New study published by The Conference Board of Canada said many workers are influenced by the belief that feeling mentally unwell is not a good enough reason to call in sick
New research from the Conference Board of Canada indicates employees who would take time off work because of a physical injury are not as likely to take time off work if they have mental-health issues.
"The perception that mental illness was not a legitimate reason for absence was captured in our employee survey that asked participants to indicate the factors that influenced their decision to work despite feeling mentally or physically unwell," said the report. Another key finding in the report said most of the employers that were surveyed don’t measure the impact of their absence policies on attendance or on productivity and/or profitability .
"Conversely, our employee survey shows that higher employee-reported absenteeism and presenteeism are associated with receiving less paid time off."
