Calling in sick shouldn’t make you feel guilty. But let’s be real, so many of us stress about whether we sound “sick enough” or worry we’re letting the team down. Here’s the truth: Sick leave/ Personal leave exists for a reason. Resting protects you and prevents others from getting unwell. The right employer won’t make you feel bad for taking time to recover. We’ve put together a simple guide (including a script you can copy) so you can call in sick without the guilt. Want an employer who supports you when you need it most?

On International Men’s Day, we’re calling out an unspoken bias: men can feel judged just for asking about paid parental leave. This stigma hurts everyone. It puts pressure on men to hide their caregiving role, prevents them from forming meaningful bonds with their children, and reinforces the very gender gaps workplaces say they want to close. Across WORK180 Endorsed Employers, more dads are challenging this stigma by taking paid parental leave, working flexibly and stepping up to share caring responsibilities. When men are supported to take leave without fear, it creates healthier families, more equal partnerships and fairer workplaces. Read our article to meet some of the dads challenging parental leave stigma: https://lnkd.in/gTDbRxXt #InternationalMensDay #MensDay2025 #WORK180
