In the ageing population (50+) older employees are subject to stress-related diseases such as depression, anxiety, and cardiovascular diseases. Overall Europe this results in a tremendous increase of health care costs on the one hand. Costs related to mental disorders and work-related depression in Europe amounts to about € 240 billion/year, respectively € 620 billion/year. On the other hand, sick leave causes loss of productivity and affects the Gross National Products of the individual countries.
