It
is really difficult to handle employees within an organization- keep them happy
in terms of compensation, manage their tantrums, their personal grievances,
etc. etc…phew..!!! That constitutes a wholesome job for poor HR professionals!
Employee
attendance is another critical aspect that needs attention to keep absenteeism
at bay. Consecutive absenteeism and late coming to office will eventually drop
employee productivity as well as pile up work and lead to procrastination. In
fact, when an employee takes an unexpected leave, whole team’s work suffers as
current work culture moves on a collaborative approach and all the tasks are
inter-related, if one delays the tasks, entire project gets delayed.
More
often, the basic reason for employee turnover in organizations is non-availability
of enough leaves or employee getting warnings for being irregular. Moreover,
sometimes, if the leaves are not managed properly than those who have a habit
of taking leave, keep taking leaves while those who are regular, keep coming in
and facing that entire work burden that is piled up by those absentees.
Furthermore, many important tasks and strategy making gets delayed as team members
are absent from important team meetings. On the whole, it creates a mammoth trouble
for organization if handled improperly.
Proper Leave and Attendance Management System must be incorporated within the set-up
to make the process of taking leave transparent and the employees should also
see how many leaves they have taken as well as supervisors are aware about
those who are regular and who are irregular. This will bring a discipline among
employees as well to maintain regularity at WORK.
