Absenteeism and punctuality issues can disrupt workflow and lower team morale.

Here’s how to address these effectively:

• Identify Patterns: Monitor for repeated absences around holidays or on specific days.
• Address Directly: Schedule a meeting early to discuss attendance issues and clarify expectations.
• Allow Explanation: Give employees a chance to share reasons for their absences, which can help you make fair decisions.
• Document Everything: Keep a record of discussions, actions, and decisions regarding attendance for future reference.

To prevent absenteeism and punctuality issues you can take these preventative steps:

• • Set Clear Policies: Define acceptable leave practices and expectations around tardiness.
  • Apply Policies Consistently: Fair and consistent enforcement of policies helps build trust and reduces misunderstandings.
