Signal Three common conditions each cost US employers over USD 300 per employee annually
Summary
The report quantifies how everyday health problems drain employer productivity in the United States. Hypertension, heart disease, and depression are each estimated to cost US employers upward of 300 dollars per employee every year. Cardiovascular disease on its own is linked to 156 billion dollars in lost productivity. Untreated insomnia adds roughly 2,280 dollars per affected worker annually through absence, weaker performance, and more accidents. McKinsey uses these figures to argue that investing in employee health is a direct lever on performance and should be woven into core strategy rather than treated as a side benefit.
