One in five employees in the UK have admitted that the last time they took a ’sick day’ was actually for personal reasons rather than because they were ill. In Britain, another one in eight workers took time off to look after another member of their family.
The study also showed that half of Britons would not take ’sickies’ if they were offered more flexible working hours or the right to ’social days’.
A well worn phrase, which we find ourselves using regularly, but a recent survey by the CMI has again proved it to be true.
The CMI continually stress the need for a management and leadership revolution to meet the challenges facing Britain. There’s a fundamental need for better recognition of what managers do and how they shape our economy.
