Absenteeism

Absenteeism refers to the habitual pattern of an employee being absent from work, beyond what is considered reasonable or acceptable, without valid reasons such as approved leave or illness.

In the Australian workplace, absenteeism can have significant impacts on productivity, workplace morale, and operational costs.

Common causes of absenteeism include stress, illness, workplace dissatisfaction, or personal issues.

Managing absenteeism effectively involves promoting a positive work environment, ensuring proper health and safety measures, and providing support for employees dealing with challenges.

Addressing absenteeism is crucial for maintaining a healthy and efficient workforce.
