Often employees feel the need to show up for work, even when they are really too sick to be there. It’s called presenteeism and various studies have shown that it costs US employers from $150 billion to $280 billion a year. This is due to an increase of worker illness, from sick employees spreading infection, and can cause a loss of productivity when employees come to work at less than 100 percent of their ability.

In a recent study conducted at the University of Arizona, people had been given different drops on their hands at the beginning of the day, including fake cold, flu, and stomach flu viruses and plain water. It was found that, in just four hours, over half of all commonly touched office surfaces were infected with viruses. By the end of the day, although cold and flu viruses, with a shorter survival time, had mostly vanished, 70 percent of the surfaces were infected with the fake stomach flu viruses.University of Arizona link Accordingly, in 2009 it was reported, from data collected by the IWPR, that as many as 7 million employees were infected by the H1N1 virus from co-workers coming to work sick.
