Sick Employees Go Unnoticed
By Matthew L. Brown
Employees frequently show up to work while sick and their employers only occasionally realize it, according to results of a survey by OfficeTeam.
The survey asked workers how frequently they go to work while feeling sick and 45 percent said they do so very frequently. Another 30 percent said they go to work sick somewhat frequently. Only 8 percent said they never to go work sick.
Only 17 percent of executives asked how often they think their employees show up for work while sick said employees did so very frequently. Most, 57 percent, said sick employees nevertheless come to work somewhat frequently.
OfficeTeam is a staffing agency for administrative positions.
