Combat the Growing Problem
Reasons and Resolutions for Absenteeism
2
Reason:Lack of Commitment
• Employees are simply not interested in their
work or concerned about the success of the
organization
• Stems from low employee morale, which is caused
by many things:
• Poor treatment by management
• Unpleasant working environment
3
Reason:Lack of Consequences
• No incentives for strong attendance
• No punishments for poor attendance
• Employee packages that allow for a lot of
absences can lead to workers abusing this
4
Reason:Poor Working Conditions
• Poor treatment from managers
• Unpleasant or stressful working environment
• Lack of breaks
• Too much strict supervision
• Excessive workload
5
Reason:Honest Excuses
• Personal problems
• Car trouble
• Illness
• Although there is a fair bit of absenteeism that
could have been avoided, employees are often
away from work for valid reasons
6
• Consider building “personal days” into
employee packages
• Make employees feel comfortable enough to be
honest about reasoning behind absences
• Implementing a flextime system can help
achieve this balance
Resolution:Work-Life Balance
7
• Sit down with employees when they return from
an absence to discuss:
• Reason for absence
• If absence could have been prevented
• The implications of absenteeism on the company (*if
it is a common occurrence for this employee*)
Resolution:Follow-ups
8
Resolution:Consequences
• Have positive and negative consequences for
strong and weak attendance:
• Offer rewards and incentives for strong attendance:
• Monetary bonuses
• Simple praise and recognition
• “Employee of the Month”
• Punish employees with poor records and unexcused
absences
9
• Install a system to automatically track employee
time and attendance, in order to:
• Reduce administrative work
• Allow employees to book time off and managers to
approve requests online
• Calculate who is eligible for overtime
• Create fair schedules
Resolution:Automation
