Shared-air risk

A sick employee doesn't just lose a day; they underperform and they pass it on - in a shared space, that's how one case becomes a cluster.

The tail risk (outbreaks)

One Bad Day Can Be a Seven-Figure Problem

Most of the risk isn't the average sick day. It's the rare, severe event that lands on your P&L all at once.

What it means for your business (illustrative ROI)

The Order of Magnitude Favors You

A conservative, directional example - the kind of math that only gets stronger once you plug in your real numbers.

Avoided absenteeism
0
Illustrative: 20 staff at ~$30/hr loaded. Avoiding one full-day absence per employee per quarter is roughly $19,200/yr in avoided absenteeism alone.
Presenteeism
Several ×
Presenteeism at even 10% of payroll for a season is typically several multiples of that.
The recurring plan
A small fraction
A recurring air plan costs a small fraction of one avoided sick-day cluster - let alone one avoided outbreak.
Directional, conservative math - plug in your real numbers and it only gets stronger.
