在2024年,新西兰工人由于带薪休假延长和体外健康意识提高,增加了病假天数。 New Zealand workers took more sick days in 2024 due to expanded paid leave and post-Covid health awareness.

2024年,新西兰工人的平均病假日为6.7天,比往年有所增加,原因是2021年的政策将带薪病假延长至10天,以及社会主义后文化向优先考虑健康和预防疾病蔓延的方向转变。 New Zealand workers took an average of 6.7 sick days in 2024, a rise from previous years, driven by a 2021 policy expanding paid sick leave to 10 days and a cultural shift post-Covid toward prioritizing health and preventing illness spread. 公共部门的员工比私营部门的员工休假时间更长, 缺勤增加与照顾,心理健康和远程工作趋势有关. Public sector employees took more time off than private sector workers, and increased absences are linked to caregiving, mental health, and remote work trends. 虽然一些雇主对生产率表示关切,但专家认为,提高健康意识和改变政策,而不是滥用,才是原因所在。 While some employers express concern over productivity, experts attribute the rise to better health awareness and policy changes, not abuse.
