The president of Pimec Lleida, Borja Solans, highlighted that labor absenteeism is a major concern for local businesses. Despite the rise in psychiatric cases, musculoskeletal disorders remain the leading cause of sick leave, accounting for 26% of all registered processes.
“"Labor absences are a challenge with transversal effects that impact citizens and business activity."
The economic impact is significant, costing companies an average of 2,500 euros per worker annually. With 165,080 social security affiliates in the province, the total cost reaches 415 million euros per year.
