Are workers telling the truth when they say they are ill? This question was posed on the Money Programme on BBC Television in December 2004. British Bosses are reporting that more and more of their staff appear to be skiving off with faked illnesses and many firms are taking new steps to crack down on malingerers. Research by the Confederation of British Industry suggests that workplace absence is on the rise for the first time in five years. Last year we were off sick on average for 7.2 days up from 6.8 the previous year. It costs UK businesses £11.75bn a year, the CBI says. The CBI also estimates that 15% of all illness is due to people taking days off when they are not really ill.
Now while I accept that theree will always people who take time off work for no good reason, I believe managers need to take a long hard look at how they manage their people in the first place. Perhaps if they made the workplace a far better place to be then a lot less people would take a "sickie."

Reward ConsultantMy best friend`s husband is what is known as a
Reward Consultant. When I first heard about his job I was really intrigued as to what a
Reward Consultant was as I had never heard of one before. My friend explained his job in detail and it turned out that a
Reward Consultant is somebody who advises companies on how to structure pay and benefits for their employees. Obviously, this is a really responsible job and my friend`s husband is suitably high powered for such a position. I know that he must be doing very well in his job as they are always taking fantastic holidays on his salary alone as my friend does not work as she has three young children at home. Although my friend`s h
Locksmiths CoventryMy brother and sister in law have just opened a
Locksmiths Coventry and I am really hopeful that their business will do well for them. They thought that a
Locksmiths Coventry was the best type of business for them as my brother has a background in the business and wanted to make sure that he got some of the proceeds of the work for himself rather than just making money for the owner of the business. The reason they have opened a
Locksmiths Coventry rather than in the north of the country where we are originally from is that my sister in law is from that area and she wanted to be closer to her parents. I can completely understand her wishes, especially in light of the fact that they are planning to have a family in the very near future and I know, having two children of my own, that having your parents at close hand is immensely reassuring. Of course, I will really miss them both but it is not that far away and I am sure that we will see them very regularly. What is the most important thing for them both right now is that they make a success of their business and, I am sure with hard work and dedication, they will do.
