3. 2007 Federal Environmental Symposium, June 4-6, 2007Lam/ 3 of 16 Health-related Productivity Costs/Case study Productivity loss may result from absence from work, but is more often due to reduced effectiveness on the job. In total, productivity losses from building-related health problems are equivalent to more than 10 days per employee per year.
