• Sickness absenteeism is a widely researched workplace health problem that has long been seen as a cost to employers. Recent literature indicates that the counterpart of absenteeism, termed as presenteeism which refers to the practice of coming to work despite health complications, such as illness, injury or anxiety, often results in reduced productivity. Although presenteeism is much more costly compared to absenteeism, it is not yet common practice in organizations to measure the costs and use it as one of the Key Performance Indicators. This book presents the important issues related to the nature and extent of presenteeism and cites examples from different studies. The book discusses in depth why employees come to work despite being sick, strategies to manage presenteeism behavior and who should be taking the lead in managing such employee behavior. In addition, the author also includes three studies conducted in Singapore on the different aspects of presenteeism. The book offers a chapter on how to measure the cost of presenteeism to aid readers in measuring the cost of presenteeism in their own respective organization.
