Cold/Flu Season Can Breed Resentment in the Workplace
7 in 10 Agree It’s Inconsiderate to Bring a Cold/Flu to Work, But Over Half Show Up When Sick
Now that cold and flu season is here, more than half of employed adults say they would keep coming to work when they’re sick, despite the fact 70 percent of their co-workers prefer they stay home, according to a recent survey of 2,507 adults conducted for Kimberly-Clark’s Kleenex brand by Harris Interactive.
More than half of all adults surveyed (59 percent) are more germ-conscious during the October -March than at other times of the year, the poll revealed. As germ conscious as they are, 53 percent said they typically go to work when they are sick with colds or flu. They go despite the fact that a strong majority (70 percent) of employed adults think it inconsiderate of their co-workers to be in the workplace with a cold or flu. Further, three in five (61 percent) said they know their co-workers would feel the same way if they came to work sick.
