This is the first of a number of insights I am going to give you to help you deal with the perennial problems of absence and abuse of sick leave.
No matter what you do, you will never eradicate this problem, as it is endemic to work. Nevertheless, once we give you some basic principles and teach you some practical techniques, we will materially help you to not only understand the whole issue around absenteeism, but you will be given some really powerful weapons to deal with it.
