On average, employees miss five unplanned workdays annually, with absenteeism due to mental health alone costing $47.6B in the U.S. every year. However, employee recognition can reduce absenteeism by 22%, cutting missed days to fewer than four per employee annually. For a company of 10,000 employees, this could save over $3M.

This reduces absenteeism, boosts productivity, and improves overall business outcomes.
