Poor employee attendance and timekeeping problems can cost your organisation money and it comes straight off your profits. A recent CBIO survey shows that it costs on average £495 per employee across the entire UK workforce. As all organisations begin to focus on reducing expenditure, this is an obvious place to start. You need to employ more staff and pay more overtime, not to mention the costs of sick pay and health insurance premiums. Then there's the cost of your time and those of your colleagues organising cover for the absentees and the cost of short term agency staff or for recruiting temporary staff. But even these costs pale into insignificance compared to the cost of losing a customer if they do not get their order on time and cancel or go elsewhere next time. Improving employee attendance and timekeeping will improve your profits. It is one area where the HR function can make a cast iron case for its contribution to the business.
