Is Absenteeism and Turnover Your Number One Problem? It May Be A Symptom of Other Problems We track the reason people visit this web site to determine the issues of most interest to you our clients, prospects and friends. Overwhelmingly, the number one reason people come here is to find out information about managing absenteeism and turnover. Most organizations approach to absenteeism ( point systems, no-fault systems, reward systems) result in spotty, temporary improvements at best and are harmful at worst. Many of these policies teach some employees how to play the system so they are always just on this side of termination. Others, who were otherwise excellent employees, have been terminated because policy dictated it. Productivity continues to suffer because there aren't enough people to cover the work assignments. There's no argument that high rates of absenteeism and turnover are the biggest problems that American business faces today, worsened by lower unemployment rates. To make things even more complicated, most companies greatly underestimate the cost of both their absenteeism and turnover. Not only are the direct costs monumental but the indirect and hidden costs can be the difference between profit and loss or being able to maintain the operating budget. The solution to this problem is simple but revolutionary. It requires a dramatic paradigm shift. Effective absenteeism results in a cultural change by requiring companies to reject old paradigms and explore a new philosophy that says the way employees are managed may be a more significant factor in controlling absenteeism and turnover rates than any policy that rewards or punishes it. Crystal Clear Concepts' Absenteeism Management Program results in a culture change by requiring companies to reject old paradigms and explore a new paradigm that will solve the problem of absenteeism. Work Is An Element of Self-Esteem The very core of the new absenteeism philosophy is the concept that working is a crucial element of self-esteem. Most employees don't miss work because they are lazy and don't want to come to work. They find satisfaction in working. In reality, most absenteeism is a symptom of other problem(s). Contrary to most policies, which concentrate on just absenteeism, itself, with tougher penalties for poor attendance or rewards for good attendance, this philosophy treats absenteeism as an indicator of underlying problems that create absenteeism. These problems must be solved to improve attendance which automatically improves quality, productivity and profit. Program Benefits It is extraordinarily difficult for managers to comprehend that their management style, working conditions, employees' relationships with one another or personal problems could impact negatively or positively on attendance.
