Preventing and managing absenteeism: a major challenge for companies
Absenteeism, which has been exacerbated since the health crisis, has a direct impact on companies’ performances. It is a major economic and social issue. If companies are to rein in absenteeism and mitigate its effects, they must first identify and understand its root causes so that they can take the appropriate action.
The health crisis, lockdown, working from home and the feeling of isolation that many workers experienced have highlighted new sources of absenteeism. Whatever these causes, its economic consequences on the company’s direct and indirect costs are clear. Companies therefore need to ask themselves various questions to uncover the root causes and bring in the right solutions. But to do so, they must have support and guidance. This is where Verlingue steps in!
Absenteeism and teleworking
Teleworking took off during the health crisis, laying the groundwork for a new organisation of work. For some workers, it was a source of wellbeing because it shortened travelling times, while for others, it brought isolation or even psychosocial disorders. It is a reflection of the far-reaching changes in progress in the ways we work. Human Resources Departments must pay attention to the new balances it imposes. Our experts are by your side to advise you over and above the insurance programmes and introduce the appropriate prevention plans.
