The health situation of employees in Krefeld shows significant problems in the field of mental illnesses. According to current data from DAK health, sick leave in Krefeld in 2024 is unchanged at 6% compared to 2023. However, this is only part of the image, since the number of absences has increased due to mental illnesses.

The evaluation of the sick leave of all DAK-insured employees showed that around 2183 absenteeism was not available for 100 employees in 2024. Mental illnesses cause 426 days of illness per 100 employees, which is an increase of 7.1% compared to 2023 than was 398 days. This is particularly worrying because the range of mental illnesses is diverse and has a significant impact on professional life.

acceptance of other diseases

Interestingly, the absenteeism due to respiratory problems and muscle skeleton diseases are lower than in the previous year. In 2024, respiratory diseases led to 408 default days per 100 employees, in 2023 there were still 438 days. Muscle skeleton diseases, which include frequent symptoms such as back pain, also caused 391 days per 100 employees, which is a decline compared to 414 days in the previous year.

DAK health sees this development as critical and recommends a targeted occupational health management (BGM). The BGM is intended to help reduce work -related stress and actively involve employees in change processes. The health insurance company agreed that prevention is of central importance in the workplace to promote the health of the employees.

recommendations for companies

With the increase in mental illnesses, it is all the more important for companies to establish preventive measures. According to the information, a forward -looking package of measures not only supports employees, but can also significantly reduce the general badges. It remains to be seen how companies in Krefeld will react to these current challenges and which strategies are being developed to improve working conditions.

Overall, the analysis of DAK health shows that the challenges in the field of mental health must be taken seriously. With an increased need for support and preventive measures, it is time to take concrete steps to improve the situation. The importance of these measures cannot be emphasized enough to ensure the health of employees in the long term.
