Abstract

Absenteeism is a serious workplace problem and an expensive occurrence for both employers and employees seemingly unpredictable in nature. Human resource is an important part of any business and managing them is an important task. Absenteeism is an employee's intentional or habitual absence from work. If employers fail to take action, a 'buggins turn' mentality may emerge. While employers expect workers to miss a certain number of workdays each year, excessive absences can equate to decreased productivity and can have a major effect on company finances, morale and other factors. Here, is this case we look at the causes of absenteeism identified at a manufacturing company and what employers can do to reduce absenteeism rates in the workplace.The case provides insights into and comprehension of an issue or situation.
