I read this morning that ISME are claiming that 83% of us fake being sick - so when we ring in sick a whopping 83% of us are lying, we even go so far as to get a sick cert from the doctor but employers don't believe the doctor is being entirely honest either.
ISME have surveyed their companies and this is the "opinion" of 83% of their users, perhaps this would be more credible if they had backed it up with medical evidence. The article also outlines how much this costs employers and the economy etc. and is quite shocking.
Now I have to say I am a bit stunned by this figure, I really think it's very high and I wonder at the suspicion and cynicism of employers if this truly is what they believe. So my question to you is this, when you ring in sick, are you faking it or are you really sick?
