Sickness and Business
Last Wednesday was 'World Phone In Sick Day', a day of protest against global capitalism, and perhaps a good excuse for staying in bed. It sounds harmless, but absenteeism is a major problem in business.
According to a recent survey, British employees had an average of 7.8 days off work for illness last year. That is a total of 192 million days or 3.4 per cent of total working time. The average cost of this absence per employee is £434. For the whole workforce, this represents a total of £10.7 billion for British business. Most absences are short-term (80 per cent) but long-term absence has a greater effect. It causes 40 per cent of total working time lost. An examination of the data reveals some interesting facts. There is a big difference in absenteeism from employer to employer
– from 4.6 day per employee in the best, to ten days in the worst. Sometimes this is because of the type of work, but company policy on absence is important as well. Men under 40 have half the absence rate of women under 40. Public service employees phone in sick more (average 10.3 days) than private sector employees (average 7.3 days).Trade union members report sick more often than non-union workers.
The report also compares what managers think are the top five causes of absence and what the employees actually say: How employees report absence: 1. Colds/flu; 2. Stomach problems/food poisoning; 3. Headaches/migraines; 4. Back problems; 5. Stress/emotional problems / personal problems. In managers own opinion:1. Colds/flu; 2. Stress/emotional problems / personal problems; 3. Monday morning blues/extending the weekend; 4. Low morale/boring job; 5. Childcare problems/family sickness.
If managers are right about the real reasons for employees taking time off, it shows us where perhaps employers can take positive action to reduce absenteeism.
