Several factors can influence workplace attendance, including:
Health Policies: Regulations and guidelines set by health authorities can dictate when employees should stay home, especially during outbreaks. Sick Leave Policies: Availability and adequacy of sick leave can impact an employee's decision to attend work when feeling unwell. Workplace Culture: A culture that encourages working while sick can increase attendance but also the risk of disease spread. Remote Work Options: The ability to work from home can significantly reduce physical attendance, thereby lowering the risk of spreading infections. Personal Health: Individuals with pre-existing conditions may be more likely to stay home to avoid exposure.
