Sickness is, unfortunately, one of the constants in life. (Alongside growing old and the office fridge being full of out-of-date food.) It also happens to be rather expensive for business.
First, you have to pay sick leave, then you have to arrange for other employees to work overtime, try to make up for the fact that the rest of your team are now overworked, and cope with the cost of lost working time and any mistakes made as a result… Nightmare. We don’t have a magic miracle cure, worse luck, but we do have some suggestions for helping to reduce the impact of sickness on your company and your team. That’s almost as good, right?
