Jane Davies, former HR director of the Post Office, has claimed that chief executive Nick Read was so obsessed with getting a pay rise that his multiple requests and threats to resign dominated her work.
A poll conducted by HR, payroll, and finance specialists MHR found 71 per cent of employees admitted that they have worked while unwell because of the negative perception of calling in sick. The main concern is it will damage career progression, reported by nearly three quarters (74 per cent) of respondents.
