Preventing and managing absenteeism: a major challenge for companies
Absenteeism, which has been exacerbated since the health crisis, has a direct impact on companies’ performances. It is a major economic and social issue. If companies are to rein in absenteeism and mitigate its effects, they must first identify and understand its root causes so that they can take the appropriate action.
The health crisis, lockdown, working from home and the feeling of isolation that many workers experienced have highlighted new sources of absenteeism. Whatever these causes, its economic consequences on the company’s direct and indirect costs are clear. Companies therefore need to ask themselves various questions to uncover the root causes and bring in the right solutions. But to do so, they must have support and guidance. This is where Verlingue steps in!
The Verlingue Absenteeism Barometer
Absenteeism at work has become a major issue for the French economy. And within companies, it is a key indicator of the health of the organization and the social climate. Several recent and converging studies estimate its cost at more than €100 billion, due to the invisible costs associated with lost production.
Given the scale of the phenomenon and the challenges it poses, both for society and for
businesses, understanding the components and causes of absenteeism is now essential.
