In these harsh economic times with a soaring unemployment what really matters is that people have the willingness and desire to work. Just in the past few months as the spectre of unemployment seems about to pounce on every household and threatens to undermine the economic stability of every family, I have seen my injured and sick patients ask to be allowed to return to work sick rather than taking time out to recover. This is in stark contrast to years past when even a stuffy nose would be a cue for some people to look for an extended leave of absence. Things are different now. People still get sick, they still get banged up and bruised but this winter has brought out a desperation in people and they are asking not to be taken out of their jobs. Being the kind of employee that shows up for work on time, works hard and shows the best attitude and initiative possible translates into job stability if there is any to be found.
This change in our economic climate means that change also extends to the management as well since they are expected to lead by example.
