Absenteeism is a challenge for every HR department. An absenteeism policy is therefore a must. Using a project plan, you can interpret the policy based on your needs and goals. Our experts will help you with this.
Talk to an expertYour absenteeism approach is only successful if everyone in your organisation is behind it. Things often go wrong there. And this can be due to three reasons:
HR is often alone when it comes to absenteeism. Even though managers are closer to the employees. By involving managers, your absenteeism policy has more impact.
Thoroughly analysing absenteeism reports provides you with the necessary insights to build your absenteeism policy, and to accurately evaluate actions and adjust the policy if necessary.
Practice shows that people often do not know about or understand absenteeism agreements, which means they are handled carelessly. Managers sometimes see the agreements as an administrative burden rather than an aid. Crystal-clear absenteeism procedures put an end to this.
Despite all good intentions, absenteeism plans usually fail in the end. It doesn’t take long to find the reasons: HR employees are all too often alone in their ambitions, the real causes are rarely known, and after a while, absenteeism agreements are handled carelessly.
