Dear All.
One important suggestion friends...........we have all discussed about controlling the Absentism due to the monetary aspects. I am working as a HR Person for a company. Let me narrate some reasons why i have been taking leaves (Not absentism)
1. I stay alone here, i have some important couriers to be made today.
2. I am the only son of my parents and i have to take care of the household things like paying off my electricity bills, phone bills, etc.......
3. I have no one who can help me in certain situations where i have to deposit money in my bank and have to attend some of the issues which a reliever in my family coulld have attended to if i was not the only person who was supposed to do that task.
4. i have to attend some interivews.
5. I am fed up with my work and there is a hell lot of monotony in work.
6. I have been slogging a lot and i feel its my right to take a days off regardless of the approval as i have put in so much of efforts in the last week.
there are lot of reasons why i take a leave / days off as a employee.
so deducting salary some reasons like 1, 2, 3, 5, 6...woudl not motivate me but woudl lead to a negative feeling about the company which i can propogate to the peers, colleauges and subordinates......i woudl fee.......i lost a good chunk of money today because i had to go to RTO for my driving liscence........the company is not eally good in policies etc....such perceptions are detrimental for the companys growth.
The above are the reasons why someone takes leave, so i suggest.
1. allot a staff boy to attend a help desk of HR in your organization " May i help You"
2. this person will collect the bills and money from the employees for the electricity, mobile, landline, courier, travel tickets.......
3. as HR you have to get in contract with the respective agencies like travel mgmt.
4. call the respective local DSA collection person of the service operator to collect the bills in a week twice.
5. call the courier person to the office to collect the envelops and parcels etc.
these things will reduce the abentism.............i am sure this works............this has cut down absentism in my org.........
Pl reply...............if you find this helps ........
