Few corporations benchmark their flu programs, a published study from the Disability Management Employer Coalition locates. But those that do often discover room for improvement.
Almost 80% of employers provide employees access to flu shots, either on-site or at a local clinic. And 72% cover some or all the cost (typically compensating between $10 to $20). But –
• At 89% of firms, fewer than half of workers actually get a flu shot
• At 38 percent of organizations, fewer than 25 percent of staff members participate
• only 6% of firms are able to get at least 75% participation
• 87 percent of survey respondents said they never measure absenteeism during flu season, and
• 75 percent never tracked whether workers who get flu shots are actually absent less often.
The firms that get best results are those that actively educate staff members, track flu-related absenteeism and send sick staff members home.
