Why Are Absences Increasing in Your Workplace?
When employees feel disconnected, undervalued, or unappreciated, morale declines, and they are less likely to show up. Low morale is a key leading indicator to increased absenteeism.
Employees who are overworked or constantly stressed are more likely to take unplanned absences. Burnout leads to physical and mental exhaustion. Employees take unscheduled time off to recover.
When employees are unhappy with their roles or work environment, they are less likely to show up consistently and less productive when they do. Job dissatisfaction and a poor or toxic workplace culture are leading indicators for higher absenteeism and tardiness. Absenteeism rises as employees seek to recover from the rising stress and toxicity at work.
The Impact of High Absenteeism
Decreased Productivity
Unplanned absences lead to missed deadlines, delays, and a decrease in overall productivity.
Increased Stress on Remaining Employees
When team members frequently call in sick or arrive late, the workload shifts to those who are present, which can lead to burnout and disengagement in others.
Higher Costs
Increased absenteeism often means hiring temporary workers or paying overtime, raising operational costs significantly.
