No one is an exception to life's curveballs. Things happen. Sometimes they're unavoidable. Sometimes they're the result of poor planning. But when Brian can't make it to work because the same relative died, for the third or fourth time, red flags go up.
One employer has spent the past forty-five years observing workforce activity and collected its common trends and tactics for missing work. A company's human capital is an invaluable resource. Employers, middle managers, and business owners know that the lack of return on investment, or revenue loss, resulting from employee absenteeism is hard math; however, the more subjective factor of workforce morale is less calculable-but no less important. It can be difficult to decipher when an employee is playing hooky or telling the truth, but it is more important to be aware of the larger working environment as a potential cause for poor attendance.
Whether hotel-housekeeper Bertha would rather play bingo than dress beds, or Butch would rather extend his stay in Las Vegas than make his shift at the sporting goods store, this list is an informative and hilarious reminder that human nature is perhaps the largest factor when strategizing ways to maintain a profitable workforce.
