LMU flu days

I heard last night on the news that LMU or Lincoln Memorial University was giving their staff 7 extra sick days in addition to the ones they already have just in case they are diagnosed with H1N1 or the regular seasonal flu to encourage them to STAY HOME AND NOT CONTAMINATE EVERYONE ELSE!! They didn't want them to come sick so they wouldn't use all their sick time and then and then not have anymore left for the rest of the year. If every other employer would do similiar things then it would make the virus not spread quite so much.
I think if you take care of your employees like that and give them a reason to work hard and long for you, they will. Do you work for free? Do you as an employer want your employees to have your back and do their best? If everyone put theirself in someone elses shoes for just a few minutes and took a long look at how we treat our employees, friends, nannies, babysitters, etc... I think we would have a few things to change, don't you?
