Survey results from the
2012 Absence Management Survey found
that the average level of employee absence
has fallen compared with last year from
7.7 days to 6.8 per employee per year.

However, the fall in absence levels coincides
with almost a third of employers reporting
an increase in the number of people going
into work ill. The threat of redundancies and
concerns over job security are shown to
contribute to such ‘presenteeism’.
