How To Deal With Employees Who Are Chronically Late Or Absent

Why do some employees always find a way to make it to work on time while others are chronically late or absent?

HR professionals understand the frustrations and high cost of employee absenteeism and tardiness, which not only costs the business time and money, but causes a whole host of other problems, such as lost productivity and bad will from your "good" employees.

But what have you done to determine and address the root causes - and how successful have you been?

For instance, does your organization have an attendance policy that sets standards that are communicated to all employees? Do you have - and follow - a corrective discipline policy for those who break the rules?

Learning Objectives:

This audio conference offers you and your managers easy-to-use methods to confidently address some of the most challenging attendance problems. Highlights include how to:

• Quickly get to the root cause(s) of the tardiness and/or absenteeism
• Develop a strategic approach to the "start-of-the-workday" problem for managers and supervisors
• Support a work environment that doesn't pressure employees to come to work sick
• Conduct effective and fair return-to-work interviews, one of the best tools for managing absenteeism
• Ensure that every employee is aware of your tardiness and absenteeism policy
• Determine if job applicants have chronic attendance issues before you hire them
• Abide by legally protected reasons for absences, no matter how you feel about it
• What you can - and can't - ask for re documenting the absence
• Maintain an open door policy and address violators as soon as you identify patterns of abuse
• How to properly consult and document abusers...and more!

Cannot Attend The Live Presentation?

This presentation is also available in a recorded format, in On-Demand version, as shown in the pricing options below.

Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.

The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form of training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!

And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office.

Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions.
