| Abstract: | The five basic elements of an effective absentee control program are discussed: maintaining detailed attendance records; determining reasons for absence; summarizing and analyzing attendance data; taking decisive actions to correct tthe problem; and providing quality leadership to employees. Traditional approaches to controlling absenteeism are discipline at progressive levels to punish excessive absences, and reward, in which various incentive systems are utilized to compensate employees for outstanding attendance. Arguments are presented, however, that reward-based approaches do not motivate chronic absentees. A comprehensive strategy is needed rather than relying on one or two methods to solve the problem. |
