Many managers assume that when a worker takes a "duvet" or "mental health" day it is because they are simply being lazy or not committed to their job. But it may in fact be a warning signal that they are working too hard or in the midst of a family or relationship crisis.
A survey of more than 1,000 U.S workers by Chicago-based employee assistance programmes provider ComPsych has found that most workers who take an unplanned day off when they are not physically ill are doing so because they need to re-energise themselves and regroup mentally.
