Haven't listened to the podcast yet, but I'm really interested in how an event like this could put a sharp point on the whole presenteeism issue. It seems employers like to talk out of both sides of their mouth about curbing presenteeism. Sure spreading illness at the worksite will sink productivity, but do employers really stress the need for workers to stay home -- and do they make it feasible for them to do that. Are they given extra time/resources to complete assignments, do they lose standing for doing so. Add in the fact that if an employer facilitates an unhealthy environment -- in an epidemic does not actively and aggressively discourage presenteeism -- has the liability quotient risen dramatically?
