Some organisations have extremely high levels of absence. a) Why is it important to proactively
manage this? b) What might be included in a procedural document?
Absenteeism refers to a habitual pattern of an individual being absence from the duty order
obligation without any good reason. It is usually said to be unplanned. This is often used as an
indicator to poor performance of an individual as well as it is often said to be a breach of implicit
contact between employer and the employee. There can be a number of internal reasons in an
employer organisation for employees resulting in absenteeism. Some of those reasons are
discussed below:
Disengagement: It is often seen that employees who are not committed to their jobs or
surrounding or even the organisation is more likely to miss their work just because they do not
have any motivation to go to the work every day.
Unhealthy working conditions:
Changes: It is often seen that there are a number of changes brought in an organisation every
day. Many organisations do not take care of employees while bringing these changes. Due to
these changes employee feel lacking motivation and do not want to come to work which result in
absenteeism.
Management system: Many a times management system in an organisation fails to train and
develop the required skills and qualities in an employee. Due to this the employee feel
demotivated and the work done by them are also not effective. Due to this many employees
distrust management and leave the work some days without any proper reason.
Poor leadership: It is often seen that when working in a team employee are not satisfied with
their leaders. Also Leader selected by management I’m not able to work with employees
properly. Due to this employs avoid coming to the work and absenteeism in an organisation
increases.
Injuries or illness: it is often seen that there might be some medical appointments due to which
employee is forced to miss their work. Off and some accidents or injuries take place while in
work or in external environment which might affect employee physically resulting in
absenteeism by them.
Harassment: it is often noticed that many employs are bullied or harassed by their co-workers or
even their superiors. Due to this employ can you call it live in order to avoid this situation.

Stress, low morale: Many a times heavy workloads, stressed during work or presentations or
even being unnoticed and and appreciated for their good work demotivates employees. It
increases stress level in them which also results in depression or anxiety. In order to avoid the
situation many employees do not come to work which leads to absenteeism.
Lack of flexibility: it is often seen that there are a number of employees who give value to
flexibility and also, they tend to be a rebel. If they do not get flexibility in the organisation it is
unable for them to manage their schedules and work. Due to this employee purposely come late
or take breaks which are not a allotted by organisation. This results in a try for flexibility and
when not provided to employees they often miss their work resulting in absenteeism.
It is very important for organisations to manage absence as it is one of the high cost to
operational and financial term for the company. This is very important for all the companies that
they should adopt absence management system which is helpful for minimising absenteeism and
preventing it in effective manner. Absence can be managed in various ways. The organisational
culture has significant impact on absenteeism. In an organisation, the management will never
achieve absence at zero level because there are few people who get set and need time off. there
are various ways for monitoring absence and keeping and electronic records of all absence
information for analysing the performance. The absence manager should be hired by
organisations for managing the individuals who are getting more absent. the absence manager
process is involved in planning and planning absences which are taken by employees. This
manager has to take control over employees and they should be we asked for completing a form
in order to record their plant as well as unplanned absences. The plant absence will include
annual locations as well as medical appointments. On the other hand, there are various situations
in which employee has not plant to take time off and the system has to be able in managing the
reason why employee has taken leave. Companies have to implement a process for reporting and
unplanned absence. It is essential for each and every employee to contact managers immediately
if they are not able to attend work. They have to provide proper explanation and reason for not
attending office. All the employees have to follow this procedure regardless of their position in
company. When employee is incapable of calling, he must inform any other person to call on his
behalf to the manager so that proper action should be taken by owner. it is very important for
employees to make a phone call or send text message for not attending the office and providing a
valid reason. The role should be made within organisations that employees have to call for their
