The 2017-2018 flu season was brutal. In the United States, there were over one million laboratory-confirmed cases of people with influenza who were admitted to the hospital. In Illinois and the Florida, school districts closed because so many students were out sick. Alabama even declared a public health emergency.
Last year’s flu season was record breaking, but even during a less severe flu season, five to 20 percent of Americans get sick. These numbers should concern employers, as a large number of ill employees can lead to serious productivity and efficiency issues.
