Employees miss work from time to time due to different reasons, including being sick or even unplanned absences, and that&#8217;s how it should be. It&#8217;s unrealistic to expect them to report to work every day of the year. However, <strong>if they have a pattern of arriving late or entirely missing pieces, it can negatively impact the company&#8217;s productivity.<\/strong> Organizing the company&#8217;s daily operations and foreseeing changes that can happen requires knowing your employees and the reasons behind their absences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Learning how to calculate your company&#8217;s absence rate or to be able to measure absenteeism will help you make decisions<\/strong> and create policies that prevent absenteeism in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n<div

href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2023\/02\/what-the-most-productive-companies-do-differently\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">company&#8217;s productivity<\/a> and can become a significant stress for the HR team. That&#8217;s why it makes sense from a business perspective to find a way to track it and a clear indication of making it a KPI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/beebole.com\/blog\/calculate-employee-absence-rate\/\">The absenteeism metric<\/a> determines the frequency of unexcused or unscheduled absences brought on by illness or other factors.<\/strong> The rate can be calculated for an individual, a group, or the entire organization. The result provides details on individual performance and the overall company&#8217;s health. This indicator can help you prepare for potential absences in the future or create a business strategy that prevents them. Additionally, <a href=\"https:\/\/beebole.com\/blog\/cost-absenteeism-presenteeism\/\">presenteeism,<\/a> which is part of time and attendance, is a vital metric that companies should consider as the cost is much higher in that case; however, measuring it is challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HR managers can use the average work-hour value to determine the main absenteeism KPI. This will demonstrate <strong>the financial impact of absenteeism on the organization. Plus, this makes it easier to develop a budget for a preventative approach.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"work-absences-explained\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The different types of work absences explained<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Excused work absences (not absenteeism)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Excused work absences refer to unexpected absences that are valid and hence likely to be allowed by the employer. They may include personal, or family leave, sudden sickness, or planned short term absences. Absences like these <strong>translate into absenteeism once they become extended or repeatedly happen by a person without a good reason<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best absences in real life are those planned, like holidays, vacations, planned training, planned sick days, or absences like post-surgery recovery or paternity and maternity leave. <strong>These are not absenteeism because they are not routine or taken without justification. <\/strong>On the contrary, they are entirely acceptable and less challenging to prepare for. This means they have little impact on productivity as they are part of work life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unexcused work absences (absenteeism)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Absenteeism is typically described as a pattern of unjustified, repeated absent days or becoming sick often<\/strong>. However, most individuals are unaware that absenteeism also encompasses partial absences like lateness, extended lunches, and early departures. The main problem with absenteeism is that it lacks legitimacy. Therefore, any recurring or protracted absence rate without a valid excuse, whether announced or unannounced, is considered absenteeism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div\n    class=\"montserrat-font my-5 mx-auto p-4 p-lg-5 bbl_customer_story_blurb\"\n  style=\"background-image:url('https:\/\/beebole.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/sage\/public\/images\/block-csb-bk.18ecf3.png')\"\n>\n  <div class=\"position-relative\">\n    \n    <div class=\"bbl-csb-text\">\n      <p>For most teams, tracking absences and availability is just as critical as logging project hours.

Including an HR analytics platform in contemporary interactive dashboards makes combining data from many systems easier and enables in-depth data analysis within the dashboard. With this tool, <strong>HR teams can gather the information that will help them manage the workplace better<\/strong>. <strong>They could improve recruiting, better employee performance and gather accurate knowledge to make better decisions based on the calculated metrics.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HR executives need easy access to all important KPIs in one location to evaluate and analyze data quickly. An excellent executive dashboard should show high-level indicators like employees&#8217; roles and locations and vital metrics related to productivity, training, performance, compensation, absence, and other demographics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-calculate-and-report-absenteeism-KPIs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to calculate and report absenteeism KPIs on the dashboard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Calculating absenteeism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The formula for calculating employee absenteeism is relatively simple. To calculate the percentage of absenteeism over a period, multiply the number of unexcused absences in that period by the total period, and divide the result by 100.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"mb-4 featured_list-block\"><div class=\"featured_list-blockcontent p-4 rounded-4\" style=\"background-color: #6676D6; color: #ffffff\"><div class=\"featured_list-head d-flex align-items-center mb-3\"><span class=\"featured_list-image me-3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Absenteeism formula\" src=\"https:\/\/beebole.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/sage\/public\/images\/footer-logo-w.d162cc.svg\" alt=\"Absenteeism formula:\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\"><\/span><h4 class=\"featured_list-question mb-0 mt-0\"> Absenteeism formula:<\/h4><\/div><span class=\"featured_list-text\">Absenteeism formula ((total number of unexcused absences)\/number of available working days in given period) x 100 = % of Absenteeism<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There could always be a possibility to add excused work absences while calculating the absenteeism. <strong>However, it is always beneficial to separate these two absences to get more real insights. <\/strong>Considering the available working days would justify the accuracy of the calculation, where we usually deduct the weekends, public holidays, and voluntary days off. The most important thing about calculating the absenteeism rate is how quickly one can identify the patterns and trends that lead to absenteeism. Then, more effectively recognize those patterns and trends using additional absenteeism rate formulas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, apart from the absenteeism rate, it\u2019s also <strong>important to calculate additional measurements like frequency, the severity of the absences, inactivity rate, or incidence rate. <\/strong>Table 1 shows a few examples.

This is a valuable method for identifying areas of excessive absenteeism within the company, which can help develop effective solutions. <strong>Metrics like the frequency of absence reporting, working days, the average number of days missed per absence, and zero absences, amongst others, are frequently included in absence reporting.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The average <a href=\"https:\/\/beebole.com\/blog\/cost-absenteeism-presenteeism\/\">cost of absenteeism in the workplace is very high globally, along with presenteeism<\/a>. However, it can only sometimes consider the indirect cost that accounts for reduced productivity, low morale, and taking disciplinary actions by management and replacements. The absenteeism cost itself is estimated at around $470 billion in the European Union, according to the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions. Compared to that, it&#8217;s around $225.8 billion in the US, as per The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These high numbers are why absenteeism reporting is so essential for companies today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start with the basics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Employers should start with basic reporting in the beginning.

The high and low rates in 2020-2021 are around 2.61% and 1.89%, respectively, much lower than the data five years ago. In 2017-2018 these high and low rates were 3.02% and 1.40%, respectively. This benchmarking helps to understand good absenteeism, especially in current conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, these numbers will vary from other regions based on different demographic factors like age, occupation, and industries. For example, the transportation &amp; utilities, wholesale &amp; retail trade, and leisure &amp; hospital industries are among the highest absenteeism rates (3.38%-1.90%). While financial and professional &amp; business services industries have the lowest absenteeism rates (3.28%-1.14%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a65880b5245f&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a65880b5245f\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"405\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/beebole.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/health-related-workplace-absenteeism-rate-700x405.png\" alt=\"Workplace absenteeism rates to keep in mind when deciding your own organizations&#039; workplace absenteeism KPIs and rates\" class=\"wp-image-10283\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beebole.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/health-related-workplace-absenteeism-rate-700x405.png 700w, https:\/\/beebole.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/health-related-workplace-absenteeism-rate-768x444.png 768w, https:\/\/beebole.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/health-related-workplace-absenteeism-rate.png 1215w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Figure 1: Health-related Workplace Absenteeism* among Full-time Workers+ in the United States, 2020-2021 and Selected Previous Seasons as published by the (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/niosh\/topics\/absences\/default.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a>).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visualize absenteeism KPIs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beebole.com\/blog\/finance-controller-kpis\/\">Key performance indicators<\/a> can measure the HR department&#8217;s success in accomplishing a goal and help deal with current challenges. <strong>They are quantifiable performance measurements that help you understand whether the department or organization is on track because they are tailored to your specific goals and objectives. <\/strong>The KPIs in an HR executive dashboard may differ because it depends on specific goals. For example, if the primary goal is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tlnt.com\/articles\/why-they-stay-or-why-they-go-the-keys-to-good-employee-retention\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">increase retention<\/a>, one would want to measure employee satisfaction, voluntary turnover rate, and retention rates per manager. On the other hand, one may focus on the employee absenteeism rate and calculate the absence rate or productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A well-visualized HR executive dashboard must have the option to show KPIs from different areas based on the goals<\/strong>. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s essential to define suitable KPIs. For example, Figure 2 shows a few critical absenteeism KPIs from an HR executive dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a65880b5268c&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a65880b5268c\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"305\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/beebole.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/HR-executive-dashboard-showing-absenteeim-KPIs-700x305.png\" alt=\"An example of what an HR executive dashboard filled with workplace absenteeism KPIs could look like\" class=\"wp-image-10284\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beebole.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/HR-executive-dashboard-showing-absenteeim-KPIs-700x305.png 700w, https:\/\/beebole.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/HR-executive-dashboard-showing-absenteeim-KPIs-768x334.png 768w, https:\/\/beebole.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/HR-executive-dashboard-showing-absenteeim-KPIs-1536x668.png 1536w, https:\/\/beebole.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/HR-executive-dashboard-showing-absenteeim-KPIs.png 1999w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Figure 2: An example of a HR executive dashboard on Absenteeism KPIs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"benefits-of-using-HR-executive-dashboards\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">6 benefits of using HR executive dashboards to manage absenteeism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Increase data comprehension:<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The right indicators alone are not enough, mainly if the data is poorly used or not used. This is where data storytelling and visualization are helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dashboards that concentrate information make it easier to analyze accurate data.<\/strong> <strong>This enables you to use the data to construct a story and pinpoint the precise cause of a phenomenon.<\/strong> These HR dashboards make exploring the reasons behind absence easier and help identify the most impacted workers. They are also beneficial in problem-solving and decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your dashboard needs to be segmented so that it can be read and understood by everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Enhance cause-based segmentation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dashboard not only allows tracking the primary reason for absences within a specific period, but it also allows tracking the evolution of absence rate over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like Table 1 above, you can quickly determine if a rise in absences is caused by things like maternity leave or workplace accidents. However, the analyses can be more precise, for example, by measuring absenteeism brought on by the illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Concentrate on socio-professional groups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Absenteeism rates according to socio-professional categories can be evaluated using a filter for a specific period. This can rapidly show if managers, employees, or maintenance personnel have the most absences and the reasons why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Track the frequency and seriousness of absences <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The visualization from the dashboard helps HR managers monitor the frequency and severity of absenteeism. The age and other demographics of workers in each socio-professional group can be examined further. Depending on the activity, you may also choose the length (short\/long) of absences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Manage absences over a long period<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tool allows stakeholders to see how absenteeism has evolved in the organization over time. They can then assess the impact of policies that address the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Compare the overall industry with your company <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Positioning yourself concerning your industry can provide you with a thorough understanding of the state of the market. It can also be an excellent approach to learning what is or isn&#8217;t working from your competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"example-executive-HR-dashboard\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Executive HR dashboard: an example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to building an executive HR dashboard, you&#8217;ll need to decide what metrics matter most to your team. As proven in this article, absenteeism rates provide insight into your team&#8217;s productivity, motivation, and performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s a great example of an executive HR dashboard created in Microsoft Excel. This dashboard does a great job at making metrics like absence rate, absence cost, engagement index, and turnover rate easy to gauge at a glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a65880b52a83&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a65880b52a83\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"329\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/beebole.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/hr-kpi-scorecard-excel-template-700x329.png\" alt=\"Example absenteeism dashboard for HR\" class=\"wp-image-12509\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beebole.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/hr-kpi-scorecard-excel-template-700x329.png 700w, https:\/\/beebole.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/hr-kpi-scorecard-excel-template-768x361.png 768w, https:\/\/beebole.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/hr-kpi-scorecard-excel-template.png 860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/excelkid.com\/hr-kpi-scorecard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ExcelKid<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can learn more about this specific dashboard <a href=\"https:\/\/excelkid.com\/hr-kpi-scorecard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.

need absenteeism KPIs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>An executive HR dashboard is becoming a vital business intelligence instrument <\/strong>that allows HR teams to follow, analyze and report the entire business on HR KPIs, which helps leaders make decisions to create a better working environment and maximize employee productivity. Therefore,<strong> choosing the proper KPIs is significant for the HR team to gain an immersive advantage of using such an executive HR dashboard. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we consider a healthy and high-productivity working environment, the absenteeism rate could be the most important thing, as it associates with employee engagement and job satisfaction for both full time employees and part time employees. This makes it automatically an important KPI for the executive HR dashboard and can add several benefits. In addition, for any business, absenteeism can reduce profit margins by spending more on overtime pay and contracting workers to deal with absenteeism.
