More people call in sick for longer due to Corona 'change in moral outlook'
Dutch NewsPeople are calling in sick more often and for longer than before the coronavirus crisis, the latest quarterly figures from occupational healthcare organisation Arbo Unie have shown. Professor of occupational healthcare and Arbo Unie doctor Corné Roelen said the coronavirus crisis had prompted a ‘change in people’s moral outlook. ‘We see and hear that people call in sick and stay at home until they are completely better.’ Other reasons for the rise in the number of sick days may be increased pressure in a tight labour market, Roelen said. ‘People may feel they can’t face going back into a hectic working environment after a short period of time.’ In some sectors, such as the hospitality industry and construction, more people have called in sick for longer but in healthcare the opposite is true.
