Detecting and preventing illnesses, before they go public.

The best way to stop a crisis is to prevent it from becoming one in the first place. We’ll help you create a culture of safe working, detect problematic illnesses before they spread, and, most importantly, keep your business out of the news.

Best Question:

What can we learn about the new Korean study on working while sick? 

We read a very interesting study recently that looked long-term at Korean workers. While there are important cultural differences between the U.S. and Korea in terms of working conditions and sick leave, we still learned a lot that we think can apply in the U.S. and other countries. 

‍

It’s useful to know that, much like the U.S., Korea doesn’t have universal paid sick leave, and it’s actually very common in Korea to go to work no matter what, even if you’re sick. 

‍

  1. Presenteeism was much more common than absenteeism. Nearly double the number of people reported going to work while sick than reported staying home due to illness.

  2. Coming to work sick is an early sign of declining health. They’re more likely to use more sick days later.

  3. Actions can be taken to get people resources. Just because someone worked sick doesn’t mean you should write them off - sharing resources like available health benefits can be a useful intervention to prevent future absences and support employee health.
