As discussed in previous blogs this week, the Bradford Factor is a powerful tool for tackling absenteeism as it enables you to identify employees whose “little and often” absences are damaging your business and deters staff from taking unwarranted sick days.
But why should you get a leave management solution such as LeaveMaster to automatically-calculate the formula for you? Why not calculate it manually?
Calculating the ongoing Bradford Factor score for every employee in your organisation, either manually or using a spreadsheet, would be time-consuming, complicated and highly labour-intensive, with each employee’s score having to be re-calculated every time they called in sick.
To be effective as a deterrent and for the Bradford Factor statistics to be used in disciplinary hearings, the process for calculating the formula would also have to be fool-proof and the data indisputable. But if you were to mistakenly put the wrong number of episodes of absence into the equation, the exponential nature of the formula would mean that an employee’s Bradford Factor score could be doubled or even tripled, resulting in unwarranted disciplinary action against the employee and a loss in confidence in the system.
