If you were Max, how would you have behaved in this situation?
What criteria help you decide whether to work or call in sick?
Max would say of himself that he is almost never sick. But this year it’s not the first time.
I would like to give you an insight into Max’s sense of duty in the following video.
If you think about Max’s example, what do you think your colleagues at work think about when you call in sick?
What do you think your supervisor is concerned about when you call in sick?
Being sick and feeling sick is something very individual.
The person concerned knows himself best and makes the decision.
We were also able to gather valuable results on this topic in our survey.
In the chart below, we have asked how likely it is that someone will go to work despite their symptoms for five medical conditions. Do you find yourself in this graph? It may be that you can’t identify with any of the industries. In that case, we have not yet listed them due to the small number of participants in that industry.
