Absenteeism
Employees who are absent from work without a valid reason or proper authorization are said to engage in absenteeism. When employees miss their scheduled work hours, it can have a negative impact on business operations, increase workload for other team members, and disrupt productivity. Both planned absences, such as vacations or personal days, and unplanned absences, such as those caused by illness, emergencies, or other circumstances, are examples of absenteeism.
To comprehend patterns, identify trends, and address any concerns, employers track and monitor absenteeism. There are a variety of underlying factors that can contribute to excessive absenteeism, such as a lack of work-life balance, health issues, personal issues, low morale, or low job satisfaction. Managers must separate between certified nonappearances and those that are avoidable or outlandish.
