We revealed in a blog last week that Acas has urged UK employers to communicate leave and absence management policies for the 2012 London Olympic Games now, in order to reduce the risk of unauthorised absence next year.
The employment relations service’s concerns have been borne out by research conducted by Badenoch & Clark.
The recruitment consultants questioned 1,000 office workers about next year’s Olympic Games and one in six (15.7%) admitted they would consider taking a sickie to watch Olympic events.
By using LeaveMaster in conjunction with the Bradford Factor, you can identify staff members who habitually take sickies and deter unwarranted absenteeism.
