4. Send sick employees home
Finally, and this is the easiest: GO HOME! It’s also the hardest. Employers can help employees feel comfortable about leaving work—for their own recovery and to protect colleagues—by creating compassionate and respectful policies. No one should be afraid or ashamed about protecting others from contagious diseases or working from home to care for sick family members, especially kids when schools are closed. Sick-day allowance, leave and flexible telework schedules all play a role in protecting everyone in the office.
When we work together to promote a healthier environment, we may boost morale, increase employee retention, and improve productivity. Now go call your mother!
