Picture this…you are a manager for a mid-sized hotel during peak season. It is a Sunday morning and three of your employees have called in sick today. This is the second time this month this has happened. What are you going to do? They are good at their jobs when they are there, but when they absent, pandemonium sets in. As you are trying to find replacements for the absent employees, all of a sudden you stop and wonder how much money their absenteeism is actually costing your company.
Well, your concerns are valid, and many managers do not know how to tackle the problem. Research has shown that excessive absenteeism may be a large expense for your company.

from the Academy to Innovate HR (AIHR) confirms your concerns. Read through AIHR’s research on the economic, productivity, and morale losses that can occur with absenteeism.
For this discussion activity, I’d like you to examine the effects of absenteeism in your workplace. If you are not currently working, consider a previous place of employment. Discuss with your classmates how employees who are excessively absent have a detrimental effect on the workplace. Also discuss the type of training program you would devise and implement to deal with this issue.
Please be sure to respond to your classmates by either commenting or making suggestions on how they can strengthen their training program so that it is much more effective in curbing the problem of excessive absenteeism.
