00:00:00.010 --> 00:00:04.812
Absenteeism is the second
source of concern of

1
00:00:04.812 --> 00:00:09.822
companies, it is cited by
almost 37 per cent of

2
00:00:09.822 --> 00:00:14.726
them and is a growing
subject, the concern for

3
00:00:14.726 --> 00:00:19.215
absenteeism, because
absenteeism rates are

4
00:00:19.215 --> 00:00:20.498
increasing.


5
00:00:21.402 --> 00:00:25.252
In that sense all the
measures proposed to be

6
00:00:25.252 --> 00:00:29.018
welcomed are because
absenteeism has a very

7
00:00:29.018 --> 00:00:32.441
direct impact on the
competitiveness of

8
00:00:32.441 --> 00:00:36.548
companies but we have
always said that beyond a

9
00:00:36.548 --> 00:00:39.884
business concern it
should be a social

10
00:00:39.884 --> 00:00:43.904
concern because it has an
impact in many areas

11
00:00:43.904 --> 00:00:47.498
obviously on people's
health in the first

12
00:00:47.498 --> 00:00:51.176
place, As we say in the
competitiveness of

13
00:00:51.176 --> 00:00:55.285
companies but also in the
sustainability of the

14
00:00:55.285 --> 00:00:59.305
system because as you
know about 32 billion is

15
00:00:59.305 --> 00:01:03.410
the cost of the losses
due to IT common disease

16
00:01:03.410 --> 00:01:07.857
at the level of the State
of which approximately 16

17
00:01:07.857 --> 00:01:11.195
billion are what the
companies pay the

18
00:01:11.195 --> 00:01:15.133
companies and another 16
billion the National

19
00:01:15.133 --> 00:01:17.858
Institute of Social
Security.

20
00:01:18.832 --> 00:01:21.456
For us to get an idea,
16,000, 15 billion

21
00:01:21.456 --> 00:01:24.081
specifically is the
budget of the Basque

22
00:01:24.081 --> 00:01:24.860
government.


23
00:01:25.632 --> 00:01:28.371
All actors should first
share the diagnosis, I

24
00:01:28.371 --> 00:01:31.347
think it is more or less
clear, that is, the high

25
00:01:31.347 --> 00:01:34.207
volumes of absenteeism,
and then what we should

26
00:01:34.207 --> 00:01:37.183
go, well, then we should
put in place measures to

27
00:01:37.183 --> 00:01:38.300
try to reduce it.
