Did you know on average an employee is absent for 11.6 days per year in Canada? Absenteeism is a term used to describe absences at the workplace that are avoidable, habitual, and unscheduled. Such untimely absences disrupt operations, work schedules, and output. Ultimately, they end up being costly to organizations and the economy as a whole. Most organizations opt for certain policies and procedures to reduce employee absenteeism. This process is called absence management.
Why do we need absence management?
Don’t you feel frustrated when one of your co-workers calls in sick at the last moment? Having to do their work too adds to your deliverables and makes the day extremely hectic. These situations often burden employees with extra responsibilities to fill in for absent coworkers. But what can you really say to someone who’s feeling unwell or has suffered an injury, right? Such reasons make it difficult for managers to monitor and reduce absenteeism. This is why we need a framework to regulate employee absenteeism and manage their attendance. Oracle’s PeopleSoft has solutions to these problems.
