Long term illness | Staff shouldn't fear being sacked if they're ill - so what can HR do to manage that?

Emilia Clarke has told Vogue in an interview 'I wasn't afraid of dying. I was afraid of being fired!' when she was hospitalised during filming for Game of Thrones.

Clarke shared that 'If I'm being brutally honest, the whole thing made me feel very ashamed. Like I was broken. As though the producers must think I'm an unreliable person that they've hired.'

She's best known for her role Daenerys Targaryen in the highly popular HBO television series Game of Thrones, and also for playing Lou Clark starred in rom com Me Before You, in 2016, based on the novel of the same name by Jojo Moyes.

One thing's for sure, it might come as a surprise to hear she worried about being fired!
