How can sickness and absence risk impact your company?

Leave from work comes in many forms – career’s, annual, personal leave, just to name a few. This paid time off work is just one way of showing you care for your employees’ welfare.

However, when your employees are using their leave entitlements, such as sick leave, for purposes that are not in line with what they are intended for, this can have a negative impact on your organisation and even indicate that they’re not content in their roles.

When not properly managed, employee absenteeism can become a serious threat to your business. Frequent, unscheduled and unauthorised days off affect productivity levels, the delivery of service and the overall morale of your company.

It can also have a negative impact on your bottom line. In fact, absenteeism is costing the Australian economy more than $44 billion every year - equating to $578 per worker per day of absence.

To mitigate sickness and absence risk from hurting your business, you must understand what motivates these kinds of unplanned absences and know how to deal with them.

Are your employees heading towards burnout?

The signs of burnout can creep up very quickly in employees when their physical, mental and emotional strengths are reaching close to exhaustion.

However, the effects of employee burnout are not just limited to their personal welfare alone. It can lead to significant complications like lower productivity levels, higher absenteeism rate, reduced employee engagement and increased employee turnover.

As part of the Human Resources or leadership team, you’ll know that staff burnout often results in additional costs – financial, reputational and cultural – for your business, too.

Recognising the early signs and risk factors of employee burnout can help you prevent these serious issues from occurring. After all – prevention is better than cure.

Fortunately, there are innovative tools like VibeCatch’s employee engagement QWL (Quality Work Life) Polls that can provide your organisation with relevant insights in addressing employee burnout before they happen.

5 Reasons Why HR Needs To Invest In Employee Pulse Surveys

Work has been challenging for everyone lately.

In particular, employees are having to bear the responsibility of producing consistent results despite the unprecedented turbulence and recent disruptions.

As part of a company’s HR or Management team, you have to check in on them more frequently to assess:

their overall welfare and mental health
if they feel sufficiently supported across all aspects of their job and
if they have the means to succeed, despite working remotely or under unusual conditions.

Most businesses have been doing this through lengthy surveys. Unfortunately, these tend to not be very effective in resolving employee engagement issues.

To bridge this gap between survey results and employee engagement, more companies are now investing in pulse surveys. Here’s what you need to know about pulse surveys and how they can address your business’ needs.

QWL: The Best Way To Conduct Employee Engagement Surveys

Employee engagement surveys, as discussed in our previous blog, have an important role in collating and understanding your team’s levels of motivation, involvement and satisfaction towards your company and the work they do.

Most of the time, employee engagement surveys are conducted through generic ready made pulse surveys that can include an option of creating your own questions.

While this is the default option, a Quality of Work Life (QWL) engagement survey offers a much higher and more useful level of insight.

Here’s why conducting a QWL engagement survey can help your business in many ways by learning more about your staff.
