Calling in sick to work can have major repercussions on the entire office. Not only will you have a lot of work to make up when you return, but also, those who remain during your absence must put aside some of their own duties to handle yours.

Ten to twelve percent of sick days are caused by the flu, so employers are eager to provide flu vaccines to their employees. If sick days could be cut by a decent percentage, workplaces all around would notice a definite surge in productivity.

Many people try to soldier on and come into work even they come down with the flu. If the illness is mild enough, this might seem reasonable. However, you are probably still contagious, and your working ability is compromised. In turn, your productivity and overall capabilities are lessened.

You’ll not only be spreading the flu to your co-workers, but your output will be much less than it normally would be. All in all, coming in to work while ill is not a smart move. It’s easy to see why the flu spreads from employee to employee as the flu travels at lightning-fast speeds.

By encouraging employees to receive the flu vaccine, employers can dramatically reduce the number of sick days that they usually incur. In turn, fellow employees won’t be burdened with sick employees’ work as frequently, and productivity will remain at an even keel.

Fewer employees will show up to work while under the weather, too, which means that more things will get accomplished in a reasonable and effective manner. All around, flu vaccinations are an excellent way to improve the workplace.

Studies have shown that when an employee receives the flu vaccine, he or she is much less likely to call in sick or have other absences during the year. Employees are also more likely to receive their flu vaccine if it is conveniently offered to them while at work.
