Avoiding Absenteeism (Part I)
Absenteeism is not being on the job during regular working hours. Absenteeism causes a hardship on fellow employees. It interrupts production. It can be caused by many reasons: 1) personal health, 2) personal business, 3) death in the family, 4) accident, or 5) not wanting to go to work on a certain day.
Absentee records kept over long periods of time show that the employees who progress in their jobs are those who, in most cases, were on their jobs.
