The Cost of Sick Days: The Direct Organizational Fiscal Benefits of UV-C Protection – Feb 2022
Sick leave is an important and necessary component of employee management. While illness is an unfortunate reality of life, the costs of sick leave are multifold, ranging from sick paid leave to the opportunity costs of lost productivity. Here, we discuss the utility of UV-C protection in reducing pathogenic particle load to help combat one causative element of illness.
