Confused About Leave Analysis To Be Done

hi Seniors,

I am a fresher and have recently joined a good software CMMI -L5 company.... my superior has assigned me a work of doing the analysis of the leaves taken by the employees in the organization.

i am little confused as to how to go about starting this work and also what would be the various parameters that i can map to the leaves where i can achieve some inference from the data...

The analysis is being done on two ground..

1. people who have taken more leaves and vice versa...

it would be of great heal for me if you guys could provide me with some parameters (eg:productivity ) where i could map these with the leaves data to achieve some meaning from it...

Thanks in advance

Regards
Rakesh

Hi Rakesh,
How about these:
- Number of sick leaves taken on an average. Check the reasons as well.
- Average number of people on leave in any given month
- If possible, check the reasons given for leave and see if you can group them.
- See in which period most of the employees are taking many leaves.
- Average number of leaves taken by employees in different management levels - lower, middle and senior.
As of now I can think only of these. I shall let you know if I can think of any other ways to analyse leaves.

Hi Deepthi...
Thank you so much for your response.... Yes the suggestios do seem to give me some clarity on what needs to be done and specially the comparision of the leaves taken by different levels of managemet is really valuable to me and would help me...
Thank you so much once again...
And please do let me know of any suggestions further... as it would aid in my analysis and help me further

hi Rakesh,
There must be a leave policy in ur organisation. Tke the help of that in ur analysis. When u r calculating the leaves availed by the employees,catagorise them such as
-illness
-holiday
-leave without pay
Then calculate how many took leave on what basis for every month.

Thank you akhila for your reply.....
but the problem in our organization is that we do not have the concept of sick leaves and the employee can avail only Paid leaves ( 18 in num ) for any reason... so in that sense it will be tedious for me to actually check every leave report and then categorise them....
having said that I am actually looking for some parameters ( eg: Productivity) which would be affected because of taking leaves.... and thus concentrate on the affect of leaves....
I would urge all the seniors to pour in more ideas with respect to this subject
Thanking u all....
