Employee Absence Management in Modern Organization

Abstract

Recent years have resulted in modernizing the organization of work, and development of management methods aimed at looking for opportunities to unleash the inherent potential of the people. It is worth mentioning that a very important new area of research was developed—managing employee absences. Employers are often calculating the cost of employee absence and they take specific actions to implement the prevention program. The aim of this paper is to present, based on the analysis of literature, solutions targeted on effectively managing employee absences. Considerations have been divided into three parts. The first part focuses on defining the term “absence”. The second part is about analysis of the costs faced by the organization. The third part is devoted to ways of reducing the level of absences from work.
