Clinical and Financial Outcomes Associated With a Workplace Mental Health Program Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic. JAMA Netw Open. 2022;5(6):e2216349. Doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2022.16349; 5/13,7/13.

6 Log-days in treatment were associated with fewer missed days (incidence rate ratio = 0.94; 95% CI, 0.93-0.95), corresponding to total posttreatment outcomes of missing 0.32 fewer days per week. Missing 0.32 fewer days per week translates to 25% fewer missed work days. Bondar J, Babich Morrow C, Gueorguieva R, et al.

12 Log-days in treatment were associated with fewer unproductive days (incidence rate ratio = 0.94; 95% CI, 0.92-0.95), corresponding to total posttreatment outcomes of being unproductive for 0.64 fewer days per week. An extra 0.64 days/wk translates to 24% increase in productivity. Bondar J, Babich Morrow C, Gueorguieva R, et al.

13 In the non-Spring group, the risk of turnover was 7%. In the Spring group, the risk of turnover was 4%. This translates to a risk difference of 7% - 4% = 3%, or a risk ratio of (7% - 4%) / 7% = 43%. Bondar J, Babich Morrow C, Gueorguieva R, et al.
