The cost of unaddressed workplace trauma is not invisible. You are already paying it.
Absenteeism. Turnover. Presenteeism — people who come to work but cannot perform. Conflict that seems disproportionate to its trigger. These are frequently the visible surface of unaddressed trauma within the workforce.
The Business Case
- Absenteeism: Employees with PTSD miss an average of 3.6 additional days per month, accumulating to significant lost productivity.
- Turnover: Replacing a single experienced employee typically costs 50–200% of their annual salary. Secondary traumatic stress is a primary driver of turnover in helping professions.
- Presenteeism: Traumatized employees present but unable to perform represent the largest hidden cost — research estimates presenteeism costs employers nearly three times as much as absenteeism.
- Healthcare utilization: Employees with untreated PTSD utilize healthcare at significantly higher rates, including for chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, and sleep disorders.
