According to a recent article in Het Nieuwsblad, this increasing absenteeism is largely caused by our ‘digital work environment,’ which takes a heavy toll on the mental and physical health of young professionals. HR service provider Securex puts it plainly: “Psychological as well as physical complaints are pushing absenteeism to new record heights. The increase among young people is particularly alarming.” Constant Teams meetings and digital pressures create a downward spiral of fatigue, stress, and, eventually, more severe health issues. Is there a way out?

At BiometrIQ, we believe that a healthy, productive workplace starts with healthy employees. And that begins with proper nutrition. Our approach—based on personalized, data-driven nutritional advice—delivers tangible results that every company should strive for. By using technology to provide insights into dietary habits and their effects on energy levels and productivity, we make health measurable and achievable in the workplace.

More than nutrition: an investment in an energetic workforce

Healthy eating isn’t a “nice-to-have”—it’s a critical pillar of business success. Companies like ING and KPMG, which already collaborate with us through our partners, understand this. Our programs consistently demonstrate that investing in health makes a real difference. Employees participating in our programs report 2.5 times fewer sick days and gain five extra productive hours per week. And all this with minimal HR effort: thanks to our software and consultations, health becomes easily accessible to every employee with little added workload for HR teams.

Why nutrition works in times of digital overload

Nutrition fuels both the body and mind, yet it’s often overlooked in the workplace. Our platform starts with one central question: What do you need to maintain your energy and stay sharp? Through monitoring blood sugar levels and dietary patterns, employees gain insights into how their eating habits impact productivity and energy. These insights are translated into simple, actionable advice to help employees avoid energy crashes and maintain focus. The results are clear: a 10x ROI for companies implementing our wellbeing programs and a 1.6x increase in employee satisfaction. This kind of impact goes far beyond just reducing absenteeism.

Health as a strategic asset: what nutrition can do for your company

The article in Het Nieuwsblad calls for a reevaluation of workplace structures to combat absenteeism. But the solution isn’t just fewer Teams meetings or shorter workdays. The real difference lies in having healthy, engaged employees who tackle each day with renewed energy. Companies that integrate our programs not only build healthier teams but also position themselves as leaders in workplace wellbeing.

Healthy employees aren’t a cost—they’re an investment in your company’s future. At BiometrIQ, we are convinced that health is the ultimate strategic asset, delivering measurable results in both wellbeing and productivity. That’s why we partner with forward-thinking companies to achieve this vision.
