An additional 20% of employees said that while they had not left, they did come close. According to the study, as a result of poor wellbeing, 42% of employees said they’d taken more sick days, 63% of employees said they’d taken longer to get jobs done due to decreased productivity and 54% said they’d experienced confrontations with their colleagues.
