As an HR/arbo professional or HR analyst, you have an important job when it comes to absenteeism data. These figures give you a lot of information about absenteeism behavior and help you prevent and reduce absenteeism. Working with absence data often seems simple; after all, we all know the terms absence rate and reporting frequency. With this knowledge everyone should be able to work easily, right?In practice, this is easier said than done. Absenteeism figures are sometimes unclear, definitions are explained differently and figures from different systems are not always the same. Managers keep asking for more insights and take (too) little action. In this master class you will learn, using theory, exercises and practical cases, how to use absence data effectively within your organization.
Absenteeism Data in Action
Absenteeism is not just a number on a report; it is a window into the health of your organization. A thoughtful approach to absenteeism leads to higher productivity and more motivated teams. Proactively addressing absenteeism contributes to a positive work culture and increases your employees' satisfaction. Finally, by effectively managing absenteeism, your organization can reduce costs and ensure financial health.
Register now for our Masterclass “Getting Started with Absenteeism Data” and develop the skills needed to not only understand, but effectively manage absenteeism.
