Time and attendance systems will help managers tackle low-productivity caused by sickness

Time and attendance systems that provide accurate insights and analytics into the employees’ attendance patterns can help improve overall productivity for UK firms, which are currently losing 27.5 days of productive work per employee each year, because of poor health, according to a recent research report.

The paper from Britain’s Healthiest Workplace (BHW) also suggests employee absence and presenteeism is a problem that is costing the UK economy £73 billion a year.

Commenting on the findings, Adrian Lewis, Director of Activ Absence said,
“Businesses in the UK are losing almost a month’s productivity due to employee absenteeism and presenteeism every year, which is a startling statistic.

“In our experience, absenteeism is exacerbated by poor absence management practices, and too many companies are still failing to track absence management and in the dark about the extent of their absence issues, unable to identity and address issues early on.”

“Using absence management software alongside best HR practices is the only way employers can manage absence effectively with an evidence-led approach to both staff management and wellness initiatives. People spend a great deal of time at work and employers are in a unique position to tackle these risk factors and develop appropriate wellbeing strategies that will encourage employees to become healthier, happier and more engaged.”
