Managing Absenteeism in the Workplace
Developing strategies to manage absenteeism effectively helps to maintain productivity within the work environment. First understand the difference between excused and habitual absences, and the importance of clear communication and documentation. Address common causes such as burnout, illness, and dissatisfaction through supportive policies and employee recognition programs. Implement an official attendance policy to ensure consistency and fairness. Upon an employee's return, set clear attendance expectations and provide feedback.
