Any reasonable employer should expect regular attendance from employees. Sickness and family emergencies can and do happen. However, when unplanned absences impact the efficient operation of the business and become disruptive to other employees, it’s time to take action.
It may be just one or two employees who have irregular attendance, or absenteeism may be a problem for several employees in a work group. Some absences are within the control of the employee (culpable) and some are not (non-culpable). Either way, a clear and direct approach will often resolve the issue. For those who do not respond to reasonable expectations for attendance at work, further steps need to be taken.
If absenteeism is a business problem, your new human resources policy and plan will produce immediate, measurable results. Cruise HR Solutions will tailor this attendance policy and HR plan for your workplace, and work with your business leaders to implement it.
