Workers are sick of Mondays...

It's Tuesday afternoon, and memories of getting up for work on a dark, miserable Monday morning are quickly fading (until next week, that is). Interesting stats published on http://www.healthandsafetyprofessional.co.uk/ today have revealed that workers are sick of Mondays, with one in three sick days taking place on the first day of the week. In addition, Mondays account for a startling 35 per cent of all sick days.

Human resource consultants Mercer looked at absence records for around 11,000 private sector workers and also found that MSDs account for nearly a quarter of all days lost to sickness.
