Nature and impact of the staff absenteeism
on employees and their organization
 The rate of staff absenteeism reduces as the pay day comes
and it increases just after the employees are being paid. Such
behaviour of the employees within the Mid Cheshire
Hospitals NHS Foundation hinders the day to day functioning
of the hospital.
 It has been observed that the rate of staff absenteeism in the
night shifts of the hospital is much higher than the day shifts.
This abrupt the routine of the hospital and leads to
mismanagement as there is no employee that wants be
available for the night shift in the hospital.
