According to a report published by Bupa, HR staff are suffering from rising stress levels as a result of staff absenteeism.
Bupa surveyed 100 HR professionals for the report. Over 70% of those surveyed said that employee absenteeism in December would have implications for their HR team.
28% admitted that staff absence is causing rising stress levels amongst their HR staff, while 20% said they have to spend considerably more time than usual in December looking for freelancers and temporary staff to cover for absent employees.
However, more than 40% of the surveyed HR professionals said they believed their organisation experienced high absenteeism levels in December because of staff overindulgence or illness resulting from overindulgence, rather than because employees were genuinely sick.
You can reduce the level of unwarranted absenteeism in your organisation by using LeaveMaster in conjunction with the Bradford Factor.
