LOWELL, MASSACHUSETTS, UNITED STATES, February 7, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Whether they’re in it for the love of the game, the parties and the commercials, or celebrity sighting, millions may be planning to call out “sick” with the so-called “Flu” on Monday, February 12. Last year, 26.6 million employees – including managers – said they planned to miss work entirely, go in late, or be less productive the morning after the big game. The UKG Workforce Institute has been tracking this American phenomenon since 2005.

Chris Todd, CEO of HR and workforce management software provider UKG, shares what this year’s report revealed about the day after the Big Game work habits and how many workers plan to be sidelined by either faking an illness or ghosting their employers entirely. The report also found the top reasons people tune in, how late viewers plan to stay up, and the answer to the age-old debate – should Big Game Monday be a national holiday? Chris will also discuss how to avoid a spike in unplanned absences and share tips on how employers and employees can use the Big Game and other culture moments to help make their company a great place to work for all people.
