By far the number one thing any employer I've worked for has done to reduce my number of sick days and visits to the doctor/pharmacy was remote work. Offices and gathering large numbers of people from over a wide area into a confined space by its nature is a vector for spreading infections. This is before even getting into issues like what a stressful commute does to the body and how it limits one's time that could, though not necessarily will, be used for healthier activities. But just the elimination of picking up colds, flus, and other infections from the office has had a significant impact on the number of sick days I've used. There also have been times when I was sick but not too sick to be productive. In the past I would have had to consider if using up a sick day and having no productivity was a good trade-off for not going into the office and possibly infecting others.
