The concept of absenteeism management system in a company

Abstract

In many enterprises managing absenteeism is dictated by legal regulations in this regard and managerial pragmatics boiling down mainly to the control of absences and disciplining employees. In recent years, the approach of firms to employees has been changing. Caring about their condition, commitment and satisfaction from work are not perceived as a duty any more, but as a chance. However, there is no universal methodology of absenteeism management integrating the holistic approach and interdisciplinary approach, combining various spheres and perspectives. The aim of the paper is to present a concept of the absenteeism management system in an enterprise, aimed at the reduction of sickness absenteeism and the improvement of the enterprise performance. A thesis was adopted that the policy and operational activities undertaken within absenteeism management lead to the creation of common value for the firm and the employees. The presented concept of the system of managing sickness absenteeism includes five elements: goals and subject of the management, diagnosing causes and effects of absenteeism, preventive measures, the measurement of the effectiveness of the measures, as well as the analysis and assessment of the impact of these activities on the company’s performance, and the verification of the methods of absenteeism management process. To fulfil the goal defined in this way, the following research methods were used: an analysis of the research findings of predecessors and the findings of own empirical research into the conditions of the humanization of work and the factors of work motivation.
