— Workplace COVID policies have changed, but attitudes toward coming into work sick have not
Nearly 3 years after the start of a global pandemic, physicians and nurses have seen their workplace sick policies change with the tides of COVID-19. They’ve had their temperatures taken, filled out screening forms, and adapted to shifting availability of personal protective equipment.
But according to those who work bedside, attitudes toward coming into work sick haven’t changed as much. Healthcare providers told MedPage Today that, pandemic or not, the workplace culture built around a sense of duty and urgency keeps it rare to stay home sick. If anything, short-staffing across medicine has made people even less likely to take sick time than before.
