Absence Management
If employee absenteeism is starting to have a material effect on your bottom line, you’re not alone. The 2007 CCH Unscheduled Absence Survey conducted for CCH by Harris Interactive® found that the nation's largest employers estimate that unscheduled absenteeism costs their businesses more than $760,000 per year in direct payroll costs, and even more when lower productivity, lost revenue and the effects of poor morale are considered.
A recent study shows that the cost of absence can equal as much as 36% of payroll. And still another survey by Hewitt Associates reported that on average eight in every 100 of their employees experienced a leave of absence in a given year, with the average absence lasting 42 days. For an employer with 20,000 employees, that translates into almost $13 million in lost productivity, Hewitt estimates.
