screening and monthly health promotion for staff Identified employees with uncontrolled hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and skin cancer Many staff quit smoking, lost weight and improved health behaviours The result is reduced sickness absence, improved productivity, lower staff turnover, better morale - and healthier, happier individuals. Partway through 2010 sickness absence was 1% of hours worked compared to the 2009 average 4.4% and 2008 average 6%.

Correlation between COPD and socio-economic factors

Those at risk of future hospital admission with COPD, live mostly in social housing and have, or have had, industrial or semiskilled jobs, uncertain employment, low levels of disposable income and considerable health problems (British Lung Foundation 2007) Those in lower socio-economic groups are up to 14 times more likely to have lung disease

Costs of mental ill-health at work

NICE: If mental illness costs employers 28.3 billion per annum in 2009: prevention and early identification of problems should save employers at least 30%, 8 bn a year for a 1,000 employee company annual costs could be reduced by 250,000. NICE Costing tool available at www.nice.org.uk/PH22 Calculates the overall cost of mental health in the workplace and potential savings to be made Calculates cost of absenteeism, presenteeism and staff turnover It calculates for a company with 1000 employees, mental health costs 835,355 per annum This could be reduced by 30% through taking simple steps, saving 250,607 per annum

November 2009 NICE guidance presents the business case.

Mental Health: how can savings be delivered?

Awareness training for line managers, to increase understanding of MH issues and their ability to respond confidently and rapidly, e.g. at the Centre for Mental Health (one of many such courses). Prevention of directly-work-related MH problems (around 15% of total) e.g. by providing mentally-healthy working conditions and practices (see guidance by UK Health and Safety Executive)

Better access to help for employees, particularly to evidence-based psychological help and support while carrying on working

Effective rehabilitation for those who need to take time off, including regular contact with the employee during periods of absence
