Absenteeism

Absenteeism is when an employee is continually absent from work. This does not count days off for annual leave or sick leave. Vacation time is offered if requested in advance, and sick days can be used in an emergency. Absenteeism can indicate potential underlying issues such as low job satisfaction, workplace stress, or personal challenges, impacting overall productivity and team morale. Effective management strategies can help mitigate its effects and support employee well-being.
