Wellbeing & Economic Impact
summary
Panel presents concrete data and fixes: a survey of ~250 startups finds 75% reported substantial lack of balance and two‑thirds say it hurts performance, while industry sick leave costs hit €6 billion/year and burnout losses run €50–100k per affected employee. Companies launch a formal founder well‑being and performance program with peer groups, coaching and family‑friendly support, push back on VC clauses that limit parental leave, and adopt practical tools like communication playbooks and “sequential single‑tasking” for returning parents.
