Presenteeism Statistics
The hidden cost of employees working while unwell — often larger than absenteeism, and much harder to see on a spreadsheet.

Cite the source and publication year directly on the page.
Presenteeism is largely a policy and culture problem, not just a hygiene one — employees come in sick because they feel they have to, not because they want to. A sick leave policy that removes that pressure is one of the highest-leverage interventions available; see our sick leave policy guide.
Reducing the underlying illness rate through hygiene and disinfection investment reduces both sides of this equation at once. See the ROI of workplace disinfection for how that plays out financially.
