Over 1.6 million sick leaves due to mental health problems were issued in Poland in 2024. This is nearly 14% more than a year earlier. But before a sick leave appears, a process that is often difficult to capture develops for many months: a decrease in motivation, withdrawal, presenteeism – symptoms of mental overload and burnout. Rising absenteeism and turnover rates often indicate that organisations have missed warning signs. In a world of information noise, time shortages, accelerated change and uncertainty, caring for the mental wellbeing of teams is becoming a strategic necessity.
A silent crisis that begins sooner than we think
What lies behind employee burnout, presenteeism and reduced motivation?
Tomorrow starts today
Systematic approach: flexibility, quality and availability
Time for balance – also in our approach to mental health
