Morning,
According to Wikipedia, the official definition and explanation of absenteeism, is as follows:
"Frequent absence from the workplace may be indicative of poor morale or of sick building syndrome. However, many employers have implemented absence policies which make no distinction between absences for genuine illness and absence for inappropriate reasons. One of these policies is the calculation of the Bradford Factor, which only takes the total number and frequency of absences into account, not the kind of absence. As a result, many employees feel obliged to come to work while ill, and transmit communicable diseases to their co-workers. This leads to even greater absenteeism and reduced productivity among other workers who try to work while ill. Work forces often do excuse absenteeism caused by medical reasons if the worker supplies a doctor's note or other form of documentation. Sometimes, however, in the workforce, people choose not to show up for work and do not call in advance, which most businesses find to be unprofessional and inconsiderate. This is called a no call, no show." (Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absenteeism).
However, according to recent studies by CAM Solutions, absenteeism rates seem to be declining due to the software, Absolv, and new benchmarking information put into place to manage absenteeism. To read this article, click here. To read all our other articles, click here.
