1 absenteeism
HRthe problem of employees taking short-term, unauthorized leave from work, resulting in lost productivity and increased costs. Absenteeism is usually sickness-related. Other causes may include a lack of motivation, domestic difficulties, or poor management. -
2 attendance
HRpresence at work, normally noted in an attendance register. The phenomenon of irregular attendance is referred to as absenteeism. One method of improving attendance is by paying an attendance bonus. -
3 job satisfaction
HRthe sense of fulfillment and pride felt by people who enjoy their work and do it well. Various factors influence job satisfaction, and our understanding of the significance of these stems in part from Frederick Herzberg. He called elements such as remuneration, working relationships, status, and job security “ hygiene factors” because they concern the context in which somebody works. Hygiene factors do not in themselves promote job satisfaction, but serve primarily to prevent job dissatisfaction. Motivators contribute to job satisfaction and include achievement, recognition, the work itself, responsibility, advancement, and growth. An absence of job satisfaction can lead to poor motivation, stress, absenteeism, and high labor turnover. -
4 occupational health
HRthe well-being of employees at work. An occupational health service is concerned with reacting to and preventing work-related illness and injury, and with maintaining and improving employees’ health. Occupational health may involve some or all of these elements: health screening, including preemployment screening (see health screening); monitoring compliance with health and safety legislation; health promotion activities; and initiating and maintaining health-related policies. There may be some overlap with employee assistance programs. An occupational health service strives to reduce absenteeism and improve employee morale and performance. -
5 presenteeism
HRan employee or organization subscribing to the view that the hours spent at work have more value than productivity or results. Presenteeism is often displayed by workaholics. At its most extreme, presenteeism can be seen in a worker who reports for work even when sick, for fear of letting the company down or of losing their job (slang).
