Without you not being here – about 20 sick days a year.

A study says that in 2023, 5.5 percent of German employees were absent every day due to illness. Sickness-related absences caused 26 billion euros of damage in 2023. Without them, Germany would not be in recession.

“At least for 2023, Germany will be the ‘sick man’ in the truest sense of the word, whose economic performance will be significantly more affected by the wave of illness than in other countries.”
