Presenteeism; Adults go to Work when they are Sick…duh

Presenteeism is/means coming to work when you’re sick.

Well why would you stay home and burn a vacation day if you can get paid for being sick?

Far too true to be amusing….and even grosser if you ponder that nobody really cleans the office!! ew!

Here’s a reference from 2013…

In 2014, we are seeing more of the term Presenteeism related to Wellness.  It’s a metric right next to absenteeism.  It’s tough to measure who is at work sick and who is not at work on a sick day, yet not actually sick on a sick day (maybe sick child, maybe errands, maybe other emergency).

Let’s encourage Prevention via No More Presenteeism and if someone is coughing and hacking a lung all over everyone at work, send them home.  Poo Poo to Presenteeism!  It’s the best prevention with no irreversible or consequential side effects!
