Headaches – A Silent Killer of Productivity
Presenteeism, when employees work while unwell, leads to significant productivity loss. Headache episodes can severely affect attention, output, and quality of work.
Headaches remain one of the most common yet under-recognized causes of lost productivity in the workplace.
Occupational health teams can reduce the burden through ergonomic review, hydration access, visual strain control, stress management, and early referral pathways. A clear workplace response helps employees seek timely support without stigma.
