30 Practical Exercises: Reducing Absenteeism
Absenteeism can cost a company more than just money. There is not only the lost productivity, but the lost morale of other employees, the time and hassle to cover their work.
Some absenteeism is genuine and unavoidable; the person is ill, or there has been a domestic crisis. Some absenteeism is unacceptable but may be due to work related circumstances that need to be resolved – harassment, bullying or stress. Some absenteeism is unacceptable in any circumstance. However, this is an area that managers often ignore, it is all brushed under the carpet as ‘sickness’.
