Absence it is said makes the heart grow fonder. But, when an employee absents himself or herself this is definitely not going to be the case. Absence of employees causes the loss of millions of dollars to the economy. Millions of work days are also lost as a result of employee absence.
Absence is genuine in two third of the cases while the others just do it for non-genuine reasons. While employee abstention cannot be prevented according to management training programs and management training courses, there should be an effective mechanism to deal with the absence. Therefore there is scope for organizations to improve their attendance. But, how to go about it, is another matter altogether.
