IS PRESENTEEISM A BUSINESS ISSUE FOR YOU?

IS PRESENTEEISM A BUSINESS ISSUE FOR YOU?
 
Presenteeism - a term that describes the 'working sick' - refers to employees who are physically present in work but who are less productive due to difficulties they're facing in their personal or professional lives, mental health issues or a physical illness.

In an article just published on www.hrzone.co.uk Amanda K Smith, executive committee member of EAPA, outlines why presenteeism is an issue that employers need to take seriously and outlines steps they can take to minimise the impact of presenteeism on their business, including who's at risk and how to make presenteeism a business case.
