Have you ever gone to work sick because you felt you needed to? Or perhaps you have worked longer hours just to impress your boss? If you answered 'yes' to any of the questions above you have experienced something we call preseenteeism: the habit of coming to work when you shouldn't.
In this episode, Jason and Christine discuss the damage that this practice causes on staff productivity and mental health, and what can be done to minimise and fix the problem.
