Fred Ashbury of Piceps Consultants is working with
some colleagues at the University of Wollongong (Australia) on an international
research project to design and implement an online survey. The survey focuses
on two issues. First, the survey measures the extent of workplace absenteeism
and presenteeism (i.e., being at work, but due to a health-related condition
are working at a level lower than usual). Secondly, it measures the unique
contributions of self-reported health conditions (e.g., diabetes, headache) and
non-health factors (e.g., work stress, work engagement, burnout) to the
occurrence of presenteeism and absenteeism.
It would be very helpful if you would take part in
the survey and forward this invitation to others in your groups (and ask them
to forward it to those in their networks as well). All information provided by
anyone who participates in the survey will be anonymous. All answers are
self-report, and because it is an online survey anyone can withdraw at any time
without consequence.
People who finish the survey have an opportunity to
register for a draw to win a free IPAD3. Three IPAD3s will be awarded. To register
for the draw the person needs to click on the link at the end of the survey
that launches them into a new and unrelated browser window to complete a brief
form that asks for their name and email address. This information is necessary
so the winners of the draw can be contacted and arrangements made for delivery
of the IPAD3. Please be assured that data on the registration form cannot be
associated with the survey data as they are completely separate activities.
Furthermore, only the project team members will know who completed the form to
enter the draw. The data from the online entry forms will be destroyed
following the draw to be held on June 30, 2012.
Your participation in this research project is very
much appreciated. Please also consider forwarding this invitation to those in
your LinkedIn network so we can optimize the number of completed surveys. To
enter the survey, please click on the link below. Thank you for participating
in the research project.
