As part of the recent CIPD absence management survey UK employers were asked to rank the five most common causes of short term absence in their organisation.
The majority of employers stated that the main cause of short-term absence in their organisation was minor illnesses such as colds, flu, stomach upsets and headaches.
However, more than 20% of the surveyed employers claimed that non-genuine sickness absence ranked among the top five most common causes of absence in their company.
And the employers admitted that by addressing the problem of unwarranted sickness absence they could significantly improve productivity in their company.
By using LeaveMaster in conjunction with the Bradford Factor, you can identify employees who take non-genuine sick days and reduce the level of unwarranted absenteeism in your organisation.
