| A Longer Commute Leads to More Absenteeism |
| Workers with a 50 kilometer one-way commute can be expected to miss 15% more days from work, on average, than their colleagues who commute 10 kilometers, according to a study of workers in Germany by Jos N. van Ommeren and Eva Gutiérrez-i-Puigarnau of VU University in Amsterdam. Commuting distance is usually assumed to affect only employees, not businesses, but the study shows that it also has a strong impact on absenteeism, the researchers say. |
