Work: here’s why you need to stop feeling guilty when you take sick leave

Would it occur to you to encourage a colleague or friend who has a high fever, a cough or a case of gastro from hell to come to work anyway? The same goes for a colleague or friend whose mental health is fragile and which is on the verge of burn-out ? No, you would rather advise him to see his doctor and take sick leave. So why not do the same thing when you’re the one sick, overworked or depressed? Already because we rarely apply the good advice we give to those close to us, but above all because we feel guilty not to go to work. And that needs to change.

Take time to heal can help you get back to work in good shape,” says Anji McGrandles, mental health expert and entrepreneur at Grace UK. Without forgetting the fact that coming to work sick is a good way to convey your microbes to your colleagues, to exhaust yourself and to take longer than expected to heal. And even if you are teleworking and you are sick, you have the right to be arrested and treated!
