Solving the Presenteesim
Puzzle
August 12, 2008
Presenteesim – the problem of workers being on the job, but
because of illness or other medical conditions, not fully functioning
– can cut individual productivity by one third or more. In
fact, presenteesim appears to be a much costlier problem than its
counterpart, absenteeism. Unlike absenteeism, presenteesim is often
not apparent. You know when someone doesn’t show up to work,
but you can’t tell when – or how much – illness
or a medical condition hinders your employees’ performance.
You will learn strategies to root out this costly issue.
SPEAKER: Elizabeth Genovese, MD/MBA, Medical Director, IMX Medical
Management Services

PA since 1989 and prior to that spent 20 years in federal and state
government relations.

but not limited to, Panel of Providers and rights and duties, statutory
time lines such as the 21-day rule, 90-day rule, 120-day rule and

laws to help Managers/Supervisors handle many situations on their
own and recognize when to get help in the event a situation becomes
complex. By understanding the basics, your company can prevent costly
and time consuming litigation that can add additional stress to
