Do you have an absenteeism problem?

Collecting data on the patterns of employee absence is essential to determining whether absenteeism is a problem in your workplace. Monitoring absence trends can assist you to:

• Identify if you have a problem with absence levels in your workplace
• Categorize the type of absence that usually occurs in your workplace, e.g. Monday ‘sickies’ or cases of longer-term sickness, and
• Highlight patterns in employee absence levels, e.g. are absence levels higher in one particular team or at a specific time of year?
