Productivity, absence & presenteeism
- Globally, depression and anxiety drive ~12 billion lost workdays annually—~US$1 trillion in lost productivity. (World Health Organization)
- Burnout hits output and attendance: burned-out employees are 2.6× more likely to be job-hunting and 63% more likely to take a sick day. (Forbes)
Retention & culture risk
- Culture beats compensation: during the Great Resignation, a toxic culture was ~10× more predictive of attrition than pay in large U.S. firms. The same risk signals—disrespect, poor inclusion, unethical conduct—map to psychosocial hazards now regulated in AU. (MIT Sloan Management Review)
What changes when you address this
- Capacity improves (fewer crashes, better sleep, steadier focus) → higher quality work and fewer errors.
- Confidence & contribution rise (psychological safety, voice, decision clarity) → better collaboration and speed.
- Consistency returns (reliable follow-through, reduced procrastination) → predictable delivery and revenue.
What we do (Nicole’s Stress Recovery Method)
- A5 Activation Method™ (five levels: physical, mental, emotional, energy, spiritual) distilled into Restore → Rewire → Release:
- Restore: stabilise physiology (nutrition, sleep, hormones) to cut the drivers of absence and presenteeism.
- Rewire: regulate the nervous system and shift patterns (confidence, overwhelm, inner critic) to reduce burnout risk and turnover intent.
- Release: reduce inflammatory load and stagnation to sustain energy, mood and engagement across the week.
Bottom line: stress and burnout are measurable, material business risks—with a proven business case for action. Addressing them pays back in lower absence/presenteeism, stronger retention, and better performance. (
